System requirements

The Information Map Agent collects the metadata from the NetBackup catalog and configured connections, and uploads it to the Information Fabric technology platform. This section lists the system requirements of the server that is designated as the Information Map Agent Server.

System requirements for Information Map Agent

  • The Agent Server can be a physical or a virtual server.

  • Windows 2012, 2012 R2, or Windows 2016. The operating system must be 64 bit.
