45 Configuring QCS Systems Configure the Server redundancy The common/integrated HMI screen appears Configure the Server redundancy This section describes the additions that have been implemented in the RAE R61x to support the PMD Server redundancy. The instructions in this section apply to both the QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations in an Integrated QCS / PMD System. In a redundant scenario, when a Station connection to the primary server is lost (or the primary server fails), the Station attempts to connect to the backup server. Similarly, when the backup server stops running as primary, the Station tries to reconnect to the primary server. This switchover is done by using an auxiliary setup file. The auxiliary setup file contains the name of the server to connect to if the current connection is lost (or if the current server fails). P/N: Rev 03 10/17/

46 Configuring QCS Systems Two Station setup files are created automatically during the installation of the QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations. These two files are: RaeA.stn - which connects to Experion Server A (and has auxiliary setup file RaeB.stn) RaeB.stn - which connects to Experion Server B (and has auxiliary setup file RaeA.stn) When Station starts, it connects to PMD Server A (as configured in RaeA.stn). If PMD Server A fails (or the connection to PMD Server A is lost), Station then connects to PMD Server B (as configured in the auxiliary setup). In a redundant server scenario, ensure that the connection parameter in the Rae Control Panel points to the RaeA.stn file. Add the IP address and node names for the QCS Server and the redundant PMD Server pair to the hosts file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc on all the nodes. The node names for the Servers of the redundant PMD Server pair must be defined, as shown in igure 3 1.

When you launch RAE from the RAE Control Panel, multiple instances of Station is launched, and assigned to the specified monitors. The only restriction is that each LabVIEW-based QCS displays can appear only on one monitor at a time. If you attempt to navigate to the same LabVIEW-based QCS display on another monitor, the requested display appears on the active monitor but the monitor that was displaying this display navigates to the display that was previously on the active monitor. The displays on the two monitors appear to swap locations. However, when you navigate to view a HMI display in the monitors, same display is available in both the monitors. Login to each instance of Station (each monitor) independently. When logging into Station independently, be advised that the QCS software enforces the access rights of the last user to log into any instance of Station at this Operator Station. To properly shutdown the applications, exit each instance of Station and then click Shutdown RAE on the RAE Control Panel. P/N: Rev 03 10/17/14 3-7

56 Configuring Station Setup 3.4. Manually switch between Vertical and Horizontal navigation bars During the RAE software installation, the installer is prompted for the desired type of navigation bar, Horizontal (which is best for Standard Monitors) or Vertical (which is best for widescreen monitors). This configuration information is saved in the Station setup files (the RAE.stn files) in the folder: C:\ProgramData\Honeywell\Experion PKS\Client\Station If the user would like to change which navigation bar is used after the RAE installation, this can be done either by following the procedure in section 3.2 or the more manual procedure documented in this section.

71 5. Configuring Redundancy for Experion Server 5.1. Configuring Stations for Server redundancy for Integrated QCS/Experion PKS System The instruction in this section applies to both QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations in an Integrated QCS / Experion PKS System. When a redundant Experion server pair is used, the Experion Station application (running on each Operator Station and the QCS Server) first attempts to connect to the primary server, if this server is unavailable then the Station automatically attempts to connect to the secondary server. This switchover is accomplished using an auxiliary Station setup file. The auxiliary setup file contains the name of the backup server.. Two Station setup files are created automatically during the installation of the QCS Server and the Integrated Operator Stations. Following are the two files: RaeA.stn - which connects to the Experion PKS Server A (and has auxiliary setup file RaeB.stn) RaeB.stn - which connects to the Experion PKS Server B (and has auxiliary setup file RaeA.stn) P/N Rev 03 10/17/14 5-1

72 Configuring Redundancy for Experion Server When Station starts, it attempts to connect to Experion PKS Server A (as configured in RaeA.stn). If Experion PKS Server A fails (or the connection to Experion PKS Server A is lost), Station then connects to Experion PKS Server B (as configured in the auxiliary setup). In a redundant server scenario, ensure that the connection parameter in the RAE Control Panel points to RaeA.stn file. The IP addresses and node names of the QCS Server and the redundant Experion PKS Server pair should be included the Windows hosts file in \Windows\System32\drivers\etc. To add the IP address, perform the following steps: 1. Choose Start> All Programs>Accessories>Notepad. 2. Right-click and select Run as administrator to open the Notepad. 3. Click File>Open. 4. Browse to the location C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. 5. Select All files in Files of type. 6. Select hosts file and click Open. 7. Add the IP address and node name for the QCS Server and the redundant Experion PKS Server pair. The node name of the servers of the redundant Experion PKS Server pair must be in the following format: ExperionServerNameA ExperionServerNameA ExperionServerNameB ExperionServerNameB0 8.

