Installation overview (EMC data domain Backup)

It is important to understand where the Data Collector software must be installed so that you can determine how many Data Collectors must be installed and which servers are best suited for the deployment. The following lists the high-level steps required to install a data collector for a specific vendor subsystem.

  1. Update the Local Hosts file. This enables Portal access.

  2. Add EMC Data Domain Servers.

  3. In the Portal, add a Data Collector, if one has not already been created.

  4. In the Portal, add the EMC Data Domain data collector policy.

  5. On the Data Collector Server, install the Data Collector software.

  6. Validate the Data Collector Installation.

Note:

These steps apply only if you are performing an IN-HOUSE installation. If a third-party service provider is hosting your Portal, that is, a HOSTED installation (perhaps for a product evaluation) skip this section and contact your hosting organization's representative to configure the hosted portal for your Data Collector.
