General prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (Cohesity NetBackup)
64-bit OS. See the Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
Supports Amazon Corretto 17. Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK).
In support of near-real time collection for Veritas NetBackup, the following knowledge base article discusses additional information about nbu_monitor_util: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100047232.
Windows Only Requirement -
If a Data Collector is required to collect data from Cohesity NetBackup Primary Server running on Windows System to non-English (United States) locale:
A Windows user must be created with the Administrative group of Windows system that will run the data Collector with culture set to English-US, and Region and Language set to English -US.
The current system locale must be set to the same language as the NetBackup Primary Server.
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 Cohesity NetBackup and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) collection, the Data Collector server and backup server can be in different time zones.
Uses ports 443, 1556, and 13724 WMI range of ports, Linux ssh 22
The NetBackup Event Monitor probe, enabled on the data collector policy screen, uses the nb_monitor_util executable. This executable is installed by default for all NetBackup 8.2 installations. It can be found in the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies directory on Linux and \Program Files\Veritas\Netbackup\bin\goodies on Windows. The Event Monitor probe collects events generated by the nb_monitor_util and handles create/update/delete events for Backup Policy, Storage Unit, Storage Unit Group and Storage Lifecycle Policy.
The data collection, while executing the NetBackup probes, is supported even if the root/admin users does NOT have the CLI access permission in NetBackup.
Note:
This scenario is applicable in the distributed environment.
