Manually install or uninstall NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector binaries
The NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector reports NetBackup information to NetBackup IT Analytics or Veritas Alta Analytics. The Data Collector is installed along with NetBackup installation or upgrade. The following steps help you manually install or uninstall the Data Collector.
You may need to manually install the Data Collector if it fails to install during the NetBackup install or upgrade. A failure to install the Data Collector does not cause the entire NetBackup primary server installation or upgrade to fail. If you don't plan to use the Data Collector, you may want to uninstall it.
The steps that are shown do not configure the Data Collector to connect with any portal. These steps only install the Data Collector. The Data Collector is configured after the NetBackup primary server connects with Veritas Alta Analytics or NetBackup IT Analytics Portal.
More information about how to configure the Data Collector is available.
See Manually configure the NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector.
To manually install the Data Collector on a Linux primary server:
- Copy
/catalog/anb/ita_dc.tar.gzto a temporary location. - Extract the
