The replicate operation copies the primary server’s configuration files, including settings
in the Components tab, to the secondary server.
For example, if an On Active and a Shutdown macro are selected for the primary server,
the settings will be replicated to the secondary. This means that the same macros specified
for the primary server will run when the secondary server becomes active or shuts down.
Information that is not included in the replicate operation includes datalog files generated
at run time, the current value of HMI memory tags, retentive tags, and the HMI tag alarm
suppressed list.
For replication to succeed, the primary server must remain active and the secondary server
must remain on standby, for the duration of the replicate operation.
To confirm the status of the primary and secondary servers
On Server #1, in FactoryTalk View Studio, right-click the HMI server, and then click
Server Status. In the Server Status dialog box:
The computer name and status of the primary server are displayed in the fields,
Primary server and Primary status, respectively.
The computer name and status of the secondary server are displayed in the fields,
Secondary server and Secondary status, respectively.
To replicate primary server files to the secondary
1. On Server #1, in FactoryTalk View Studio, right-click the HMI server, and then click
Properties.
2. In the Redundancy tab, click Replicate Primary to Secondary.
Follow the instructions on screen. After the replicate operation is complete, the
secondary server is restarted automatically.
Step 13 – Restart the entire upgraded application
The final step in the upgrade process is to restart the entire system. Perform these tasks:
The Replicate Primary to Secondary button is available only if the primary server is active
when the Redundancy tab is selected.
