Minimum Requirements: 64-bit OS, 2 CPUs or vCPUs and 32 GiB RAM.

If there is a firewall between the NetBackup Master Servers and the Data Collector Server, ensure that bi-directional port communication is open on ports 1556 and 13724.

For a NetBackup Centralized Data Collector (Linux or Windows OS), the Data Collector needs access to the Admin commands (CLI). This typically requires the NetBackup Master Server binaries to be installed on the Data Collector server. The CLI is available only with the Master Server binaries. Note that the installation of these binaries may require you to acquire a NetBackup Master Server license from Veritas.

See Veritas NetBackup 8.1 (and later) requirements for centralized collection.

The NetBackup software version on the Data Collector must match the major and minor version of the NetBackup software that is installed on the Master or Media Server that is being probed. When the Data Collector starts, it checks versions and halts collection for the Master Server where the mismatch is found. Refer to the Veritas documentation for more information about major and minor version requirements.

For SLP collection, a WMI Proxy Server is required. WMI uses DCOM for networking. DCOM dynamically allocates port numbers for clients. DCOM's service runs on port 135 (a static port) and any client communicating with a host connects on this port. The DCOM service allocates the specific port for the WMI service. To set up a fixed port for WMI, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447%28VS.85%29.aspx.
