Reduntant Congiguration in 800xA

We have installed primary server and also we have installed the base software in secondary server
To make both the server as redundant,we have opened the system configuration console and searched the secondary server,but we could not able to see the secondary server.

Hi!

A piece of info lacking here is system version?
Normally in version 6, you perform pre-installation activities (Windows preparation, NIC configuration, adding the domain etc).
Then you run the Node Preparation (install 800xA media), I guess this is were you are...

All this is described in the Installation, Update and Upgrade Getting Started manual (2PAA111708).

If this is done correctly, it should be possible from the primary aspect server, to perform "Add Node" from the SCC's System Nodes Tab.

Regards

Ping between the servers? Can you see the second server from the first one in File Explorer -> Network.
Do you have the same Windows Server on both? Pre-installation activities as advised by BEAB?
Better to detect the second server automatically, but you can type it's name manually

OK, System requirements? Correct versions? Network settings? (Test w ping), Virtualization?
If you followed the procedure, I guess contact your support channel is the best option.

As suggested by kstoilov , if the node not detected automatically type node name manually & add it./ similiar issue i have faced with 6.1 while adding new OS. I have typed the OS name manually & added it. The communication become s ok.. make sure the server image backup before addding manually, incase fails you can reload the image backup for further..

The discovery process in SCC>Configure System>Add Node is different than what the traditional Configuration Wizard (that more or less uses NETBIOS, i.e. what you see in Network Neighborhood or NET VIEW command in DOS).

In SCC>Configure System>Add Node the SCC is using a Microsoft Windows discovery API and searching for System Installer Agent services running on the SAME domain/workgroup. The MS discovery is dependent on a few MS services that should be running by default.

Adding the name manually should be OK.

Don't hesitate to file a support case with your regional ABB support center.

Fully agree with Stefan. After activated some microsoft services, it worked. You can check that if you see your node in network of file explorer
