Installation overview (HP Data Protector)

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

  2. Identify the specific HP Data Protector elements required for the Data Collector configuration:

    • See Identify HP Data Protector collection requirements.

    • See Configure the Data Collector server in Cell Manager (HP Data Protector).

    • See Configure an HP Data Protector admin user.

    • See Validate HP Data Protector setup.

  3. In the IT Analytics Portal, configure the HP Data Protector servers that are needed for data collection.

    See Add HP Cell Manager servers to IT Analytics.

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

  5. Configure an HP Data Protector data collection policy.

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

  7. 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.
