Appendix A
Configuring Historian Servers in High
Availability Mode
In this chapter you will learn about the following:
• High availability (HA) architecture (page 123).
• Working with server collectives (page 125).
• Creating server collectives (page 126).
• Verifying communication between server collective members
(page 128).
• Verifying replication of configuration changes in the primary
server (page 129).
• Assigning license activations to server collectives (page 131).
• Configuring interfaces and buffering services for Historian

NOTE
For detailed information on the high availability functionality,
refer to the FT Historian High Availability Administrator Guide.
You can configure high availability (HA) features on appropriate
Historian components. To ensure the high availability of
FactoryTalk Historian server data, you must configure three types of
components:
• A FactoryTalk Historian server collective
To implement HA, install two FactoryTalk Historian servers
and configure the FactoryTalk Historian SE system to store
and write identical data on each server. Together, this set of
servers, called a
FactoryTalk Historian server collective, acts as
