Having installed ClearSCADA on a server and displayed the Server Configuration Tool, you are ready to begin the server configuration. The first stage of the server configuration is to define the type of system architecture to which the server belongs.
You can use the Server Configuration Tool’s Partners settings to configure the server so that it recognizes the structure of your system and can interact with any other servers. To do this, you should have an understanding of the various server architectures and server connection and monitoring features.
In the following sections, we describe the various server architectures, explain how the servers synchronize and interact with each other, and provide information on each of the server features that you can configure in the Partners settings:
- Server Label
- Lone Server Architecture
- Hot-Standby Pair Architecture
- Triple Standby Architecture
- Permanent Standby Servers
- De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) Permanent Standby Servers
- Dual Network Servers
- Configure the Partners Settings of a Server
- Synchronization Process for Multi-Server Architectures
- Main-Standby Changeovers
- Perform a Manual Changeover on a Multi-Server System
- Main-Main and Main-Main-Main Situations
- Test the Servers in a Multi-Server Architecture
- Frequently Asked Questions - Server Architecture.
NOTE: Multi-server systems (redundancy) are only supported by full versions of ClearSCADA. You can find information about the version you have installed by running ViewX and selecting Help>About.
