Implementing PI System High Availability
Learn how to plan and implement a highly available PI System.
|
Note: As of 4th August 2021 this course has been retired as its outcomes are covered in the more recent PI System Administration: Basics and PI System Administration: Beyond the Basics courses. If you purchased "Implementing PI System High Availability" after the 4th July 2021 and would like to be transferred to the new courses, please contact us at learning@osisoft.com.
|
In this course, you will learn about the topics surrounding the design and implementation of a highly available PI System. You will learn how to form a PI Collective and different options to configure highly available Asset Framework (AF). This course also covers the basics of installing a PI Interface, enabling the PI Buffer Subsystem, and configuring a PI Interface for Interface Failover.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Work with PI System utilities, including PI System Management Tools, PI Collective Manager, and the PI Interface Configuration Utility (PI ICU)
- Create a PI Data Archive collective from a standalone PI Data Archive
- Install PI Interfaces in UniInt failover with the PI Buffer Subsystem
- Design a highly available architecture for your PI AF Server and PI AF Services
Audience
This course is primarily suited for the professional who develops implementation plans for new Enterprise software applications. It is for someone who needs to understand the various parts of the PI System, resource requirements, and High Availability and redundancy options inherent in the PI System.
Level: Introductory
Study Time: 16 hours
Course Access: Unlimited access to all content except the Training Cloud Environment (TCE). You have 30 days access to the TCE starting on the day you access module section "Launch Cloud Environment".
