Historian in a Cluster Environment

If the primary Historian node in the cluster experiences difficulties, Historian is automatically started on another node to take over. Server high availability is managed through Microsoft Cluster Service Manager.

Verify that all the prerequisites are installed.
Configure a failover cluster in the Windows server. See Installing Historian in a Cluster Environment.
