Set up HMI server redundancy options
In the primary HMI server’s Properties dialog box, in the Redundancy tab, you can set up
an HMI server to fail over to a secondary server, when the primary server fails.
You can also specify whether the system will switch back to the primary server
automatically, or continue using the secondary server, after service is restored. Use this
option to avoid unnecessary disruptions in the flow of data from the HMI server to clients.
Settings in the Redundancy tab are saved with the application, and apply to both the
primary and the secondary server. No further setup or special programming is required on
the secondary server computer, or on computers hosting FactoryTalk View SE Clients.
To set up redundancy in the Properties dialog box
1. In FactoryTalk View Studio, in the Explorer window, right-click the HMI server’s
icon, and then select Properties.
2. Select the option, Load and run startup components when operating system initializes.
Servers set up to start On demand cannot be made redundant.
When changing the redundancy setting (from non-redundant to redundant or vice-versa), for
the changes to take effect you must restart the computers hosting the redundant pair, and
restart the computer hosting the FactoryTalk Network Directory Server
