Adding a HPE StoreOnce policy
A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies. For specific prerequisites and supported configurations for a specific vendor, see the IT AnalyticsCertified Configurations Guide.
For some policies, collections can be run on-demand using the button on the Collector Administration page action bar. The Run button is only displayed if the policy vendor is supported. On-demand collection allows you to select which probes and devices to run collection against. This action collects data the same way as a scheduled run, plus logging information for troubleshooting purposes. For probe descriptions, refer to the policy.
To add the policy
- Select Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration. Currently configured Portal Data Collectors are displayed.
- Search for a Collector if required.
- Select a Data Collector from the list.
- Click Add Policy, and then select the HPE StoreOnce policy from the menu.
- Enter or select the parameters. Mandatory parameters are denoted by an asterisk (*):
Field
Description
Collector Domain
The domain of the collector to which the collector backup policy is being added. This is a read-only field. By default, the domain for a new policy will be the same as the domain for the collector. This field is set when you add a collector.
Policy Domain
The Policy Domain is the domain of the policy that is being configured for the Data Collector. The Policy Domain must be set to the same value as the Collector Domain. The domain identifies the top level of your host group hierarchy. All newly discovered hosts are added to the root host group associated with the Policy Domain.
Typically, only one Policy Domain will be available in the drop-down list. If you are a Managed Services Provider, each of your customers will have a unique domain with its own host group hierarchy.
To find your Domain name, click your login name and select My Profile from the menu. Your Domain name is displayed in your profile settings.
