Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (Veritas NetBackup)
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 ports 1556 and 13724, WMI range of ports, Linux ssh 22
For specific NetBackup Data Collector requirements, see Centralized or Distributed Deployment (Veritas NetBackup).
Solaris Deployment - The nohup command must be substituted in the startup.sh script for the APTARE agent services to run. Edit the startup.sh script under /opt/aptare/mbs/bin and replace exec with nohup.
