Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (IBM SVC)
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 IT Analytics 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).
Ports: TCP 5988, 5989, SSH 22
SSPC (System Storage Productivity Center) with the CIMOM agent is required.
Gather the following required configuration details:
IBM SVC Master Console Server: IP addresses or name of the server. For embedded CIMOM, this is the node's IP address and a separated Data Collector policy must be created for each node.
User ID & Password: Credentials to access the IBM SVC Master Console Server: Super User ID and password for CIMOM. The same user is used to execute CLI commands via ssh.
