Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (EMC NetWorker)
64-bit OS. See the APTARE IT Analytics Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 10.0.2.
For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the APTARE 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.
The ports used by the NetWorker Data Collector are: NSRADMIN TCP 7937-7940, SSH 22 and WMI Proxy range of ports
If NetWorker is installed on a Windows server, the Data Collector must be on a Windows server.
Install a Backup Client on the Data Collector server to enable access to NetWorker Administrative Tools.
For NetWorker 7.5 and 7.6, a writable, network-accessible share must be on the NetWorker server for log file transfers to the Data Collector server.
Configure a Notification Action in EMC NetWorker.
