• Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:

• 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).

• Huawei OceanStor uses a default array name, Huawei.Storage for all arrays. APTARE IT Analytics requires a unique array name for data collection and to be able to report valid capacity data. The default array name must be changed to a unique entry on the Huawei system.
