Configure the System Management Server

To configure the System Management Server

1. Start the Configurator. The Configurator screen is displayed.

   

2. In the left pane, select Common Platform > System Management Server.

3. Select This machine is the System Management Server. Review the notes on the screen before you start the configuration.

   Note: Only one System Management Server should be configured in your entire system. If other AVEVA products are installed, verify that a System Management Server has not already been configured elsewhere. Configuring more than one may result in communication disruptions.

4. Select Configure.

5. Select Yes for the Warning message after you confirm there is only one System Management Server in your entire system. If other AVEVA products are installed, make sure that a has not been configured elsewhere before proceeding as communication disruptions may occur.

   The System Management Server configurator verifies the configuration, and if any conflicting certificate or communications port binding is detected, the following Warning message is displayed.

   

6. Selecting No results in the following message being displayed in the Configuration Messages area, and the machine will not be connected to the System Management Server.

   

7. Selecting Yes replaces the binding. The Configurator will start configuring the System Management Server.

8. On successful configuration, the message Device configuration completed is displayed. The security code is displayed in the Configurator as shown below. It is recommended that you make a note of the security code because you will need to verify the security code when you add other machines to this System Management Server.

9. Select Details, to view more information about the certificate.

   

   If the configuration is unsuccessful, you can view details of the errors in the System Management Server.

10. Select Close to exit the Configurator.
