NetBackup IT Analytics Certified Configuration Guide

Last Published: 2024-09-04

Product(s): NetBackup IT Analytics (11.3)

Supported systems and access requirements

Capacity Manager currently supports the storage management products and storage arrays listed below. In general, any storage array that the device manager or command-line interface supports should work with Capacity Manager. For specific prerequisites and configuration requirements, see the specific Data Collector information.

Capacity Chargebacks can be configured for block storage only; file-based storage is not supported for Array Capacity Chargeback.

Data Collectors require the following privileges to access APIs and underlying details:

On Linux, root privileges for SSH
On Windows, administrator privileges for WMI.
