Preparing for Centralized Data Collection on a Remote Cell Manager
Assumption: The following steps assume that HP Data Protector Cell Manager has been installed on a server that is not the same as the Hitachi Storage Viewer Data Collector server.
The following information will be used later when you configure a Data Collection Policy via the Hitachi Storage Viewer Portal (See
Adding/Editing Data Collectors).
On the HP Data Protector Cell Manager Server:
1. Identify the Cell Manager Server’s Name: ________________________________
2. Identify the OS of the Cell Manager Server: ________________________________
3. Identify the directory where the Cell Manager is installed. This path will be used later to fill in the Remote Software Location field when you configure the Data Collector policy in the Storage Viewer Portal: ____________________________________
Typically, this location will be:
Windows: C:\Program Files\Omniback
Linux: /opt/omni
4. If the Data Collector is installed on a Linux OS, a WMI Proxy Server must be installed on a Windows system in order to collect data from a Cell Manager that is installed on a Windows system.
6. The omnidbutil command is executed on the Cell Manager server to obtain drive status. Therefore, the following configuration is required:
The user defined in the Data Collector must be an
Admin user that the Cell Manager Server recognizes—either as a local user account or a Windows domain user account—that has
execute rights to the
omnidbutil command. See also

Adding/Editing Data Collectors.
On the Hitachi Storage Viewer Data Collector Server:
1. Make sure the Data Collector server has become the HPDP client with the HPDP User Interface component installed.
Find the directory (default is: C:\Program Files\omniback\bin) where the following commands are located and verify that the following commands exist in that directory. This validates that the User Interface was installed correctly.
