Section 3 New Domain Creation and Third Party Software Installation

3.1 Create a New Domain at Primary Domain Controller


This procedure is performed at the Domain Server, and is required for all 800xA Systems that
use domains.
For a real installation of an 800xA System, set up a new Domain Server with a domain
specifically for the 800xA System, that will exist independent of any other corporate domains that
may already exist. Follow the procedure in this section, starting at Domain Setup Procedure .
Systems used only for engineering and testing may be set up in a different way:
Set up a new Domain Server and domain specifically for the 800xA System, and
integrate that domain into the corporate domain structure. In this case it is only
necessary to consult the corporate domain administrator in order to integrate the 800xA
System domain into the corporate domain.
Create a new domain for the 800xA System on an existing Domain Server. In this case,
provide the domain administrator with the information in this section, and in Users and
Groups. The administrator will require this information to create the new domain and
add the new domain to the existing Domain Controller. The nodes may then be added
to that domain as described in Adding Nodes to a Domain.
Join the 800xA System nodes to an existing domain. In this case, provide the domain
administrator with the information in Users and Groups. The administrator can then
create the users and groups required by the 800xA System domain. The nodes may
then be added to that domain as described in Adding Nodes to a Domain.

3.1.1 Domain Setup Procedure


Perform this procedure at the computer that you have designated to be the Domain Server node.

Section 7 System Maintenance


This chapter describes the required maintenance procedures, for an Industrial IT 800xA System. We
distinguish between:

System Startup / Shutdown and Workplace Reboot (e.g. after a power failure, or unexpected
PC failure)
Periodic Maintenance, e.g. checking the Servers and Networks (time req. approx. 10 min.)
On Request Maintenance, e.g. backup if parts of the application have changed
Emergency Maintenance, e.g. if a non redundant, important component fails.

7.1 System Startup


Normally 800xA system is equipped with a fully redundant 800xA system. The minimum
requirements for a running system are:

1 out of 2 Aspect / Connectivity Servers (AS1 / CS1 or AS2 / CS2) running

7.1.1 Recommended System Startup Procedure


The following system start up sequence shall be followed after a complete or partial power down, for
detail procedures see chapter “Periodic Maintenance”:
1. Start Domain Server DC1 / DC2

2. Start AS1 / CS1, AS2 / CS2


3. Monitor the system start up with the ABB System Supervisor and/or the Task Manager.

4. When the ABB System Supervisor shows “System Status: Running” wait for a few minutes,
then a workplace on any of the servers (e.g. AS1) and select the System Supervision Display
to verify that all services are running. If at least 1oo2 Connectivity server and 1oo2 Aspect
Servers are running the clients can be started as well.

7.1.1 Recommended System Shut down Procedure


Under normal conditions the system will never be shut down completely, usually only one by one server
has to be rebooted to do maintenance etc. In the case a complete shut down is required, first bring the
plant into a safe condition, then stop the system in the following order.
1. Shut down all the clients.
2. Shut down the Aspect / Connectivity servers. e.g. AS1 / CS1
3. Shut down Domain servers

7.2 Backup of Aspect System


The Aspect System backup can be done with the backup tool of Operate IT. Use the AS1 to create a
backup and store it under the specific directory.
