Access Requirements by OS

Table: Host Resources Prerequisites by Operating System

Host OS	Host Access Requirements	Port Requirements	Notes
Linux RH Linux SUSE CentOS AIX Solaris	ssh or telnet must be enabled Some commands may require an account with super-user root privileges. sudo, sesudo, and pbrun are supported; ensure the user ID has required sudo, sesudo, or pbrun privileges.	ssh: 22 telnet: 23	Collection uses ssh/telnet to execute commands. OS and application commands require root privileges for HBA API access. The sysstat utility must be installed on Linux servers or storage nodes for Linux host performance data collection.
Windows	A WMI Proxy is required to collect from Windows hosts. All Windows hosts require Local or System Administrator privileges for WMI.	RPC: TCP Port 135 for WMI DCOM: TCP/UDP 1024-65535 TCP/IP 1248, if WMI Proxy server is not the same as the Data Collector server	When the Data Collector Policy is configured to include file-level data, the Data Collector and WMI need to use a Windows Domain Administrator ID.

DCOM: TCP/UDP 1024-65535

TCP/IP 1248, if WMI Proxy server is not the same as the Data Collector server

When the Data Collector Policy is configured to include file-level data, the Data Collector and WMI need to use a Windows Domain Administrator ID.
