A NetBackup 7.0 master server does not require any Agent or data collector for
data collection. The data is collected automatically by the OpsCenter server from
an NBU 7.0 master server using NetBackup Service Layer (NBSL). However, an
Agent must be installed to collect specific data (image, error log, and scheduled
jobs data) from a master server whose version is less than 7.0.
Starting with the 6.0 release of NetBackup, NBSL components are included as a
part of NetBackup on master and media servers
NBSL is required and used by OpsCenter for all NetBackup monitoring, managing,
and control functions. There is an impact if NBSL stops running on a managed
NetBackup server.
If NBSL stops, OpsCenter may not capture any changes that were made to the
NetBackup configuration. When NBSL restarts, OpsCenter correctly recaptures
the latest state.
