2 Introduction
2 Introduction
The latest version of this manual is available in myABB/My Control System.
This document reflects 800xA System and Functional Area software at the time
of release. All 800xA System and Functional Area Release Notes must be read
and understood before performing any upgrade procedures. The Release Notes
contain any last minute changes that must be performed when installing or
upgrading the 800xA System. All Release Notes can be found on the System
800xA media under the Release Notes folder.
Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) is not supported beginnig System 800xA
6.0. It is mandatory to migrate all VBPG to PG2 graphics before performing the
upgrade. Plan for the migration in advance. During Upgrade all the VB PG graphics
elements, VB PG graphic displays contents will be cleaned up. Also the standard
VB graphics and AC 800M Classic library system extensions installed in the
system are unregistered and deleted.
This user manual describes the procedure to upgrade from the last revision of 800xA
5.0 SP2 to 800xA 6.0 latest release, using the supported tools provided by the System
Installer.
The following are the different phases of a system upgrade:

2 Introduction 2.1 Virus Scanning Configuration During Inst
2.1 Virus Scanning Configuration During Installation

and Post Installation
The user should make sure that the installation procedure completes without
exposing the computers to malware or malicious network traffic of any sort.
This can only be done by limiting the communication to the system and by
performing separate virus scanning of any portable media or disks before
connecting them to the system nodes during the installation. After completing the
system installation and configuration (post installation) it is recommended to
perform a full virus scan of all computers in the system.
For better performance during 800xA installation and post installation procedures
disable virus scanning software. For virus scanners recommended by ABB for use
with System 800xA refer to McAfee Integration and Symantec sections in System
800xA Installation and Upgrade Getting Started (2PAA111708*).
2.2 Planning for the Upgrade

Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) is not supported beginnig System 800xA
6.0. It is mandatory to migrate all VBPG to PG2 graphics before performing the
upgrade. Plan for the migration in advance. During Upgrade all the VB PG graphics
elements, VB PG graphic displays contents will be cleaned up. Also the standard
VB graphics and AC 800M Classic library system extensions installed in the
system are unregistered and deleted.
Planning for the upgrade can save time and resources. The instruction in this user
manual are presented in sequential order; however, depending on the plant performing
the upgrade, some of the actions can be performed in advance or in parallel. For
example, the upgrade flows are written to reflect upgrading and using existing servers
and clients. If new servers and clients are being used, prepare those before beginning
the upgrade (load and configure the Windows Operating System, third party software,
and so on.), or while performing the pre-upgrade procedures.
For third party software prerequisites, refer to System 800xA Third Party Software
(3BUA000500). This document is accessible from myABB/My Control System.
The prerequisites depend on the system and node functions installed in the system.
For more details on supported operating systems and prerequisites, refer to Prerequisite
Section of System 800xA Installation and Upgrade Getting Started (2PAA111708*).
18 2PAA111695-600 G
2 Introduction 2.2 Planning for the Upgrade
The hardware specifications such as the memory size and the processor speed will
determine the system performance after a system upgrade. Refer to Certified products
for use with ABB System 800xA for a list of verified hardware.
1. 800xA Licensing: The license model enforces licensing for the 800xA Hardware
components including controllers and Communication Interfaces have changed
beginning with 800xA Version 6.0. Each installed 800xA Hardware component
requires a separate Hardware license.
ABB requires data from the existing system in order to generate the Hardware
license for each Hardware component. The data is collected by running the ABB
Control Hardware Report Tool (2PAA114472*) in the existing system before
upgrade. This tool is available in myABB/My Control System.
Refer to System 800xA Licensing Information (2PAA111691*) for information
on the Control Hardware Report Tool.
Order the 800xA licenses required for the latest system version to which its
intended to upgrade. The licenses from the previous system versions will not work.
The following considerations may vary depending on the system version being
upgraded and if the upgrade will be performed online or offline.
Concurrent access to the current 800xA System version and the 800xA 6.0 system
is recommended until the upgrade has been performed. This makes it possible
to easily retrieve any data or files that have been missed. Concurrent access
depends upon many different factors, including:
• Configuration of the existing system.
• Desired configuration of the 800xA 6.0 system.
• Server and client use strategy.
• Configuration of user and user groups.
• Use of service accounts.
• Domain controllers.
• Redundancy.
• Logical and physical networks.
One strategy is to leave a minimal part of the existing system intact, such
as an Aspect Server, while preparing a major part of the 800xA 6.0 System.
Another strategy is to prepare a minimal 800xA 6.0 System.
2PAA111695-600 G 19
2 Introduction 2.3 Supported Operating Systems
Retaining an Aspect Server from the existing system minimizes the time it
takes to retrieve data or files from it. A disk drive image provides a quick
way to recover, but often it requires no hardware upgrade. Try to delay the
upgrade of the hardware in one Aspect Server as long as possible.
It is highly recommended to retain the Aspect Directory node after taking the
maintenance backup on the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System. This will not only act as a
reference node post-upgrade, but will also ensure that the changes made to the
aspects created by the System Extensions can be reapplied in the new system, if
lost during an upgrade.
If it is not necessary to do the complete upgrade in one process, it may be
possible to perform the upgrade in steps by stopping selected system functions
or by stopping some parts of the plant, or a combination of the two.
2. Identify the device types used in the system. The latest version of the Device
Libraries are required during the upgrade. These files will be made available on
the System 800xA Installation media. Check for newer versions of the Device
Libraries in myABB/My Control System.
2.3 Supported Operating Systems

