11. Repeat step 1
through step 10 for each alarm server in your application.
IMPORTANT
The alarm history database requires a separate SQL server installation. If there is no database selection available under
Alarm and Event History, a database must be created. Refer to the FactoryTalk Alarms and Events System Configuration
Guide, publication FTAE-RM001
.
IMPORTANT
We recommend that alarm server redundancy be configured at the end of the project after the majority of your HMI
application is developed.
