IT Analytics Foundation License Inclusions and Implementation Guide

Installation overview (Veritas Backup Exec)

  1. Update the local hosts file.

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

  3. Enable TCP/IP for the SQL Server.

  4. Configure a Windows User.

  5. Add Veritas Backup Exec Servers.

  6. In the Portal, add the Veritas Backup Exec data collector policy.

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

  8. 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.
