Page 2 of 41 Overview - SRM NAS Agent Topics Related Topics Introduction Supported Job Types for Data Collection Analysis Job Discovery Job Tree Level in SRM NAS Agent Configuration Considerations License Requirement Introduction The SRM NAS Agent gathers statistics on the network interfaces, system infrastructure, disk and file system assets (CIFS and NFS shares) of the NAS File Server (both NetApp and EMC Celerra are supported). Data collected by the SRM NAS Agent is summarized by many types of reports that may be further customized with user-selected filters and charts in the Report Manager. For the SRM NAS Agent, the agent software is installed in a proxy client. For more information on installing the proxy client, see Deployment - SRM NAS Agent. Once the installation is complete, the agent and the NAS file server information must be configured from the client level in the CommCell Console. For step-by-step instructions see, Add NAS Filer. Supported Job Types for Data Collection This agent supports two job types for data collection: Analysis Discovery Analysis Job This job collects detailed file-level statistics including information about file sizes, types, owners, extensions and create access and modification times. Data collections using the Analysis level job should be run during off-peak hours because they require processing that is CPU- and disk-intensive on the proxy Agent computer. Discovery Job This job collects basic information about about network interfaces, system infrastructure, disks, file system and share details, CIFS and NFS performance statistics, quotas, NetApp qtrees and snapshots, EMC quota trees, quota configurations and checkpoints for the file server. Data collections using the Discovery level job require minimal processing on the proxy Agent computer and may be run throughout the day. If you select a Discovery level Data Collection Job, you will not receive meaningful data in certain of the more extensive reports. See Reports - SRM NAS Agent for more information about which reports require Analysis level data collection. Tree Level in SRM NAS Agent When the SRM NAS Agent is installed, the following levels are automatically created in the CommCell

Page 4 of 41 Configuration Considerations Consider the following configuration requirements prior to using the SRM NAS Agent: The SRM NAS Agent functions as a proxy Agent and must be installed on a separate computer running one of the proxy Agent operating systems listed in System Requirements - SRM NAS Agent. The SRM NAS Agent, a proxy agent, cannot communicate with the NAS File Server across a firewall, so the agent and the NAS device must be on the same side of the firewall. In order to successfully start a migration archiving job, the NAS Filer name used in the SRM NAS Agent and in the subclient content path in the File Archiver Agent should exactly be the same (caseinsensitive) or resolve to the same IP address. Make sure that the subclient content path in the File Archiver Agent is not excluded from data collection. License Requirement To perform a data collection operation using this Agent, you need a SRM NAS Agent license, available in the SRM server. The license is consumed when this component is configured on the client computer. See License Administration for more details on license requirements. Back to Top

(This computer is referred to as the Client computer in this install procedure.) Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - SRM NAS Agent. The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the SRM NAS Agent. If you choose to install additional components simultaneously, refer to the appropriate procedures for installation requirements and steps specific to the component. te that when you install multiple components, the sequence of the install steps may vary. Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software: General Agents should be installed only after the CommServe and SRM Server has been installed in the CommCell. Also, keep in mind that the CommServe and SRM Server must be installed and running (on the same computer), before you can install the Agent. Close all applications and disable any programs that run automatically, including anti-virus, screen savers and operating system utilities. Some of the programs, including many anti-virus programs, may be running as a service. Stop and disable such services before you begin. You can re-enable them after the installation. Ensure there is an available license on the CommServe for the Agent. Verify that you have the software installation disc that is appropriate to the destination computer s operating system. Make sure that you have the latest software installation disc before you start to install the software. If you are not sure, contact your software provider. Firewall If the CommServe Server, MediaAgent and/or Clients communicate across two-way firewall(s):

Page 8 of 41 Ensure port 8400 is allowed connections through the firewall. In addition a range of bi-directional ports (consecutive or discrete) must also be allowed connections through the firewall. For information on configuring the range of ports, see Port Requirements for Two-way Firewall. If the CommServe Server, MediaAgent and/or Clients communicate across one-way firewall(s): Identify a range of outbound ports (consecutive or discrete) for use by the software. For information on configuring the range of ports, see Port Requirements for One-way Firewall. If the MediaAgent/Client communicates with the CommServe Server across a one-way firewall, you must add the MediaAgent/Client host name (or the IP address) in the CommServe computer before installing the necessary software on the MediaAgent/Client computer. Multi Instancing By utilizing the Multi Instancing feature, the same Agent and MediaAgent software can be installed on a computer multiple times, but not all components support Multi Instancing.

