Setting up a new DMS in DataMiner Cube

Important

The procedure below does not apply to DataMiner as a Service (DaaS). DMS setup and configuration are handled automatically by Skyline. From DataMiner 10.4.0 [CU18]/10.5.0 [CU6]/10.5.9 onwards, the Agent cluster section on the Agents page in System Center is no longer available when you are using a DaaS System. Additionally, if there are any DaaS systems in the cluster to which you are connected, the Add and Remove buttons are disabled.

1. Add the master DMA to the DMS.

   1. Open DataMiner Cube on the primary DMA.

   2. Go to Apps > System Center > Agents.

   3. In the Manage tab, select the DataMiner Agent to which you are connected (it is marked by an icon with a small "1").

   4. In the pane on the right, next to Cluster, enter the name of the DMS, and then click Join cluster.

      Important

      Avoid starting the name of your DMS with a special character whose Base64 encoding begins with a number to prevent issues with NATS. For more details, see NATS not starting if DMS name contains special characters. You can verify if a special character begins with a number in Base64 format by using an online encoder. For example, "♣" translates to "4pmj".

2. Add the additional DataMiner Agents.

All DataMiner Agents that have been added to the DMS will start the initial data synchronization. Each DMA will sync with the first other DMA it comes across in DMS.xml.

When the DMS has been synchronized, you will be able to consult information about each of the Agents in the Status tab of the Agents page in System Center.

Note

Only use the Join cluster button when you set up the master DMA. When you add other DMAs, the cluster name will be set automatically.
