Server Redundancy Configuration Procedures
The following procedures assume that you have completed a redundancy
installation as described in the Installation Guide.
Prerequisites for Configuring Server Redundancy
At this point you should have installed Windows and the PlantScape Server
software as described in the installation guide. Specifically, you should have:
• Set up the computer names for your primary and backup servers
Note It is important that you follow the correct server naming convention
for redundant server systems when you install Windows. See the
Installation Guide for details.
• Installed the network cards in the primary and backup servers
• Configured TCP/IP on the primary and backup servers and assigned a
TCP/IP address to each network card
• Installed PlantScape software on the primary and backup servers
Server Redundancy Configuration Steps
Configuring the primary and backup servers to run in redundant mode requires
the following steps:
1 Complete the TCP/IP configuration by configuring the primary and backup
server hosts files and testing the TCP/IP configuration of the servers (see
“Completing the TCP/IP Configuration of the Servers” on page 306).
2 Define the redundant connections (see “Defining the Redundant
Connections” on page 311).
3 Synchronize the date and time on the servers (see “Synchronizing Date and
Time on the Servers” on page 315).
4 Configure Station setup files for redundancy (see “Configuring Stations for
Server Redundancy” on page 317).
5 Synchronize the servers (see “Synchronizing the Server Databases” on
page 320).
