Hi Dojo,

I would like to connect a DMS to Cloud via DMZ, but I have some questions about steps on documentation Connecting to dataminer.services with a DMZ setup:

  1. At step 1, check requirements is mentioned. There it is detailed to check connection with different urls. So, Does DMS (each DMA) need internet connection to reach urls mentioned? I understood that DMZ propose is to avoid connection between DMS network and Internet
  2. At step 4, DxMs installation is talked. They are included on Cloud Pack as documentation shows. So, we need to install Cloud Pack on each DMA. Is that correct?
  3. At step 7, DxMs restarting in the DMZ is mentioned. How do we do the DxMs restarting?

Note that DMS has 10.3 CU6 version.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Daniel,

  1. Do all agents in the DMS need an internet connection?

    No, in the DMZ setup, only the agents in the DMZ need to have internet connectivity.

  2. Do we need to install the cloud pack on all agents?

    Yes

  3. How to restart the DxMs?

    On the different servers, open the windows task manager.
    In the task manager, navigate to the services tab page.
    Right-click the services that start with "DataMiner" and choose restart in the context menu.

    The minimum expected services are:
    - DataMiner CoreGateway
    - DataMiner FieldControl
    - DataMiner SupportAssistant
    - DataMiner ArtifactDeployer
    - DataMiner Orchestrator

Note that there could be more.

Thanks for your comments Ive. So, to clarify the point 2, do DMAs need the same cloud package as DMZ? And from DMZ side, does DMZ need any extra license to works? Or does it only need the Cloud package? I mean, no DataMiner license is needed, right?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

For your DMZ server, you should use the DMZ installation package.

https://community.dataminer.services/download/dataminer-cloud-pack-3-1-5-0-proxy-or-dmz-embedded-net6/

For the DataMiner servers, you can use the regular package:

https://community.dataminer.services/download/dataminer-cloud-pack-3-1-5-0-embedded-net6/

You don’t need to have dataminer installed on your DMZ server, so there is also no need for an extra server.

Just to add some information:

  • The DMZ server needs the CloudGateway, Orchestrator (and CloudFeed) DxM
  • The DataMiner servers need the other DxMs.
  • Make sure to open TCP port 5100 between all the servers internally, so in the firewalls (and in the internal network if needed). This port is used for communication between the DxMs, next to the NATS communication.

Thanks for the details Jordy. I would like to have more details about DMZ server. Are there any minimum requirements on the server? I’m talking in terms of computing resources, as RAM, disc, SO, etc.
Thanks!
