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:
- 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
- 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?
- 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.

Just to add some information:
- The DMZ server needs the CloudGateway, Orchestrator (and CloudFeed) DxM
- The DataMiner servers need the other DxMs.
- If you are on a recent version of DataMiner (some important DxM fixes are included since 10.3.12 FR/10.4.0 MR), those DxMs will be installed here by default. So you only need to manually install & configure the DMZ version of the cloud pack on the DMZ server.
- The cloud pack can be found here: https://aka.dataminer.services/cloud-pack-download
- The DMZ docs can be found here: https://aka.dataminer.services/cloud-connection-dmz
- If you are on a recent version of DataMiner (some important DxM fixes are included since 10.3.12 FR/10.4.0 MR), those DxMs will be installed here by default. So you only need to manually install & configure the DMZ version of the cloud pack on the DMZ server.
- 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.

Here I found a similar question with an answer to your question https://community.dataminer.services/question/dataminer-cloud-platform-dmz-setup
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!
