5. In the Explorer window, right-click the data server (RSLinx Enterprise), and then

click Properties.

6. In the Redundancy tab, clear the check box, Provide redundancy using a

secondary server, and then click Apply.

Restart Server #1 and all client computers

To restart the deployed application, restart Server #1, wait for Server #1 to finish starting,
and then restart application client computers (Workstation #1 and all run-time clients).

To confirm that Server #1 has finished starting

1. Click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software > FactoryTalk Tools, and then

click Diagnostics Viewer.

2. In the FactoryTalk Diagnostics Viewer, check for the following Diagnostics message:

The HMI Server <ApplicationName>//Server #1 is the active server.

Step 4 – Upgrade software components on Server #2

Install FactoryTalk View SE

1. Close all open Windows programs.

2. Place the FactoryTalk View Installation DVD in the computer’s DVD drive.

The deployed application will run without redundancy with Server #1 as the active server, until
the software on all computers is upgraded. After the software is upgraded, Server #1 and Server
#2 can be restored to their original roles as primary and secondary servers, and the upgraded
application can be started.

To find a message faster in the Diagnostics Viewer, on the View menu, click Options. Then,
in the Filter tab, create a Message filter with one or more keywords from the message.
