Overview
Section 2 System 800xA Installation
Before proceeding with this chapter, make sure that all prerequisites required to
configure an 800xA System are completed, refer Appendix A, Prerequisites.
Overview
System 800xA installation includes the following:
•
•
•
System planning
Centralized and automated software installation and configuration
System deployment
The System 800xA 6.0 is installed with minimal user interaction. It automates the
installation and configuration (adding of Nodes, adding of System Functions and
allocating functions to nodes) of an existing 800xA System. The configuration of all
nodes in the system can be done from one place, except for the preparation of nodes
which is done at each node.
System Functions and Node Types
System Functions define the capability of the System. Functions allocated to the
nodes describe the intended functional behavior and use of a node. The selection of
the System Functions determines the functions available for allocation and deploy
of the nodes.
The Node Types determine the main use of an 800xA system node as a:
•
Server
•
Client
•
Combined client and server node
System 800xA supports optional redundant server configurations to increase the
uptime and eliminate loss of data. The switchover functionality is one of the key
2PAA111708-600 F
21
Node Preparation Tool
Section 2 System 800xA Installation
features of redundancy and parallel servers. If the service with which a client
application is communicating fails, or if the whole server node where the service is
running fails, the client node will connect to a redundant service on the redundant
server node. For more on node redundancy refer System 800xA 6.0 System Guide
Technical Data and Configuration (3BSE041434*).
Node Preparation Tool
The Node Preparation Tool (NPT) copies the installation files to the local drive on
the computer and installs the 800xA Base Software. Thus preparing the node for
deployment of an 800xA System.
System Configuration Console
The System Configuration Console (SCC) helps the user create and deploy a
System or expand an existing System 800xA 6.0 by using the following tasks:
22
•
Create a System task: creates a System on the Primary Aspect Server node
and making the node ready for a System deploy.
•
Configure System task: helps with the configuration and installation of the
system functions and the functions allocated to the nodes by:
–
Allocating the functions to the System and the nodes and clicking Apply
to save the configuration
–
Deploying individual or all nodes in a system via the Deploy or the
Deploy System button respectively
–
Expanding an existing System
–
Excluding a node
–
Replacing a node
–
Adding and/or removing a node
–
Importing and exporting of configurations. This saves information about
nodes, configured functions and so on to a text file that can be used for
configuring other systems
–
Updating the system
2PAA111708-600 F
Section 2 System 800xA Installation
–
Installation Process
Viewing the task logs and collecting diagnostics data from all system
nodes using the View task log and Diagnostics buttons respectively

Section 2 System 800xA Installation
Creating a system
Creating a system
The purpose of creating a system is to create a framework where functions can be
allocated to the System and the nodes. It allows to plan, deploy and configure a
system. A system is created using the System Configuration Console (SCC) on the
Primary Aspect Server.
Refer the System 800xA System Guide Functional Description (3BSE038018*) to
understand the node and/or system functions to be combined in a system. To know
more about the licensing information associated with the System refer the System
800xA 6.0 Licensing Information (2PAA111691*).
Selecting System Functions
Select the System functions that will be a part of the System using the Configure
System task in the SCC as shown in Figure 5. These System Functions will
determine the functionality in the system, the functions allocated to the nodes and
available for the configuration.
System Functions cannot be removed once they are deployed.
2PAA111708-600 F
27
Adding Nodes to the System
Section 2 System 800xA Installation

A function allocated to a node cannot be removed once the node is deployed.
Refer the System 800xA 6.0 System Guide Technical Data and Configuration
(3BSE041434*) to know and plan the number of nodes and the functions that can
be deployed.
Making Nodes Redundant
To make a node redundant, first select the node to be made redundant. Then use the
Make Redundant function and select the functions that should be made redundant.
If new functions are allocated to any of the nodes that have been made redundant.
Ensure that the new functions are made redundant as well, to achieve complete
node redundancy.

2PAA111708-600 F
Section 2 System 800xA Installation
Deploying the System
Deploying the System
Deploying a System involves deploying of allocated System functions and functions
to nodes which makes the System ready for Engineering and Configuration. Refer
System 800xA 6.0 Post Installation (2PAA111693*) to carry out any further
configuration of the system.
During deploy to minimize the licensing related warnings the Central Licensing
System function should be deployed first, followed by loading of the available
800xA license files.
The node where the SCC is run might be rebooted during deployment. Ensure to
login again with the same user credentials and accept the UAC prompt to
continue the deployment. If the UAC prompt is not acknowledged on time the
pop up will disappear and SCC will not be launched. In such cases, launch the
SCC from the ABB Start menu to continue the deploy.
The Configure System task supports exclusion of nodes at the time of deploy.

