Historian Installation Limitations

  • You cannot close your current archive with a Historian Mirror Primary Server and Historian Mirror Node installation. This is because closing the current archive introduces archive synchronization risks in a mirrored environment. The restriction is enforced on all Historians, even those not using mirroring.
  • You cannot use size-based archives with a Historian Mirror Primary Server and Historian Mirror Node installation. This is because having archives of different sizes introduces archive synchronization risks in a mirrored environment. The restriction is enforced on all Historians, even those not using mirroring.
  • Running Historian Web Admin/Trend Client in a cluster setup is not supported.
  • When you install the Historian server, only Historian Administrator is installed (among all the clients). If you want to install other clients, use a client-specific installation and install Web-based Clients (the Web Admin console, Trend Client, REST APIs, and Configuration Hub).
