Architecture Overview (EMC Data Domain)
The following diagram provides an example of how the EMC Data Domain Data Collector could be deployed in your environment.
Figure 4.1 Data Collector in an EMC Data Domain Environment
The APTARE StorageConsole Data Collector connects to the Data Domain system via SSH to issue data-gathering commands from the command-line interface (CLI). Alternatively, SNMP can be configured for data collection queries. Note that this is an either/or configuration where you must choose the communication method. The recommended configuration is the command-line interface, as it provides access to details that are not yet available via SNMP.
The Data Collection policy configuration is based on the collection method that you choose. For example, if you intend to collect via SNMP, the community string and SNMP port number are required.
