Before You Install the Data Collector (Generic Backup)
The following tasks must be performed to set up Generic Backup Data Collection:
1. In the StorageConsole Portal, create a host of type: Generic Backup Server. This is the server that is managing the backups of the clients for which you will be importing backup data. Refer to the APTARE StorageConsole User’s Guide.
2. In the StorageConsole Portal, add a Data Collector Policy of Product Type: Generic Backup. In this policy, supply the path to the CSV file.
Update the Local Hosts File
1. Add the Portal IP Address to the Local Hosts file on the Data Collector server or on any available client with web-browsing capabilities.
Note: Only edit the local hosts file if a DNS entry hasn’t already been set up in your enterprise to resolve both http://aptareportal.yourdomain.com and http://aptareagent.yourdomain.com to the Portal IP address.
a. Login to the Data Collector server.
b. On a Linux server:
vi /etc/hosts
Add entries for aptareportal.yourdomain.com and aptareagent.yourdomain.com, both resolving to the Portal server IP address.
On a Windows server:
edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add entries for aptareportal.yourdomain.com and aptareagent.yourdomain.com, both resolving to the Portal server IP address.
2. On the Data Collector server, add entries to the local hosts file, both resolving to the Portal server IP address.
Example:
• 172.16.2.2 aptareportal.<yourdomain>.com
• 172.16.2.3 aptareagent.<yourdomain>.com