Select from the following: If this Client communicates with the CommServe Server and/or MediaAgent across a firewall, select, configure firewall services, and then click Next to continue. Proceed to the next Step. If firewall configuration is not required, click, do not configure firewall services and then click Next to continue. Proceed to the next section. NOTES Operating systems, such as Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, may have more than one profile present. When you select to configure firewall services, verify that firewall settings are not enabled in the profile(s). If the system detects firewall settings are present in the profile(s), you must select from the following: Disable firewall for ALL profiles: Employ caution when choosing this option; firewall settings will be disabled in all profiles. This requires a system reboot; installation automatically resumes after reboot., Firewall is not enabled: Select this option if your firewall settings allow communication with the CommServe computer. Click Back to configure firewall services. 11. Click the Specify list of machine across the firewall option and then specify the list of hosts separated from this computer by a firewall. Make sure you correctly describe whether the firewall allows two-way communication (but on a limited range of ports), or one-way communication (with either only remote host being able to make connections to this computer, or vice versa). For all one-way firewalls allowing incoming connections and those one-way firewalls allowing outgoing connections without additional port filtering, skip this step. Click Next to continue. NOTES Consider the following:

Page 12 of 41 On the CommServe Server, this list should include all the MediaAgents and Clients that are on the other side of the firewall. On the MediaAgents/Clients this should include the CommServe computer, and any other Clients/MediaAgents on the other side of the firewall with which communications will be established. For each machine on the other side of the firewall that you want to configure, choose the type of firewall configuration based on the firewall setup in your environment. Choose from the following options: Click on 2-way firewall if you can open certain ports as bi-directional ports. Click 1-way firewall; host is reachable from this machine on the machine that is on the secure side of the firewall. Click 1-way firewall; host is NOT reachable from this machine on the machine that is on the public / DMZ side of the firewall. If you wish to communicate with computers in a clustered environment, ensure that you add the Host Name/IP Address of all physical nodes in the cluster (even if no CommCell components are installed) and all the virtual nodes in which CommCell components are installed. Type the host name or the IP address and the GxCVD port number of the host name, and click Add to place it in the Host Name/IP Address List. 12. Click the Specify list of restricted open ports option and then specify the port range. Add the starting and ending port range and then click Add to place it in the Open Port List. Repeat as needed. If firewall separating this computer from others allows incoming connections, but these connections can be made only on a limited set of ports, then configure the appropriate port range here. For all other scenarios, skip this step. te that if you do not specify hostname(s) as well as port number(s), then the firewall services will not be configured. NOTES Typically in a two-way firewall, the open ports must be indicated for all computers. In a oneway firewall, the ports must be specified on computers in the open side, if they are open in a restricted way. te that the port ranges are not required for computers that are fully closed in the one-way firewall. For example, laptops which are configured as clients in the Workstation Backup Agent.

Page 13 of 41 In a clustered environment, make sure the firewall ports specified here are open for communication on all the physical nodes as well as the virtual nodes. Click Next to continue. 13. If desired, modify the Keep Alive interval. Click Next to continue. 14.

Setup displays the successfully installed components. NOTES The Setup Complete message displayed on your screen will reflect the components you installed, and may look different from the example shown. If you install an Agent with the CommCell Console open, you need to refresh the CommCell Console (F5) to see the new Agents. If Reboot w button is displayed make sure to reboot the computer before performing any other operations from the computer. Click Finish to close the install program. The installation is now complete. Post-Install Considerations General

Page 18 of 41 Install post-release updates or Service Packs that may have been released after the release of the software. If you are installing a Service Pack, verify and ensure that it is the same version as the one installed in the CommServe Server. Alternatively, you can enable Automatic Updates for quick and easy installation of updates in the CommCell component. Agent Specific After installing the SRM NAS Agent, you need to add a SRM NAS Filer that has the required data. For step-by-step instructions, see Add NAS Filer. If you configure the same NAS filer multiple times, with different names, SRM will treat them as separate filers, as long as the names are resolvable Valid CIFS credentials are required for data archiving.

