Data Collector Installation
This chapter includes the instructions for installing the Data Collector on the Data
Collector Server.
Installing the Data Collector
Follow the steps in the following sections to install the Data Collector on the Data
Collector Server. The particular sequence of instructions depends on your environment.
The majority of installations are initiated from the Data Collector Installation CD,
however, if you are installing remotely or your Portal is being HOSTED by a service
provider, you may need to download the Data Collector software via the Internet.
In addition to the GUI version, the installer supports a console (command line) interface
for UNIX systems that do not have X-Windows installed. You will be directed to the
console interface instructions, if appropriate.
Note: Log in as a Local Administrator in order to have the necessary permissions for this
installation.
