Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (HP Data Protector)
• 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.
• Uses TCP port 5555, WMI range of ports, Linux ssh 22
• The HP Data Protector (HPDP) client software version must match the specific version (major and minor) of the HPDP server being probed.
