Alarm Cast Redundancy: Known Issues

Procedure

  1. Stop the CIMPLICITY project.
  2. Confirm that Alarm Cast is stopped.
  3. Add all new Alarm Cast modifications on the primary server.
  4. Copy the modifications over to the secondary server.
    Tip: You can manually enter the alarm into the Alarm Administrator or the Administrator tool; as long as you keep the modifications entered the same.

    Ping LOCALHOST resolution to ::1 (IPV6 TCP IP Protocol) breaks alarm cast:

    If the ping response of LOCALHOST is ::1, you are using IP6.

    Alarm Cast does not support the IP6 standard.

    Do the following.

  5. Disable the protocol on all network cards
  6. Remove the ???# ::1 LOCALHOST??? entry from the host file in windows.
  7. Add the line 127.0.0.1 LOCALHOST to the host file
  8. Reboot the server.
