IT Analytics Foundation License Inclusions and Implementation Guide

Prerequisites for adding Data Collectors (Veritas NetBackup appliance)

  • Install Data Collector on the same server as NetBackup Appliance.

  • Minimum NetBackup Appliance 3.1.2 is recommended. If a previous version is installed, the utility nb_monitor_util, must be manually installed.

  • Server requirements include:

  • 64-bit OS. See theCertified 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, the recommendation is that you 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).
