• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE 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 IT Analytics 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).

• For most Backup Manager systems, install the Data Collector on a server that is in the same time zone as the backup server from which you are collecting data. For Veritas NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.

• Port used by the Data Domain Data Collector: Port 22 for SSH.

• If collecting File-Level Compression metrics, Veritas NetBackup collection must be enabled.

• Aggregated global and local compression rates for all Veritas NetBackup backup images can be collected for all active Data Domain Server MTrees connected (via DDBOOST) to NetBackup Master Servers. These Master Servers must have an active Data Collector that has successfully completed an initial data collection. Initiate compression rate collection by selecting File-Level Compression in the Data Domain Data Collector Policy.
