Adding a regular DataMiner Agent

Tip

See also: Agents – Adding a DMA to a cluster

Important

• Before you add a DataMiner Agent, make sure the IP network ports are configured correctly. See Configuring the IP network ports.
• 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.

1. On a DMA that is currently already in the cluster, go to the System Center module and select the Agents page.

2. In the Manage tab, below the list of DMAs in the cluster, click Add.

3. Enter the IP address of the DMA you want to add and click Add.

Note

• 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.

Tip

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