Note: These steps apply only if you are performing an IN-HOUSE installation. If a third-party service provider is hosting your Portal, that is, a HOSTED installation (perhaps for a product evaluation) skip this section and contact your hosting organization’s representative to configure the hosted portal for your Data Collector.
Add EMC Data Domain Servers
Add or edit EMC Data Domain servers to APTARE IT Analytics directly from the data collector policy window or through the Inventory. See Managing Hosts and Backup Servers.
Note: When adding an EMC Data Domain Server, in the Inventory select Hosts, not Backup Servers.
1. Add a host for each Data Domain server.
• External Host Name - Displayed in the Portal.
• Internal Host Name - Must match the host name of the Data Domain server; fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
• Backup Type - Data Domain Server
2. If collecting File-Level Compression data, see Adding an EMC Data Domain Backup Data Collector Policy.
