Following the information in Dojo, I have prepared the setup for the Dataminer environment following this : https://community.dataminer.services/dataminer-compute-requirements/
I have 3 instances prepared and running, one based on Windows 2022 for DM agent, one based on Debian 11 with Cassandra DB and one based on Debian 11 with Elastic search.
The Dataminer installer as provided on the installation DVD (iso) does not allow me to install this in the above mentioned conficuration, but just allows me to install DM agent and a Cassandra DB in a single Windows environment.
How can I proceed with this ? Is there a different installer, or are there different instructions available?
Hi Marcel,
I believe you can proceed with installing DataMiner and Cassandra on your Windows OS. Once everything is completed, you need to go to db.xml file located in C:\Skyline DataMiner folder and change the Cassandra server from localhost to your debian instance under the <DBServer> tag. Ensure your cassandra service is stopped after everything is completed.
It is the same for elastic, you should configure from db.xml after the DMA is installed.
Marcel, given your feedback, I created the following ‘Feature Suggestion’ to support this use case in the DataMiner installer: https://community.dataminer.services/new-feature-suggestions/dataminer-installer-allow-installation-using-an-external-database/#

With all due respect but this information is still far from complete.
Please indicate in a detailed manner what exactly should be in db.xml.
Changing from localhost to my debian instance seems easy, but how about the local=true statement, should that be changed too?
And where can I find the Elastic search settings? They are not in db.xml
That would mean doing a Cassandra setup in Windows to begin with. Seems a workaround and not a solution unfortunately. I would like to create it like it should be from the beginning. And what about Elastic Search?