System 800xA runs only on 64-bit (x64) operating systems beginning System 800xA
6.0.
The supported operating systems, service packs, and hot fixes are listed in System
800xA Third Party Software (3BUA000500). This document can be found in
myABB/My Control System.
Server Operating System and Workstation Operating System will be used
throughout the remainder of this document.
The US English version of the operating system is required even if a translation NLS
package for System 800xA is used.
For more details on supported operating systems and prerequisites, refer to Prerequisite
Section of System 800xA Installation and Upgrade Getting Started (2PAA111708*).
2.4 Precautions
There are third party backup/restore and disk imaging utilities that are useful when
software or data becomes corrupted to the point that the node will no longer function
20 2PAA111695-600 G
2 Introduction 2.5 System Language Package
correctly. A limited number of hardware failures can also be compensated for by

using these utilities. However, it is important to understand the limitations and
ramifications associated with these utilities. In some cases (such as corrupted data,
corrupted software, or hard disk failures) these utilities can be useful while in other
cases (such as replacing a node) these utilities may be of limited use.
It is recommended that a third party backup/restore and/or disk imaging utility be
used to save (and restore if necessary) an image of node hard disks after installation
of third party software and/or after installing all software.
The 800xA System import/export utility can be used to save 800xA System
information one portion at a time. However, the 800xA System backup utility is the
functional equivalent of exporting all 800xA System information at one time. The
critical difference between these utilities is that individually exported portions of
800xA System information can be imported back into the original system or into a
completely different system while backed up 800xA System information can only be
used to restore a specific system on specific nodes. The 800xA System allows for
scheduled 800xA System backups. Refer to System 800xA Maintenance
(3BSE046784*) for information on performing precautionary scheduled 800xA System
backups.
2.5 System Language Package

The 800xA System includes support for the default language, which is US English.
Translations of the operator interface (System 800xA Language Packages) are released
separately after the main release of the 800xA System. Upgrade of a system including
a Language Package requires an upgrade of the Language Package when it is released.
Refer to the Language Package release notes for information on upgrading a Language
Package to System 800xA 6.0.
2.6 Footprint Reduction during Upgrade

System 800xA makes better use of hadware than older system versions beginning
System 800xA Version 6.0. The hardware footprint reduction is acheived by
combinning multiple node functions on a single node. The movement of node functions
can be acheived during the upgrade process. Refer to Appendix H for performing
footprint reduction during upgrade.
2PAA111695-600 G 21
2 Introduction 2.7 Online Upgrade
2.7 Online Upgrade

Online Upgrade makes it possible to upgrade an existing 800xA System without a
process shutdown. Plant operations are not disturbed while upgrading server and
client software, including OCS connectivity services, and AC 800M Controllers
(processor units and communication interfaces (CI)). The 800xA System being
upgraded must have redundant Aspect and Connectivity Servers.
Online Upgrade Controller Level allows AC 800M controllers to be upgraded with
new firmware versions online. Online upgrade is initiated from Control Builder by a
nine-step wizard. Refer to 800xA Online upgrade and Co-existence, versions
compatibility (3BSE080447) in the myABB/My Control System for the supported
upgrade paths.
You can upgrade the connectivity services online. However, use the following
rules to upgrade the overall system.
It is required to maintain Time Synchronization among all the nodes during the
complete upgrade process.
The nodes are upgraded in the following order:

• Domain Controllers.
• One redundant Aspect Server.
• 800xA for AC 870P/Melody Configuration Server.
• One redundant Connectivity Server for each redundant Connectivity Server
configuration.
• Third Aspect Server (if 2oo3 redundancy).
• Some clients.
• IM Server.
• All other Application Servers (Batch, Asset Optimization, PC, Network and
Software Monitoring, and so on.).
• All other nodes except Primary Aspect Server.
• Primary Aspect Server.
The client and server level is upgraded and the plant is fully operable, although the
controllers are not upgraded. The controller level is upgraded as follows:
• Some redundant Controller pairs (and CEX units if needed).
22 2PAA111695-600 G
2 Introduction 2.7 Online Upgrade
• Remaining redundant Controller pairs (if desired).

• Nonredundant controllers (no CEX units). Upgrading nonredundant controllers
will require minimal plant downtime.
This instruction does not contain procedures for upgrading the AC 800M controller
level. Refer to Appendix D for a general description.
Perform the online upgrade procedures on 800xA for Harmony systems as given
in Appendix E.

