Getting started with Data Collector clustering
Install the Veritas NetBackup Data Collector on shared volume attached to the active node.
Refer to the Cohesity NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector Installation Guide on Linux for the general prerequisites for the deployment.
To install the Data Collector on VCS cluster environment, execute the below command on the node where the shared storage is mounted. Mount the ISO image that you downloaded.
mkdir /mnt/diska mount -o loop <itanalytics_datacollector_linux_xxxxx.iso> /mnt/diska
Substitute the name of the downloaded ISO image.
cd /
If you are planning to use only the NetBackup, NetBackup Appliance or the Backup Exec policies with the Data Collector, then start the installer as below:
/mnt/diska/dc_installer.sh -i <mountpoint of shared storage> -n -C vcs
In case you wanted to use all the policies that Data Collector supports, then start the installer as below:
/mnt/diska/dc_installer.sh -i <mountpoint of shared storage> -C vcs
The installer also places the required files on the remote cluster nodes using the passwordless SSH setup.
The installer will deploy the Data Collector binaries on the shared storage and create the required cluster configuration. Installer detects the block device configured with the mount point and use this information while creating cluster configuration. The Data Collector creates an online local firm group dependency with NetBackup service group. The installer also places the required files on the remote cluster nodes using the passwordless SSH setup.
The Data Collector refers the cluster configuration file <Mount point>/analyticscollector/mbs/conf/cluster_config.properties while creating the configuration.
The script <Mount point>/analyticscollector/mbs/bin/create_cluster_config.sh can be used to create a cluster configuration in case user needs to re-create a cluster configuration for the Data Collector. Similarly, <Mount point>/analyticscollector/mbs/bin/clean_cluster_config.sh can be used to clean up the cluster configuration in case the user needs to delete the cluster configuration for the Data Collector.
