Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (EMC Avamar)
• 64-bit OS. See the Hitachi Storage Viewer Certified Configurations Guide for supported operating systems.
• Support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.
• For performance reasons, HDS recommends that you do not install Data Collectors on the same server as the Hitachi Storage Viewer 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).
• TCP ports 5555 and 22.
Storage Viewer for Backup: Collection of Backup and Restore Data
For Storage Viewer for Backup, where you install the Data Collector depends on the backup solution.
• One Data Collector can be used to include all of these backup products: CommVault Simpana, EMC Avamar, EMC NetWorker, EMC Data Domain, Symantec Backup Exec, Symantec NetBackup, HP Data Protector, and Generic Backup products. And, you also can include other enterprise objects, such as storage arrays, in this Data Collector.
• The Data Collector uses JDBC as a read-only user to collect point-in-time data from the Avamar Management Console Server (MCS) database. In addition, command-line-interface (CLI) commands access the utility node for Avamar server status details.
