What are the DB.xml configuration file best practices for clustering

101 views13th November 2025db.xml DMS clustering

Tarik Gacanovic [SLC] [DevOps Advocate]32 13th November 2025 0 Comments

Hi all!

Context: DMA was factory reset to be joined on DMS, after factory reset the DB.xml contains only Elastic which makes DMA inoperational (cannot connect via cube - error: "parameter null" - logs show pDB null) -need to fix DB.xml to proceed.

Question:
When wanting to join the new agent to the DMS is it okay/preferable/not okay/not important to have the same db.xml setup as the DMS you will be joining the DMA to?

Thanks!

Hi Tarik,

Please refer to Documentation: Adding a regular DataMiner Agent | DataMiner Docs and Adding a DataMiner Agent to a DMS running STaaS | DataMiner Docs.

In summary, both pages indicate that DB.xml of the agent joining the cluster must be edited to match the settings in DB.xml of agents in the cluster. This is a hard requirement, not just a recommendation.
