[Veritas-bu] VBR Setup Q's

Hello all,

(Hopefully there's a user or two out there who's using VBR instead of Aptare ;-)

Long story short, Symantec is trying to convince me to change my licensing scheme to a completely usage-based licensing model (some of you probably are doing this) instead of the current individual license purchase/support I have currently. Doesn't cost me anything to check it out, with the caveat they're forcing me to install and configure VBR, even though I have a fully functional Aptare server that could give them (likely) the exact data they need.

Anyways, VBR 6.6 looks like a beast, this user's guide is 617 pages long and honestly, for the once per year I'm going to run a report (if I go through with this), it ain't worth fully learning. Looking for some quick hits on how to set it up. I've got the VBR install done, and I've set it up pretty much as far as I can go without help. Here's what I've done:

1) Install VBR Server onto a Windows server.

2) Install VBR Agent onto the same Windows server.

3) Install RAC (Netbackup Remote Administration Console 6.5GA) onto the same Windows server.

4) Added the name of the VBR Server to the bp.conf on my master server (RedHat, 6.5.3.1) , confirmed the VBR server can run a "bpdbjobs -S <master_server>" successfully.

5) Added a data collector instance within the VBR Agent configuration.

I left the polling intervals at their defaults, and backups ran normally last night but no data was collected. Did I miss out on any key setup steps?

Cheers,

Jon
