Adding a regular DataMiner Agent

Prerequisites

If the DataMiner System uses Dedicated clustered storage, make sure the new DMA is configured to use the same clustered storage as the DMS you are about to add it to (by modifying the general database settings in its DB.xml file to match those of the other DMAs and then restarting the DMA).
If the DataMiner System uses STaaS, additional steps are required. See Adding a DataMiner Agent to a DMS running STaaS.

The DataMiner Agent you add must use the same NATS solution as the DataMiner System. This means that if the DMS has been migrated to BrokerGateway, the DMA you add also needs to be migrated to BrokerGateway, but if the DMS still uses the SLNet-managed NATS solution, the DMA you add also has to use this solution.
If a manual configuration was forced for NATS with the NATSForceManualConfig option in MaintenanceSettings.xml, you will need to manually adjust your NATS configuration with the added DMA.

If the DataMiner System uses Swarming, make sure Swarming is enabled on the new DMA before you add it to the cluster.

On a DMA that is currently already in the cluster, go to the System Center module and select the Agents page.
In the Manage tab, below the list of DMAs in the cluster, click Add.
Enter the IP address of the DMA you want to add and click Add.

Do not use the Join cluster button to add a DMA to an existing DMS. This button should only be used during the initial setup of a DMS.
To add a Failover pair to a DataMiner System, first add the primary DMA as a regular DataMiner Agent, and then configure Failover. See Preparing the two DataMiner Agents.

To verify if your DataMiner cluster is working correctly, you can run the SLNet connections between the DataMiner Agents BPA test.
