Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (EMC Avamar)
• 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).
• TCP ports 5555 and 22.
• An Avamar Utility Node server must be configured in the Data Collector Policy. The login credentials must have admin or dpn access to the Avamar utility node so that the Data Collector can invoke command-line programs in the /usr/local/avamar/bin directory.
Backup Manager: Collection of Backup and Restore Data
For Backup Manager, where you install the Data Collector depends on the backup solution.
• One Data Collector can be used to include all of these backup products: CommVault Simpana, EMC Avamar, EMC NetWorker, EMC Data Domain, Symantec Backup Exec, Symantec NetBackup, HP Data Protector, and Generic Backup products. And, you also can include other enterprise objects, such as storage arrays, in this Data Collector.
• The Data Collector uses JDBC as a read-only user to collect point-in-time data from the Avamar Management Console Server (MCS) database. In addition, command-line-interface (CLI) commands access the utility node for Avamar server status details.
