  • Hi ,
    Check out this section in the help:

    Basically you configure a pair of Servers for each process type (IO, Alarm, Trend and Report) such that if one machine is down, the other will take over the complete role. It is simply define primary or standby as the "Mode".
    The I/O Device redundancy is a bit more complicated, but basically you just create two I/O devices with the same number, with one Primary, the other Standby, also define a priority, with 1 for Primary and 2 for Standby. You define n-level redundancy at I/O Device level, but really just keep it simple and define one on the "Primary" I/O Server and the second one on the "Standby" I/O Server.

    Then simply run the computer setup Wizard on each machine (with the update project) and it will be fairly straight forward from there.
