NetBackup IT Analytics Foundation
Hi
I have a question on NBITA Foundation Data Collectors.
We've used OpsCenter up to this point which was just a single server that we pointed towards the master server. Our environment is small with just a single Windows 10.1 Primary server virtual machine and a single NB 5250 appliance all on a single site.
For the NBITA deployment we plan to create a new VM for the Oracle and Portal server but, ideally, don't want to deploy a further VM to install the data collector. I have read that it is only for 'performance' reasons that Veritas don't recommend install the DC on the same VM as the portal server but it can be done if installed into a different directory. I think this would be fine for us but wanted thoughts from others.
I also wasn't sure if I actually need to deploy data collector binaries for this? - As we will only be using the Foundation version for NetBackup, do I just configure the NBU Primary server itself on the Portal server as the data collector and then create the NetBackup policy to point towards the NetBackup domain? As we did on the old OpsCenter server.
many thanks in advance
Just search it again.
Veritas had authorized the use of ALTA collector with IT analytics. So there is not need to install a separate datacollector to gather netbackup data. You can use the preinstalled collector on the primary server.
