Installing Historian Mirror Node
Before you begin
About this task
Install your Historian Mirror Primary Server before you install the Mirror node.
- After installing your Mirror, the Mirror node will not have a Configuration Manager or the Embedded Web Services. These are only included on the Primary node and are shared by Mirror nodes.
- The configuration setting of the mirror node should be the same as the primary node. This includes activating the same License Key on the mirror node as the primary node.
- Primary and secondary nodes should be in a domain. This setup will not work on the work group.
- Historian Global Security (strict client and collector authentication) should be disabled.
- If the primary node is down, new tags cannot be added using the secondary node because the Configuration Manager is down.
- Ensure that the mirror node has the same drive name as that of the primary node for the archive files, buffer files, and the log files.
For more information on how to configure a mirror node, refer to Historian Administrator Console.
