Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (NetApp Cluster)
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 NetApp Cluster-Mode
1. Note the port used by the NetApp Cluster-Mode Data Collector: TCP 443.
2. Gather the following required configuration details:
• NetApp Addresses: IP addresses or names (ONTAP 7 addresses cannot be used).
• User ID & Password: Read-only user ID and password.
3. Create a NetApp Cluster-Mode read-only user:
security login create -username monitor -application ontapi -authmethod password -role readonly
security login role create -role apt_readonly -cmddirname security -access readonly
security login create -username apt_user -application ontapi -authmethod password -role apt_readonly
