How to configure an OS server and its redundant OS partner server

Introduction
The following describes the individual steps involved in installing the OS server and its
redundant OS partner server.
The example below shows the redundant connection of the two OS servers of the server pair
to the plant bus (using two CP 1623 or CP 1613 communication processors, for example, per
server).
Requirements
● The PCS 7 project with a SIMATIC H station is open in SIMATIC Manager.
● The PCs have two communication processors each for connection to the plant bus.
● Each PC has a standard network adapter for connection to the terminal bus.
