How to set the project paths of the destination OS and standby OS

Introduction
Note
The procedure described in this section applies to the following servers:
● OS server
● Maintenance server
The description for the OS server is used here.
The OS servers of an OS server pair must be made known to each other. You do this by making
the following settings for the SIMATIC PC stations:
● For both OS servers: "Destination OS Computer"
● On the "master OS": OS name of the redundant OS server "Standby OS"
The destination OS computer is the Windows name of the PC in the Windows network to which
the server data (configuration data) for an OS server of an OS server pair was downloaded.
Master OS and standby OS mean the OS servers that make up an OS server pair.
Requirements
● The PCS 7 project is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● Two SIMATIC PC stations have been configured in HW Config as an OS server and OS
partner server.
Procedure
1. In the component view, select the OS that you want to specify as the master OS.
2. Select the menu command Edit > Object Properties.
The "Properties - [name of the OS]" dialog box opens.
3. Select the "Destination OS and Standby OS" tab.
4. Click the "Browse" button next to the "Path to destination OS computer" box and enter the
path to the MCP file of the destination OS.
The destination OS computer is the computer where the project is to run.
The mcp file is generated automatically when you create the OS.
Note
Enter the network path for the destination OS using UNC (Universal Naming Convention)
notation: \\Server name\Share name\Directory name
5. Select the OS that you want to use as the standby OS from the "Standby OS" list.
All of the standby operator stations that you have created in SIMATIC Manager are
displayed in this drop-down box.
