Add a Distributed/Mirror Server

  1. Install Historian server on the machine that you want to add as a distributed server.
  2. Add a system. The server that you specify while adding the system serves as the primary server for the system.
If you want to create a horizontally scalable Historian system, you must first add a primary server, and then add one or more distributed/mirror machines to scale out the primary server horizontally and thus, improve performance.
  1. Access Historian in Configuration Hub.
  2. In the NAVIGATION section, select Systems.
    A list of systems appears in the main section.
  3. Expand the system in which you want to add a distributed/mirror server.
    A list of servers in the system appears.
  4. Select .
    The Add Server Machine: <system name> window appears.
  5. Enter the host name or IP address of the machine that you want to add, and then select Add.
    The distributed server is added to the system. A distributed location is added in the server. You cannot modify or delete this location.
If you want high availability of one or more data stores in the server, create a mirror location, and then add the data stores. If not, add the data store to the distributed location.
