Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (Dell EMC NetWorker Backup & Recovery)
EMC NetWorker data collection policies are implemented based on vendor version number. For EMC NetWorker versions post 9.2.1.x, collection is done using the policy titled: DELL EMC NetWorker Backup & Recovery.
See Adding a Dell EMC Networker Backup & Recovery Data Collector policy .
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 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 Veritas NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.
The NetWorker REST API is installed with the NetWorker installation. As part of the installation process, an Apache Tomcat instance is installed and a nonroot -user, nsrtomcat, is created. If your system has special user security requirements, ensure that proper operational permissions are granted to the nsrtomcat users.
With the NetWorker REST API, all endpoints other than initial landing endpoint (https://your-server-name:9090/nwrestapi/) require authentication. Once a user has been authenticated by the API, permissions to NetWorker resources will be based on the NetWorker permissions for that user.
Default port number to connect to NetWorker REST API is 9090. This value is configurable in the policy.
