Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (EMC Symmetrix)
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).
The Data Collector must be installed on the server that manages the Symmetrix array.
: EMC Solutions Enabler should be running on a server that is not the Data Collector server; the SYMAPI server daemon (storsrvd) must be running on this server. See the Data Collector installation guide for steps to verify this configuration.
Set the EMC Solutions Enabler user account to instead of Monitor.
SymCLI must be installed on the Data Collector server.
For additional specific prerequisite details and supported configurations, see the Certified Configurations Guide.
A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies.
