data collection failed for selected master servers. opscenter agent is not connected.
I have OpsCenter 7.1.0.1

It is part of the OpsCenter Installer - just select OpsCenter Agent Installation rather than OpsCenter Server from the Browser.exe (assuming you are on Windows)
You should also patch it to 7.1.0.1 using the OpsCenter patch
#edit#
Just to make you aware that this does not give you a graph or show a report - it just runs nbdeployutil and when you click on the link in OpsCenter it just lets you download the excel file that has been created - it does niothing more fancy than that.

For Capacity reporting collection in OpsCenter you need to install the OpsCenter agent on the NetBackup Master
This is the only thing that actually needs teh agent installed on a NetBackup Master
To be honest it just runs the nbdeployutil so you could just run that yourself rather than go through all of the OpsCenter setup

So you need to follow the advice on the last tab and pass the report to Symantec who will advise which value to use
It will generally be close to but possibly less than your largest figure shown but you also need to take into account your year on year growth
