Considerations to install Data Collector on non-English systems
This section describes the prerequisites of NetBackup IT Analytics Data Collector installation on a non-English Windows or a non-English Linux host. Apart from English, Data Collector installation is supported in the following locales, provided the Data Collector host system locale is set to any one of these languages:
Simplified Chinese
French
Korean
Japanese
After you have set one of the above as system locale, the installation progress and responses appear in the preferred locale. If the system locale is set to any other non-supported locale, the installation progress and responses appear in English.
The OS-specific requirements mentioned below.
On a non-English Linux host:
The user locale can be one of the non-English supported locales if the Data Collector will collect only from a Veritas product.
The user locale must be English if the Data Collector will be used to collect from any non-Veritas product.
To install the Data Collector in one of the supported locales, verify whether the host OS has multiple languages and then add the preferred locale for the installation. The procedure below guides you to set one of the supported languages as the system locale.
To set one of the supported languages as the system locale for Data Collector installation, set the preferred language as described below:
- Check the current language.
#locale
- Check whether your system has multiple languages:
#locale -a
- To change the System locale into one of the supported languages, run the command #vi /etc/profile and add the following at the end of the file based on your preferred language:
To add Simplified Chinese:
export LANG=zh_CN.utf8 export LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8
To add French:
export LANG=fr_FR.utf8 export LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8
To add Korean
export LANG=ko_KR.utf8 export LC_ALL=ko_KR.utf8
To add Japanese
export LANG=ja_JP.utf8 export LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8
- Reboot the host to set the desired system locale for the Data Collector installation.
Having completed setting the system locale, proceed with the Data Collector installation, with the appropriate user locale.
See Install Data Collector software on Linux.
Veritas recommends that the user locale to be set to English while installing the Data Collector on a non-English Windows host, be it for a Veritas or a non-Veritas product.
To verify the user locale and system locale respectively before the Data Collector installation, run the get-culture and get-winsystemlocale commands from PowerShell Windows. This way, you can decide which user locale to set for the Data Collector installation.
If you must run the Data Collector installer in one of the supported locales, ensure the Windows OS is installed in either Simplified Chinese, French, Korean, or Japanese. Avoid having Windows OS in English, installed with language pack and changing the locale later. The Data Collector installer detects the locale from the Windows Language Settings and launches the installer in the respective locale. If the Windows Time & Language Setting is set to a language other than Simplified Chinese, French, Korean, or Japanese, the installer is launched in English.
