Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (NetApp E-Series/IBM Modular)
Note: IBM Modular refers to the 3000, 4000, and 5000 series arrays.
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).
