Steps To Configure Failover Option One
To define a new logical name and configure the backup and primary grouping using the same names as
FIX 7.x, follow the steps below.
To configure failover option one:
1.
Click the Start button and point to Programs, and then Proficy HMI SCADA - iFIX, and click
System Configuration to open the SCU.
2.
On the Configure menu, click Local Startup. The Local Startup Definition dialog box appears.
3.
In the Logical Node Name field, enter a name. Be sure that this name is different than the
local node name.
4.
Leave the name in the Local Node Name field unchanged.
5.
Click OK.
6.
On the Configure menu, click Network. The Network Configuration dialog box appears.
7.
Select TCP/IP as the network type.
NOTE: The automatic failover option requires a TCP/IP network.
8.
In the Remote Node Name field, enter the logical node name from step 3.
9.
Click Add. The logical name appears in the Configured Remote Nodes list box.
10.
Select the node that you just added, and click Configure. The Remote Node Configuration
dialog box appears.
11.
Select the Enable Logical Node Names check box.
12.
In the Primary Node field, enter the primary node that you used in your FIX 7.x configuration.
13.
In the Backup Node field, enter the backup node that you used in your FIX 7.x configuration.
NOTE: If you do not remember the Primary or Backup names, refer to the Nodename.rpt file
that you created in the Generating a System Configuration Report section. This report lists
the node name and its partner node. The Primary and Backup names must be different than
the logical node name.
14.
Click OK.
15.
On the Configure menu, click SCADA. The SCADA Configuration dialog box appears.
16.
Enter the name of the SCADA server with which this node is paired. For the primary server,
this is the name of the backup node name that you used in FIX 7.x. For the backup server, this
is the name of the primary server. Refer to the names you entered in steps 12 and 13.
