Prerequisites for Data Collector Deployment (Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers)
• 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).
• Port 443 must be open. Data collection uses HTTPS without certificates for secure connections.
Storage Viewer for Virtual Servers: Collection of VMware Data
• This Data Collector policy can be incorporated with an existing Data Collector Policy. A Data Collector can collect data from Virtual Center (vCenter) or from specific ESX servers that are not managed by vCenter.
• The VMware Data Collector is multi-threaded enabling it to poll up to five vCenters in one polling cycle. Therefore, multiple vCenter collections can be configured in one Data Collector policy.
