I had an installation with a single user system. All I did to download the project from my laptop (ES) to the operator PC (OS) was to make a shared folder in the OS and download to file system from my PC to that directory. All was well until the project grew and the client requested to add a second redundant server. I am trying to figure how to do this setup. I do set in the runtime settings that the project is redundant and I also set the other server name.
How am I supposed to transfer the project to the two PCs? Regarding the setup of the redundant servers I looked into siemens application note 87054082 but it is not really hepful.
Regarding the download I fail to be able to hit the download button and get the project transfered to the OS. I remember I did it once but it was a nightmare setting up user and user rights and so on.
I tried to do this again by following the instructions of FAQ 88780011 but with no success. I managed to have a directory in the OS PC where I can have RW access from my lapto, however when I try to download I get an error in the compliler which says "THe target path in the operator station is invalid".
I also wanted some guidance to whether I need to use an XBD file for the PCs.
Note that the PCs are regular PCs and not Simatic iPCs
