Monitoring Servers from OATS

Question

I am trying to monitor a Windows 2k3/Linux VM using OATS9.1.0. So I have few questions in this regard.
1) Do we need to install any OATS components on the Server which we want to Monitor?
2) Do we need to Open any ports on the Servers?
I tried adding a Win2k3 machine to Metrics Profile but i am getting error msg "error error creating data source client connection to t3://10.140.153.92:/7073"
I changed the ports to 9001 still the same error and while I tried 8088 I get Internal server stating No Collection Found. I replaced the plink.exe also.
I someone can provide detail explanation it would since I am new to this tool.
Thanks,
Hari.

Answer 1

I just replying to my own thread so that it will helpful for newbies like me.I just blew the VM and installed a new Win2k3 VM and I was able to monitor the system.
For Windows
1) Do we need to install any OATS components on the Server which we want to Monitor?
No.
2) Do we need to Open any ports on the Servers?
No.
Login to OLT-- clk ServerStas-Config Clk New and select DataSource Select PerMon(for Windows) and in the pop up give the Machine details and in the Data Collector give OLT server detail or Remote Data Collector(if u have one) Port 8088 , username as oats(default I think) and pwd as u have given during installation of OATS and Clk Next. Will take a while and then will display all the Perfmon counter and select which u want to collect.
I think we need to enable SNMP in OEL/Solaris so I willl check post the steps once I figure it out. In the meantime if someone has suggestion pls do post.
Thanks,
