Supported File Servers

GE supports using a file server to store System Configuration Utility, alarm area database, security, historical, and recipe data files and file server-based iClients. iFIX does not require a file server.

Refer to your file server documentation for installation and configuration instructions.

If a file server becomes unavailable and an iFIX node attempts to access a file, you may experience no response, slow response, or time-outs. These conditions are a result of continuously polling all available drives while it waits for a response from the file server. It is recommended that you store a backup copy of the files you need on the local node. It is not recommended that you use the file server for files if it is susceptible to failure.
