configuring redundant server

[eMichx]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to configure redundant server without using the wizard to used it to create the configuration for the first server,
then using this configuration to create the second server.

I would like to know if it's enough to add event and data definitions in the config file (as $SERVER1:$SERVER2) or
if we need to import with ascci manager some internal datapoint (which ones?)

regards
Emmanuel

Hello,

for the configuration of a redundant server you have to add the config-entries for data and event containing both hosts and their redundant network connections (if a redundant network is used). The hostnames and IP-addresses have to be defined in the hosts-file of the operating system.
You also have to add the redundancy manager to the manager list in the progs file.

Thanks for you answers

Progs and config files are the only elements to be changed?
It's not necessary to import internal DP used for redundancy?

Hello,

there is no need to import datapoints for a redundant project.
If you want to use a redundant project in the end you should start engineering with a redundant configuration, even if the second server is not running.
