Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (HPE Nimble Storage)
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 HPE Nimble Storage Data Collector: TCP 5392.
Gather the following required configuration details:
HPE Nimble Storage Management Server: IP addresses or host name.
SSSU Home: Location of the SSSU (Storage System Scripting Utility) command-line utility on the Data Collector.
Array User ID & Password: Credentials for a view-only user for the HPE Nimble Storage Management System.
