Adding a DataMiner Agent to a DataMiner System
The procedure to add a node to a DataMiner System can be different depending on the type of node and on the DMS setup:
In each case, the prerequisites below apply.
Prerequisites
General
When adding a DataMiner Agent to a DataMiner System, make sure that it is a new DataMiner Agent that has not yet been put into use. If you do want to add a previously used DataMiner Agent, make sure it has been fully cleaned via the Factory Reset Tool.
If you intend to add more than one DataMiner Agent:
- Add the Agents one at a time and wait until each Agent is synchronized with the cluster (indicated by an information event with parameter description "Synchronization finished") before adding another Agent.
- Make sure each Agent you add uses the same software version as the other Agents in the system.
Network
Before you add a DataMiner Agent, make sure the IP network ports are configured correctly and connection strings are configured if necessary.
If you are running a DataMiner version lower than 10.4.0 [CU16]/10.5.0 [CU4]/10.4.7, also make sure the machine where you are running Cube can access the new Agent over the IP that is used for adding it, even when connection strings are used.
Connection to dataminer.services
From DataMiner 10.6.2/10.7.0 onwards:
- When you add a DataMiner Agent that is connected to dataminer.services, the DataMiner System also has to be connected to dataminer.services.
- When you add a DataMiner Agent to a STaaS system, that Agent must be connected to dataminer.services.
