Adding a DataMiner Agent to a DMS running STaaS

Follow these steps below to connect a DMA to an existing DMS running STaaS:

  1. Ensure the DMA you are adding is online and empty.

  2. Disconnect the DMA you are adding from dataminer.services.

    To make sure the DMA is disconnected, follow the procedure on Permanently disconnecting from dataminer.services.

    Important

    Only disconnect the DMA you are adding, NOT the cluster you are adding it to.

  3. Make sure STaaS is not enabled in DB.xml for the DMA you are adding:

    1. Stop the DataMiner Agent.

    2. In the C:\Skyline DataMiner folder of the DMA, open the file DB.xml.

    3. Make sure that the Database tag with type="CloudStorage" has the active attribute set to false:

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
<DataBases xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/config/db">
   <DataBase active="false" local="true" search="true" cloud="true" type="CloudStorage"/>
</DataBases>

    4. Restart the DMA.

  4. Join the DMA to the cluster using the steps described under Adding a regular DataMiner Agent.

  5. Once the DMA has successfully joined the cluster, enable STaaS in DB.xml:

    1. Stop the DataMiner Agent.

    2. In the C:\Skyline DataMiner folder of the DMA, open the file DB.xml.

    3. Configure the Database tag with type="CloudStorage" as follows:

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
<DataBases xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/config/db">
   <DataBase active="true" local="true" search="true" cloud="true" type="CloudStorage"/>
</DataBases>

    4. Restart the DMA.

The DMA should now be connected to the DMS running STaaS.
