Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (EMC Data Domain)
• 64-bit OS. See the APTARE StorageConsole Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.
• Reside in the same time zone as the subsystem from which data will be collected.
• If the backup servers belong to a cluster, StorageConsole communicates with the cluster for data collection.
• 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).
• Port 22 for SSH.
Backup Manager: Collection of Backup and Restore Data
The following collection mechanisms are used:
• EMC Data Domain - A Data Collector policy can be configured to use the command-line interface (CLI) to gather the details. Note that more details can be obtained via the CLI than with SNMP.
