Managing and Monitoring Data Collection > NetApp E-Series/IBM Modular Data Collector Policy
   
Version 9.1.01
NetApp E-Series/IBM Modular Data Collector Policy
This Data Collector Policy can be configured to gather data from both NetApp E-Series storage systems (Filers) or IBM Modular storage arrays. In fact, if you are collecting from both NetApp E-Series and IBM Modular arrays, you can enter the IP addresses or host names from array types in the same Data Collector Policy. When configuring Data Collector Policies for IBM storage arrays, the 3000 and 4000 Series are referred to as the IBM Modular series and the 6000 and 8000 Series are referred to as the IBM Enterprise series.

Prerequisites: A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies. For specific prerequisites and supported configurations, see the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide.

Field
Description
Sample Value
Collector Domain
The domain of the collector to which the collector backup policy is being added. This is a read-only field. By default, the domain for a new policy will be the same as the domain for the collector. This field is set when you add a collector.
 
Policy Domain
The Collector Domain is the domain that was supplied during the Data Collector installation process. The Policy Domain is the domain of the policy that is being configured for the Data Collector. The Policy Domain must be set to the same value as the Collector Domain.
The domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. All newly discovered hosts are added to the root host group associated with the Policy Domain.
Typically, only one Policy Domain will be available in the drop-down list. If you are a Managed Services Provider, each of your customers will have a unique domain with its own host group hierarchy.
To find your Domain name select Admin > Hosts and Domains > Domains.
