Install Historian Distributed/Mirror Node at a Command Prompt
Before you begin
- Install the mirror primary server using the installer or the command line. Use the same configuration, license key, installation drive, UAA instance, and domain as the primary server.
- Disable global security (strict client and collector authentication).
- If you are changing the role of a Historian server that was previously a distributed node in any other configuration (single-server or mirror primary server), you must first uninstall Historian.
About this task
After you install Historian at a command prompt, you can choose to generate a template XML file, which contains the installation parameters and the values that you have provided. You can use this XML file for subsequent installations. Similarly, you can use a template XML file instead of providing command-line arguments.

What to do next
While installing the Historian server, if you have allowed the installer to create Historian security groups, create a local Windows user with the format <Web-based Clients server name>.admin, and add the user to the ihSecurityAdmins group.
This user will log in to Web-based Clients.
Alternatively, you can create UAA users in an external UAA and map their security groups. For information, refer to About UAA Groups.
Depending on whether the Historian server will use local or domain security groups, select the appropriate option in Historian Administrator.
