Use this manual to configure PlantPAx servers and workstations. The servers
and workstation are prepackaged hardware and software products based on
the PlantPAx characterized system elements. You should have already
completed the procedures in the PlantPAx Process Automation System Quick
Start, publication 7477-QS001.
You can also create image backups of the servers and workstations, as well as
order process-specific support.

Image Backup
Publication 7477-UM001A-EN-E - August 2009 5
A cloning utility resides on the VersaView Accessories CD which is shipped
with every VersaView Computer.
This cloning utility lets you create a back-up image of your computer’s hard
disk drive. If your system becomes unstable or corrupt, you can restore the
hard disk drive from the back-up image. There is no restriction on the number
of times you create or restore a back-up image.
When using the automated cloning utility, the active system partition of your
computer’s hard disk drive can back up to and restore from the recovery
partition. The active system partition runs the operating system. The recovery
partition stores a back-up image of the system. Each time you create a back-up
image in the recovery partition, the previously archived image is replaced. It is
recommended that the original image stored to the recovery partition remain
intact and all future images be saved to DVD format.
Chapter 1 PlantPAx Servers and Workstations
Use the cloning utility to:
• Create, resize, or delete a recovery partition on the hard disk drive.
• Create a back-up of the active system image in the recovery partition of
the hard drive.
• Restore an archived system image from the recovery partition.
• Use the ghost utility to manually perform system operations to create a
bootable CD or DVD with a back-up image.
For information on using the cloning utility, see the Cloning Utility Technical
Data, publication 6000-TD001
. This publication is available on the desktop of
each PlantPAx computer in the folder named PlantPAx Documentation, as
well as via Literature Library.

Set Up FactoryTalk Directory Services
To set up FactoryTalk Directory services, complete these steps.
1. Choose Start>Programs>Rockwell Software>FactoryTalk
Tools>FactoryTalk Directory Configuration Wizard.
The FactoryTalk Directory Configuration Wizard may take a few
minutes to open.
2. Check the boxes to configure both the network directory and the local
directory and click Next.
It may take 30 seconds to process the request.
3. Enter the FactoryTalk Administration Console credentials (see below)
for the network directory configuration and click Next.
Username: administrator
Password: rockwell
It may take 30 seconds to process the request.
4. Enter the credentials for the local directory configuration and click
Next.
If in a Workgroup environment, enter the Windows credentials. These
are the credentials that were created during the Windows mini-setup.
If in a Domain environment, the credentials must include the computer
name in front of the proper Windows user name.
