Configuring Alarm Server Redundancy

You can make your Alarm Server redundant in Workbench in Unified Redundancy. The Alarm Server cluster box with the currently used connection is created automatically. You can add the redundant connection in the cluster settings.

To configure Alarm Server redundancy:

1. Open Workbench and in Project Explorer, expand your project > Servers and Redundancy > Unified Redundancy and in the Unified Redundancy Graph panel, click the Alarm Server box heading. The System Settings dialog opens in the right panel.

2. In System Settings, select Redundancy Enabled. This adds another (Remote) connection to the Alarm Server cluster.

   

3. In Primary NetBIOS name, select or enter the NetBIOS name of the primary server, and then select Primary FrameWorX Connection.
4. In Secondary NetBIOS name, select or enter the NetBIOS name of the secondary server, and then select Secondary FrameWorX Connection.
5. Select Auto Fail-back to switch over to the primary connection as soon as it is available, and then click Apply.
