Dear Community,
I would like to update the name of my DataMiner cluster from the standard "DMS" value towards a customized name (example: "DMS_PREPROD" or "DMS_STAGING") This to better distinguish between the different clustered systems we have operating under the same customer.
Can you please provide instructions on how to perform this without having to completely rebuild the cluster? Is this a matter of editing the cluster name in DataMiner Cube - System Center - Agents? Or would it be better to stop all DMA's and modify the cluster name in the DMS.xml file on each Agent? Or .... ?
Thank you very much in advance for your support!
Hi Jeroen, the only way to update the cluster name, is like you suggest to:
- stop all DataMiner nodes in your cluster
- modify the dms.xml on every node (snippet below, and leave all other settings untouched)
<DMS>
...
<Cluster name="DMS_PREPROD" ... />
...
</DMS>
- restart all nodes
I did the module in the Online DoJo Training last week on Agents.
In there, you have the Hostname, which is fixed, but you should be able to name each agent name separately.
We name our different environments (prod, test, dev) on the Startup screen.
We also have access to each server cluster to make it easy to access each one.
