Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (EMC Avamar)
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.
TCP ports 5555 and 22.
An Avamar Utility Node server must be configured in the Data Collector Policy. The login credentials must have or access to the Avamar utility node so that the Data Collector can invoke command-line programs in the /usr/local/avamar/bin directory.
One Data Collector can be used to include all of these backup products: Commvault Simpana, EMC Avamar, EMC NetWorker, EMC Data Domain, Backup Exec, Cohesity NetBackup, HP Data Protector, and Generic Backup products. And, you also can include other enterprise objects, such as storage arrays, in this Data Collector.
The Data Collector uses JDBC as a read-only user to collect point-in-time data from the Avamar Management Console Server (MCS) database. In addition, command-line-interface (CLI) commands access the utility node for Avamar server status details.
