• Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:

• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.

• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8.

• For performance reasons, APTARE recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the StorageConsole Portal. However, if you must have both on the same server, verify that the Portal and Data Collector software do not reside in the same directory.

• Install only one Data Collector on a server (or OS instance).

• Huawei OceanStor uses a default array name, Huawei.Storage for all arrays. APTARE StorageConsole requires a unique array name for data collection and to be able to report valid capacity data. The default array name must be changed to a unique entry on the Huawei system.
