Removing a DataMiner Agent from a DataMiner System

Depending on whether the DataMiner Agent is part of a Failover pair or not, a different procedure must be used.

Note

If a manual configuration was forced for NATS with the NATSForceManualConfig option in MaintenanceSettings.xml, you will need to manually adjust your NATS configuration with the removed DMA.

Removing a DMA that is not part of a Failover pair

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

  2. In the list of DMAs in the Manage section, select the DMA you want to remove.

  3. Click the Remove button.

  4. In the confirmation box, click Yes.

  5. Stop the Agent you have removed.

    This DataMiner Agent should no longer be used, so you should decommission it.

  6. If your system is connected to dataminer.services, remove the corresponding node on dataminer.services:

    1. Open the Admin app and go to the DxMs page.

      This page shows an overview of all Agents or "nodes", with the option to remove a node from the system.

    2. Click the garbage can icon next to the Agent you have just removed and confirm.

  7. Restart DataMiner Cube to make sure the removed Agent is no longer displayed anywhere.

Removing a Failover DMA

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

  2. In the list of DMAs in the Manage section, select the DMA you want to remove.

  3. Click the Remove button.

  4. In the confirmation box, click Yes.

  5. Stop both Agents of the Failover pair.

  6. Open the DMS.xml file on both DMAs.

  7. Remove all <DMA /> and <Redirect /> tags in DMS.xml that contain IP addresses from the previous cluster, and save the file.

  8. Restart the DMA you want to keep.

    The other DMA should no longer be used and should be decommissioned.

  9. If your system is connected to dataminer.services, remove the corresponding node on dataminer.services:

    1. Open the Admin app and go to the DxMs page.

      This page shows an overview of all Agents or "nodes", with the option to remove a node from the system.

    2. Click the garbage can icon next to the Agent you have just removed and confirm.

  10. Restart DataMiner Cube to make sure the removed Agent is no longer displayed anywhere.