Considerations for Disks and File System
Appendix A Prerequisites
The supported operating systems, service packs, and hot fixes are listed in System
800xA 6.0, 5.1, 5.0, 4.x, 3.1 Third Party Software (3BUA000500). For security
updates refer System 800xA - Third Party Security Updates Validation Status
(3BSE041902). These documents can be found in ABB SolutionsBank.
The US English version of the operating system is required even if a translation
NLS package for System 800xA is used.
The following conditions affect the decision on which operating system to use:
•
Server roles can be allocated to nodes running either a workstation or server
operating system of Windows. Using workstation operating system helps in
keeping the cost down for smaller installations. Refer to the System 800xA 6.0
System Guide Technical Data and Configuration (3BSE041434*) for rules that
apply in selecting the type of Operating System.
•
There are limitations on number of nodes used in the system when using the
Workstation Operating System for Server nodes. These limitations depend on
Microsoft licensing rules for the Workstation Operating System. Refer to
System 800xA System Guide Technical Data and Configuration
(3BSE041434*) for the details on the limitations.
•
The Windows Operating System may be purchased from any Microsoft
reseller.
•
The nodes with pre-installed operating system shall be checked and configured
as per the system 800xA specifications.
Considerations for Disks and File System
There are several factors that may have an impact on 800xA System performance,
for example: where the software is installed, the tendency toward fragmentation.
The following are some recommendations regarding these factors:
Multiple Disks and Partitions
Some types of 800xA servers can use significant disk I/O. Creating partitions that
are hosted by different disks or disk arrays can improve performance for these
servers. Aspect Servers, Connectivity Servers, Information Management Servers
and Batch Servers can benefit from additional partitions when configuration data is
distributed over multiple partitions that are hosted by separate disks or disk arrays.
42
2PAA111708-600 F
Appendix A Prerequisites
Considerations for Disks and File System
At least two of these partitions are recommended for Information Management
Servers. See the System 800xA System Guide Technical Data and Configuration
(3BSE041434*) for specific details for Information Management and other server
types.
Installation Directory
It is generally recommended to use the Windows default location, the program files
directory on the boot disk, for installation.
A faster disk subsystem will improve performance.
Defragmenting Disks
The file system must be in a consistent state at all times. Size disks so they will be
25 percent empty for defragmentation purposes. Defragment disks on a regular basis
using the defragmentation software provided with the operating system. Check the
system for fragmented files and defragment them as required:
•
On all nodes where trend and history logs reside.
•
History Server disks and disks on the Connectivity Servers where trend or
history logs reside as History configuration impacts not only the History Server
disks.
•
Extensive use of the Bulk Configuration tool may cause associated disks to
become fragmented.
•
Configuration procedures that involve creating, deleting, and then recreating of
a large quantity of objects may cause associated disks to become fragmented.
•
Deleting and then creating the Aspect System may cause associated disks to
become fragmented.

the operateITData and operateITTemp folders. For best performance, the
additional partition should be on a separate disk or disk array from the
operating system.
There may be additional disk requirements for Applications Servers. If
installing the Information Management Server function on this node, at
least one additional NTFS partition is needed for storing historical data.
This partition can be the same as the operateITData and operateITTemp
partition or be a separate partition. The amount of disks, disk space, and
disk I/O needed for the Information Management node are dependent on
the final configuration for the node.
To maximize the performance for any server, any additional partitions
should be a separate disk or disk array from the root partition.

any other procedures in this instruction.
Configuring Network Adapters
If the Network Adapter supports Receive Side Scaling this feature must be
disabled. Refer to the Network Adapter documentation for information on how to
disable the feature.
Network adapters must be installed and configured to support communication on
the client/server network. This is required on the Domain Server node, and all
800xA System nodes. Typically one network adapter will be provided with the
server or workstation hardware. It may be necessary to install a second network
adapter for redundancy.
All network adapters may be installed and configured at the same time during
system installation; however, the network will not run with redundancy until
Redundant Network Routing Protocol (RNRP) is installed (refer to Product
Installation section for a separate Domain Server node).
If the network adapters are not plug-and-play devices, the installation must be done
manually. If the Windows installation does not include the drivers for the network
adapters the driver software must be installed before the network adapters can be
configured.
The 800xA System relies on TCP/IP as its transport protocol. It is strongly
recommended that TCP/IP is the only protocol in use. If other protocols need to
be installed, make sure that TCP/IP is configured as the primary protocol.

