Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (EMC Data Domain Backup)
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:
If collecting File-Level Compression metrics, Cohesity NetBackup collection must be enabled.
Aggregated global and local compression rates for all Cohesity NetBackup backup images can be collected for all active Data Domain Server MTrees connected (via DDBOOST) to NetBackup Primary Servers. These Primary Servers must have an active Data Collector that has successfully completed an initial data collection. Initiate compression rate collection by selecting File-Level Compression in the Data Domain Data Collector Policy.
