You can use the External Data Collector (EDC) to collect information from other product environments, and then merge the data into your CommCell. For more information, see External Data Connector - Overview.
Use this preinstallation checklist to prepare the computer where EDC will be installed and to gather all of the information you will need during the installation.
Verify System Requirements
Verify that the computer where you will install EDC satisfies the minimum requirements, based on your environment:
-
External Data Connector - System Requirements - Backup Exec
-
External Data Connector - System Requirements - EMC Networker
-
External Data Connector - System Requirements - NetBackup
-
External Data Connector - System Requirements - Tivoli Storage Manager
-
External Data Connector - System Requirements - Veeam
Verify License Requirements
Based on the licensing mechanism used in your CommCell environment, verify that the CommCell has the required licenses to use EDC. For information about licensing, see the Commvault Licensing Program Guide.
Determine the Installation Location
Install the software on a server hosting third party software, such as NetBackup Master Server, EMC Networker Server, Tivoli Storage Manager Server, and BackupExec Server, to merge all information about them into the CommServe database.
The computer will be added as a client in the CommCell as soon as the installation completes successfully.
Gather Installation Data
Refer to the items in this section to gather the information that you will need during the installation. Record the information before you begin installing the software, so you can refer to it during the installation.