73 Configuring Redundancy for Experion Server Configuring Stations for Server redundancy for Integrated QCS/Experion PKS System Configuring Stations for Faster Redundancy Failover (Optional) To avoid slow initial call up time of the QCS displays, the RAE installation modifies the files that are dependent on Experion Station. Due to these modifications, the time required to start the Experion Station is a little longer than normal.. This also increases the time required for Station failover). If a shorter failover time is more important than slow initial QCS display call up, perform the following steps: 1. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\honeywell\experion PKS\RAE\Bin\Utilities folder. 2. Right-click UseExperionhmiblank.bat, and select Run as administrator.

101 8. Experion PKS Configuration 8.1. Experion Configuration Steps The Experion configuration steps explained in this section are normally performed automatically by the RAE Install program unless the installer deselected the Perform Experion configurations for QCS option. If this option was deselected when RAE was installed, you can use the following procedure to manually configure the Experion server. If you have special requirements, you can setup the Experion server in some other way. NOTE The following section assumes a brand new Experion PKS system, and the configuration is done only on QCS-Only systems. Perform the following, if you chose to manually perform the Experion PKS setup: 1. If this is an Operator Station, go to the step In a server node open a Command Prompt window. 3. Set default to C:\Program Files (x86)\honeywell\experion PKS\client\qckbld (or the actual location of this qckbld folder if a different install folder was used). 4. Type hdwbld qcs0.hdw, and then press Enter. This configures the Operator Stations for this server node. This configures 10 static Stations and 10 rotary Stations, all using Operator Based Security. 5. Choose Start >All Programs > Honeywell Experion PKS > Server > Station to start the Experion Station.

Share the R410 folder with read only access (\Program Files (x86)\honeywell\experion PKS\client\system\R410) Share the Abstract folder with read only access (\Program Data\Honeywell\Experion PKS\client\abstract). 16. The RAE installation creates an environment variable MXExperionServerName. The initial value for this environment variable is the local system name. If the Experion PKS Server is running on a remote server, modify the MXExperionServerName environment variable to point to the Experion PKS Server name. 17. The RAE installation creates the system environment variable MxQCSNodeName. Verify that this specifies the node name of the QCS Server and modify this environment variable as required. NOTE Before running ExpandRaeStn.bat, create a backup folder in the location Programdata/Honeywell/ExperionPKS/client/Station called Station_Backup and copy all the existing station files (.stn) from the location Programdata/Honeywell/ExperionPKS/client/Station to the backup folder. 18. Run the bat file: \Program Files (x86)\honeywell\experion PKS\Client\Station\ExpandRaeStn.bat. This creates the RAE.stn file in the same folder. 19.

167 12. System and Users Setup Information A system may be configured as a Windows Workgroup or as a Windows Domain. The Workgroup model is typically used for smaller systems with fewer users and limited user security requirements. The Domain model is typically used for larger systems with more user accounts. Do not configure the system as a mix of Workgroup node and Domain nodes. When performing the installation, configure the computer for a workgroup. After the installation is complete, you can add the machine to a Windows Domain Domain Setup This section provides the procedure for setting up a domain controller and for using Experion MX nodes in a domain environment. Each domain has at least one server running as a Domain Controller. The Domain Controller is used to manage all security-related aspects between users and resources, centralizing security and administration. See Section 2 (Installing a Windows Domain Controller) of the in Experion Windows Domain and Workgroup Implementation Guide Release R410, p/n DOC-X148-en-410A for information on setting up the domain controller. This section covers: OS installation and configuration of the domain controller Active directory installation and configuration Honeywell domain controller package installation and configuration P/N Rev 03 10/17/

The domain user accounts created for use with QCS nodes must be made a member of certain user groups on the domain controller as mentioned below: QCSAdmin (Administrator level user accounts) - Must be made a member of Domain Users, DCS Administrators and Administrators group. Restricted Operator user accounts- Must be a member of Domain Users and Operators group. NOTE By default QCSAdmin and other administrator level domain user accounts are not given domain admin rights. Hence OS features which require domain admin rights are not accessible when logged on with these user accounts. To give domain administrator rights to a user, it must be made a member of Domain Admins group. Refer to Section of this guide - Configuring Remote Desktop Users for Thin Client use with QCS Server. For configuring RAE auto start on logon for restricted operator user accounts perform the following on the domain controller for each restricted operator user account: 1.

If you set up automatic logon, the computer always logs on with the same user name and password. NOTE Computers must be configured individually for auto-logon in a domain or workgroup. Automatic logon can be useful in a Plant environment but you must use it with a very restrictive user account. It should not be used with user accounts with administrative privileges. If you set up automatic logon for a computer, to log on as an Administrator, you need to press the Shift key to prevent automatic logon. After following the procedures for automatic logon, automatic logon is set the first time after any restart. To get the computer to automatic logon after each restart and each logoff, you must set the registry value of ForceAutoLogon = 1 in the same key Setting up automatic logon in a domain NOTE Editing Windows registry can cause serious problems, if modified incorrectly. To recover from the problem, you might have to reinstall the operating system. As a best practice, ensure that you take a back up of the Windows registry before making any changes. This mechanism of changing the password is a security risk since a clear text password would be visible in the registry entry. To set up an automatic logon in a domain, edit the following registry entries. 1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ 2.
