• 64-bit OS.

• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.

• For performance reasons, APTARE recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the StorageConsole 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).

• A TSM client must be installed on the Data Collector server with the dsmadmc command available.

• Ports to TSM instances must be open. Each instance will have a unique port. Make note of these instance/port combinations for data collection.
