Configuring a new DataMiner Agent as a new Agent in a Failover pair

If you are installing an Agent that will be paired with an existing Agent in a Failover setup, after the core DataMiner software has been installed (either via the DataMiner Installer v10.4 or by using a pre-installed VHD), instead of clicking Start to configure the DataMiner Agent automatically, follow the steps below:

  1. Make sure both the existing and new DMA are prepared and the necessary prerequisites are met, as detailed under Preparing the two DataMiner Agents.

    Important

    Do not start DataMiner on the newly installed DMA before this preparation is fully done.

  2. Start the DMA using the DataMiner Taskbar Utility.

  3. After a short while, a Request.lic file should appear in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder.

  4. Contact dataminer.licensing@skyline.be and provide them with the ID of the existing DMA and the Request.lic file.

    In your email, mention that it concerns a Failover Agent for an existing Agent.

  5. Wait until you receive either a dataminer.lic or response.lic file from Skyline.

  6. When you have the dataminer.lic or response.lic file, copy it to the C:\Skyline DataMiner\ folder.

  7. Restart the DMA using the DataMiner Taskbar Utility.

Once the new DMA is running, continue with the Failover configuration in Cube.
