Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (IBM SVC)
1. Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:
• 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).
Data Collector Configurations Specific to IBM SVC
1. Note the port used by the IBM SVC Data Collector: TCP 5988, 5989.
2. SSPC (System Storage Productivity Center) with the CIMOM agent is required.
3. Gather the following required configuration details:
• IBM SVC Master Console Server: IP addresses or name of the server. For embedded CIMOM, this is the node’s IP address and a separated Data Collector policy must be created for each node.
• User ID & Password: Credentials to access the IBM SVC Master Console Server.
