Install Data Collector binaries on Windows (without configuration)
This Data Collector installation allows you to install the collector independent of the portal software installation. The collector remains disconnected from the portal until you configure it using a response file, that contains credentials of the Data Collector created on the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal and the data receiver.
To install a Data Collector:
- Download and mount the Data Collector installer ISO file.
- Install the Data Collector using
silentinstall.cmdand follow the installation prompt.You can install the Data Collector in the following options:
Install at default location:
<ISO_MOUNT_DRIVE>:\silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL
Install at custom location:
<ISO_MOUNT_DRIVE>:\silentinstall.cmd /INSTALL_PATH:<custom location for dc installation> /INSTALL_TYPE:INSTALL
The independent Data Collector installation is complete.
A sample responsefile is saved when you install the Data Collector. To connect the Data Collector with the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal, you must configure its responsefile with the credentials of the Data Collector created on the portal and run a configuration command as described in the procedure below.
To configure the Data Collector:
- Obtain the following details from the NetBackup IT Analytics Portal:
Registration file downloaded from the Portal.
Proxy server configuration details
- Update the
responseFile.cmdwith the above values.@ECHO OFF REM ------------------------------------------------- SET DATACOLLECTOR_REGISTRATION_FILE_PATH= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: Enter the Data Collector's Key File path. The file path must include name of the file that was downloaded from the Portal. REM Valid input values: Absolute path of key file REM Required: True REM ------------------------------------------------- SET HTTP_PROXY_CONF=N REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: It indicate whether proxy should be configured or not REM Valid input values: Y,N REM Default value: N REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_HTTP_URL= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: IP/hostname for HTTP Proxy REM Valid input values: 10.20.30.40, localhost REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_HTTP_PORT= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: Port for HTTP proxy REM Valid input values: Any number between 0 and 65535 REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_HTTPS_URL= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: IP/hostname for HTTPS Proxy REM Valid input values: 10.20.30.40, localhost REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_HTTPS_PORT= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: Port for HTTPS proxy REM Valid input values: Any number between 0 and 65535 REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_USERID= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: Proxy UserId REM Default value: REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_PASSWORD= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: Proxy user password REM Default value: REM ------------------------------------------------- SET PROXY_NOT_FOR= REM ------------------------------------------------- REM Description: List of IP/hostname which should be excluded for proxy REM Default value:
The Data Collector installation without connecting it with the portal is complete
To configure the installation, run the below command from command prompt:
<ISO_MOUNT_DRIVE>:\silentinstall.cmd /RESPFILE:<responsefile_path> /INSTALL_PATH:<Data_Collector_installation_path> /INSTALL_TYPE:CONFIG
or
<INATALL_PATH>\DC\configure.cmd" /RESPFILE:<response_file_path> /INSTALL_TYPE:CONFIG
Remove the Data Collector installation from Control Panel > Add and Remove Programs menu.
