Prerequisites for adding data Collectors (EMC data domain storage)
64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
When the 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 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).
For most Backup Manager systems, install the Data Collector on a server that is in the same time zone as the backup server from which you are collecting data. For Cohesity NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.
Port used by the Data Domain Data Collector:
Ensure that you have data domain version 5.7 and above supported for collecting Physical Capacity Measurement (PCM) per mtree for Data Domain.
On the Data Domain Operating System, execute the following two commands with admin privileges:
Note:
By default PCM is disabled.
Command to enable PCM: compression physical-capacity-measurement enable and-initialize
Command to scheduled PCM job per day for mtree: compression physical-capacity-measurement schedule create jf_sched2 mtrees /data/col1/backup time 1400
