Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (EMC VNX)
Identify a server where the Data Collector software will be installed. Server requirements include:
64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
When the NetBackup IT Analytics system collects data from any vendor subsystem, the collection process expects name/value pairs to be in US English, and requires the installation to be done by an Administrator with a US English locale. The server's language version can be non-US English.
Supports Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).
For performance reasons, do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the NetBackup IT Analytics 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).
Note the port used by the EMC VNX Data Collector: NaviCLI 443/2163/6389/6390/6391/6392.
NaviSecCLI must be installed on the Data Collector server.
A low security level for certificates is required. Ensure this setting by using the following command:
naviseccli security -certificate -setLevel low
Gather the following required configuration details:
Array Addresses: List of IP addresses to be probed, only one storage processor address per array.
EMC Navi Client Software Location: Path of the software installation.
NaviSuite User ID & Password: Credentials for a view-only user ID.
Enable performance data logging on the VNX system to collect LUN performance information.
