Data transmission to Cohesity

The required telemetry information is uploaded to Cohesity in two different ways. Your upload method choice depends on your preference.

By default, the data is uploaded automatically every day. This method requires the least user intervention and ensures the Usage Insights data is current.

Description

NetBackup 8.1.2 and later

If you have NetBackup 8.1.2 and later, the automatic upload requires an open port on your firewall to transmit HTTPS traffic. The default port for HTTPS traffic is port 443.

NetBackup 8.3 and later

If you have NetBackup 8.3 and later, you can use the unauthenticated proxy server with HTTP protocol to upload the data automatically and you do not require to open a port on your firewall.
