PlantPAx Servers and Workstations
Introduction
Use this manual to configure PlantPAx servers and workstations. The servers
and workstation are prepackaged hardware and software products based on
the PlantPAx characterized system elements. You should have already
completed the procedures in the PlantPAx Process Automation System Quick
Start, publication 7477-QS001.
You can also create image backups of the servers and workstations, as well as
order process-specific support.
Image Backup
A cloning utility resides on the VersaView Accessories CD which is shipped
with every VersaView Computer.
This cloning utility lets you create a back-up image of your computer’s hard
disk drive. If your system becomes unstable or corrupt, you can restore the
hard disk drive from the back-up image. There is no restriction on the number
of times you create or restore a back-up image.
When using the automated cloning utility, the active system partition of your
computer’s hard disk drive can back up to and restore from the recovery
partition. The active system partition runs the operating system. The recovery
partition stores a back-up image of the system. Each time you create a back-up
image in the recovery partition, the previously archived image is replaced. It is
recommended that the original image stored to the recovery partition remain
intact and all future images be saved to DVD format.
