How to install Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics on-premise

Installing Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics in an on-premise environment is designed to be straightforward for IT teams within academic settings. Before you begin, ensure your hardware and software meet the standard prerequisites recommended by Veritas, including compatible server hardware, storage availability, and network connectivity to your NetBackup environment. Your ALP license key will be provisioned for activation within the product once the installation reaches the post-setup phase. The following high-level steps outline a typical deployment workflow:

• Verify prerequisites and system requirements. Confirm that your server meets the supported operating system, CPU, memory, disk, and network requirements as documented by Veritas for NetBackup IT Analytics. Ensure you have administrative access and a stable network path to your NetBackup infrastructure.
• Obtain and apply the license. Retrieve the On-Premise Subscription license key for 1 License and, if applicable, the ALP activation details. Activate the license within the IT Analytics console to unlock all features included with Storage Management Shared Services Edition and DR analytics.
• Prepare the on-premise environment. Provision storage targets compatible with NetBackup IT Analytics, configure networking, and establish necessary security controls. Ensure connectivity to the NetBackup data sources and redundancy for high availability.
• Install the IT Analytics components. Deploy the analytics server, data collectors, and any required connectors in the prescribed sequence. Follow Veritas installation guides to configure data sources, dashboards, alerts, and user access roles.
• Integrate with NetBackup. Connect IT Analytics to your NetBackup data streams to enable real-time and historical analytics. Validate data ingestion, verify dashboards populate correctly, and confirm that DR metrics align with your planned recovery objectives.
• Configure governance and access. Establish role-based access controls (RBAC), define user groups for departments or labs, and configure reporting permissions to maintain data security and privacy in a campus environment.
• Run validation and initial reporting. After activation, perform a health check of services, validate key dashboards (storage utilization, backup windows, DR readiness), and generate a baseline report to benchmark ongoing performance over the license period.
• Plan for ongoing maintenance. Schedule regular updates, backups of configuration, and routine DR drills to keep the analytics environment aligned with changing campus needs and storage growth.