Page 19 of 41 Data Collection Topics How To Troubleshoot Related Topics Overview Scheduling Data Collection jobs Considerations Best Practices Overview After installing the SRM Server, the SRM Agent software must be installed on your selected client computers before you can collect data from them. When data collection is performed, this information populates the SQL database on the SRM Server's repository with current statistics, for the purpose of generating summaries and reports. When you configure data collection for a client, from the SRM node you have the options of choosing which Agent(s) to use (if more than one is available on the client), the type of data collection to be performed (determined by selecting either an Analysis or Discovery Job Type), a Schedule Policy, and a start date. You can exclude volumes and directories from the data collection process for Subclients filters. You can also balance the collection load across different subclients, each with a different schedule policy. Data collection jobs run automatically according to the parameters you have selected, and will appear in the Job Controller as a scheduled job. The system can also be configured to generate advisories, a brief text message describing an actual or potential problem and the suggested corrective action. Reports and SRM Summaries viewed through the console are generated from the data collected and stored on the SRM Server. Schedule your first reports to run after your first data collection jobs have completed. te that data collection and Report Generation jobs are scheduled independently, at different times and intervals. Thus, you can, for example, collect data nightly, hourly, or on-demand, but generate reports only once per week if desired. For more information about summaries, see SRM Summaries. For more information about running and viewing reports, see Reports. Scheduling Data Collection jobs Data Collection jobs can be scheduled to regularly collect data at specified intervals. Data Collection jobs can be scheduled from the SRM agent level in the CommCell Browser. In addition, Analysis Data Collection jobs can be scheduled for the individual subclients at the subclient level. When the Data Collection job is scheduled the job will be displayed in the Job Controller. After the successful completion of the Data Collection job, the client information is gathered at the SRM Server and the job status is shown as completed in the Job Controller. For more information on scheduling, see Scheduling. For stepby-step instructions on scheduling a Data Collection job see Run/Schedule Data Collection. Considerations Data Collection is not performed for mounted network drives, volumes, or directories. If you want to collect data for network file systems, install the appropriate SRM Agent on the local computer for those file systems. SRM Exchange Agent based Analysis Data Collection job will report storage groups only if the storage groups are mounted. For NAS Data Collection, all CIFS and NFS content will be included as content in the default subclient, unless some or all of it is specifically listed as content in a user-defined subclient. For NAS Data Collection, if subclient SubB is child of subclient SubA meaning that SubB's paths are

Page 20 of 41 contained in paths of SubA, then when collecting SubA none of the contained paths of SubB will be collected. Instead they will be collected by Data Collection of SubB. For UNIX file systems, all mount points (comprised of a logical volume or partition) will be included as content in the default subclient, unless they are specifically listed as content in a user-defined subclient. Consider this example: You have created a subclient named sub1. You have defined a directory named /mount_points as contents for sub1. Within /mount_points there are three mount points, mnt1, mnt2, and mnt3. Data will not be collected on those three mount points as part of sub1; instead, they are part of the content of the default subclient. To collect data on those mount points as part of sub1, you must specify each mount point, /mount_points/mnt1, /mount_points/mnt2, and /mount_points/mnt3, as content for sub1. If you would like to configure the SRM Exchange Agent for cross-domain mailbox access for data collection purposes, this can be accomplished by creating the AdServerList key in the registry. After adding, editing or removing a subclient, you must run an Analysis data collection job on all subclients associated with an agent for reports to reflect the changes. For the SRM Agent for SharePoint only - ensure that all necessary SharePoint services are running and that the configuration and content databases are online; otherwise, installation may appear successful, but a subsequent Data Collection will fail. Best Practices Oracle Consider the following configuration items before running data collection from the Oracle Agent: Verify that Oracle databases are in OPEN status before running a data collection job. Verify that the Oracle databases are running properly, and that there are no database-related memory issues. Verify that the shared_pool_size parameter in the init<sid>.ora file is set to the maximum valid value so that SQL queries can run successfully for data collection. Data collection by the appropriate file system SRM Agent must be scheduled to occur before data collection by the SRM Oracle Agent. SharePoint "Usage Analysis" must be enabled in SharePoint for SRM to collect data about hits, for those reports that include this information. Refer to Microsoft SharePoint documentation for information about enabling "Usage Analysis". Solaris Ensure that the NFS client specifies the soft option when mounting NFS shares, or else data collection for NFS data will hang whenever the NFS server is down or not accessible. Also, increase the value for the retrans and timeo options; this will compensate for the soft option limiting the number of retries that the client can attempt to access the NFS server. Windows File System Activating Data Classification will decrease the amount of time required to perform an Analysis level data collection job for the SRM Windows File System Agent. NAS Configure NAS filer (including NetApp vfiler, EMC Celerra CIFS Servers and Data Movers) with DNS server in a way that reverse DNS lookup (from NAS filer to SRM NAS proxy) is resolved. If that is not the case then CIFS connection or NFS mount from SRM NAS proxy to NAS filer will fail. Back to Top