For an 800xA System installation to be used as a production 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 Active Directory Domain Services on First
Forest Root Domain Controller on page 50.
The following are general recommendations:
•
One 800xA System may share the same domain with other 800xA Systems
having the same system versions.
•
Generally, it is better to create a new, dedicated domain for an 800xA System
as opposed to reusing an old domain.
•
Do not create subdomains and avoid complex solutions.
•
Generally, it is not recommended to split two redundant Domain Controllers to
host engineering and production systems on two different locations (i.e.
network islands). Splitting two Domain Controllers will make one of the parts
incomplete since the Flexible Single Master Operations (FSMO) roles and
Global Catalog services are not redundant within Microsoft Windows.
Additional guidelines for setting up the 800xA System domain are provided in
System 800xA Network Configuration (3BSE034463*).
Before setting up a new domain, verify that the server hardware being used as the
Domain Server has the Server Operating System installed. The Workstation
Operating System can not be used for a Domain Controller or DNS server.

Configuring Users and Groups
This section describes how to create the Windows domain users and groups in the
Active Directory on the Domain Server node.
The prerequisites to configure Users and Groups in a Domain:
•
Before setting up Industrial IT users and user groups, verify that a domain has
been created by setting up a Domain Controller and DNS server as described in
Configuring Domain Controller and DNS Server on page 48.
•
This procedure requires being logged in as domain administrator. A default
domain administrator is created when the Domain Controller and domain is set
up as described in Configuring Domain Controller and DNS Server on page 48.
Refer to System 800xA Administration and Security (3BSE037410*) for detailed
descriptions of users, user groups, and user roles and permissions.

55
Configuring Users and Groups
Appendix A Prerequisites
Refer to Users, Groups, and Rights Assignments on page 60 for listings of
mandatory users and user groups for the 800xA System.
Since the 800xA System user credential concept is built on Windows domains,
local user accounts must never be created and used on the client nodes. Clients
will always connect to the 800xA System using domain accounts. The only
exception is Windows Workgroups where domains are not used. In these cases all
users and groups are local
For 800xA Systems in a Windows Workgroup all the users and groups shall be
created locally on each node with same user group name, user name and
password.
The following procedure is used to create various domain accounts to be used in
System 800xA. Create two domain accounts with administrator privileges.
The 800xA Service User will be reserved for use by the 800xA System Services.
This account will NOT be used for installation, administration, configuration, or any
other system related procedures.
The 800xA Installation account must be created to complete the 800xA System
software installation and post installation procedures. Create other user accounts for
other 800xA System activities such as Application Engineer, System Engineer, and
Operator.
Define separate accounts and different passwords for the 800xA Service User and
the 800xA installing User.

2PAA111708-600 F
Appendix A Prerequisites
Configuring Users and Groups
Domain Administrator users are powerful for administrative purposes but could
by this also be dangerous from a security perspective. For security reasons the
number of users in the Domain Administrator group should be kept to a
minimum.
The 800xA Service User and 800xA Installing User do not need to be members
of the Domain Administrators group. They both need to be members of the
Builtin Administrators group on the 800xA System nodes but not on the Domain
Controller, unless it is combined with an 800xA Server.
The 800xA Installing User could be a Domain Administrator but should be set to
passive after the installation of the System. The 800xA Service User should not
be a Domain Administrator and also not a local administrator on the Domain
Controller.
The various users and groups required by the 800xA System are described in
Table 3. All groups/users must reside on the 800xA System domain.
This setup may be performed by yourself, or the domain administrator may perform
the setup. In either case, use the guidelines in Table 3, and follow the step-by-step
procedures following Table 3.

Enable Write Caching on Hard Disks
To ensure Aspect Directory integrity, the write cache buffer flushing must be left
enabled in the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Depending on the
configuration, choice of driver, type of hard disks, etc, Windows may allow
disabling the write cache buffer flushing on the hard disks to improve performance.
For data integrity this otherwise performance increasing option must not be used.
System 800xA configuration and application data is stored in the Aspect Directory.
The Aspect Directory is transaction driven and enforces a two-phase-commit
scheme. As part of that scheme it ensures that data is written to disk prior to
considering the transaction complete. This behavior is used by several other thirdparty databases.
A flush command is used to ensure that data is written to the disk.It is possible to
configure the disk driver to neglect the flush command. This is normally configured
in the Windows disk drives setting.
A consequence of, for example, a power or hardware failure can be that a flushing is
not performed. Potentially the Aspect Directory can then become inconsistent and
the system will no longer start. Furthermore the data and applications become
impossible to recover.
Refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 234656 for more information.

Virus Scanning Configuration During Installation and Post Installation
The user should make sure that the installation procedure completes without
exposing the computers to malware or malicious network traffic of any sort.
This can only be done by limiting the communication to the system and by
performing separate virus scanning of any portable media or disks before
connecting them to the system nodes during the installation. After completing the
system installation and configuration (post installation) it is recommended to
perform a full virus scan of all computers in the system.
For better performance during 800xA installation and post installation procedures
disable virus scanning software. For virus scanners recommended by ABB for use
with System 800xA refer McAfee Integration on page 84 and Symantec on page 85.