3 Considerations and Upgrade F 3.1 Considerations
3 Considerations and Upgrade Flow
This topic describes the considerations to be taken before planning an upgrade of

System 800xA 5.0 SP2 to System 800xA 6.0 and the workflow for upgrading.
Figure 3.1: Upgrading System 800xA - Overview
3.1 Considerations
The following considerations must be taken into account before performing the
upgrade.
• Unless otherwise indicated, the person performing this upgrade must use the
same user account that was used during the installation of the 800xA System
software.
• To guarantee the functionality of the upgraded system, follow these instructions
carefully and perform them in a well defined order.
• It is recommended that a disk image be taken of all disks on each node before
beginning and after completing the upgrade.
• Backing up the aspect directory (800xA System Backup), reports, history data,
graphics, and other application data is required before performing the upgrade.
2PAA111695-600 G 25
• Take an inventory of all software on all nodes in the 800xA System before
performing the upgrade.
• Many functions in System 800xA require the local clocks in the different system
nodes to be synchronized. How the time synchronization is best done differs
between systems.
Refer to System 800xA Network Configuration (3BSE034463*) that describes
number of different time synchronization schemes. Ensure proper time
synchronization scheme is in place before and after upgrade.
• Refer to the compatibility issues detailed in Appendix C before beginning the
upgrade.
Online upgrade and coexistence between different Controller versions is listed
in document 800xA Online upgrade and Co-existence, versions compatibility
(3BSE080447) available on myABB/My Control System.
• Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) is not supported in System 800xA
beginning System 800xA 6.0. It is mandatory to migrate all VBPG to Process
Graphics 2 (PG2) before performing upgrade. Plan for the migration in advance.
During Upgrade all the VB PG graphics elements, VB PG graphic displays
contents will be cleaned up. Also the standard VB graphics and AC 800M Classic
library system extensions installed in the system are unregistered and deleted.
Refer to System 800xA Engineering Process Graphics Migration Tool
(3BSE049231*) available in myABB/My Control System.
The System 800xA VBPG Search Tool is used to find VBPG aspects in 800xA
system that need to be migrated prior to a system upgrade. The tool can also
identify PG2 and Faceplate aspects that have references to VBPG aspects. For
more information on the tool, refer to System 800xA VBPG migration and System
800xA VBPG Search Tool (3BSE081093).
All VBPG aspects Main View in System 800xA 6.0 and later will show a message:
This aspect is not supported and will not be available for operator actions.
Symbol Factory Controls are no longer installed with the standard ABB 800xA
installation. A separate installation (ABB 800xA Symbol Factory) is needed to
use the Symbol Factory Controls. The ABB 800xA Symbol Factory installation
package is available on the media. A separate license is required to use the ABB
800xA Symbol Factory Controls.
26 2PAA111695-600 G
• If Foundation FIELDBUS is used in the system and if Visual Basic Graphics or

Faceplates are not used in the system, contact your local Support Organization
on how to do Online Upgrade.
• If 800xA History is used in the system, contact your local Support Organization
on how to do Upgrade.
• Perform the online upgrade procedures on 800xA for Harmony systems as given
in Appendix E.
• If Batch Management is installed and running, all batches must be in the complete
state (no running batches or active phases) before upgrade.
• If 800xA for Melody / AC 870P is used in System 800xA 5.0 SP2, the
Configuration Server database upgrade workflow to System 800xA 6.0 is a
two-step procedure, because of the incompatibility issues between the Microsoft
SQL Server versions on both the systems.
1. Upgrade Configuration Server database to System 800xA 5.1.
2. Upgrade Configuration Server database to System 800xA 6.0.
Contact your local Support Organization for more information.
• If IEC 61850 is used in System 800xA 5.0 SP2, upgrade of CET OPC Server
Project to System 800xA 6.0 is a two-step process.
1. Upgrade CET project from System 800xA 5.0 SP2 to 800xA 5.1.
2. Upgrade CET project from System 800xA 5.1 to System 800xA 6.0.
Contact your local Support Organization for more information.
2PAA111695-600 G 27
3 Considerations and Upgrade F 3.2 Upgrade
After upgrade, make sure not to index the following folders under any
circumstances, or the entire volume that contains them. These folders can exist
on one or more disks and should not be indexed on any of them.
• OperateITData: Runtime data from services is stored here.
• OperateITTemp: Runtime data for client processes is stored here.
• ProgramData: Various other runtime data is stored here.
• HsData, Oracle: Applies only for Information Management Servers.
• ABBIndustrialIT Data: User data is stored here.
Refer to Microsoft Windows help for more information on the Windows Search
Indexing feature and recommendations on types of folders to index and not to
index.
3.2 Upgrade
System 800xA supports Online upgrade and Offline upgrade. The detail workflow
is giving in the following sections.
Online Upgrade makes it possible to upgrade an existing 800xA System without a
process shutdown. Plant operations are not disturbed while upgrading server and
client software, including connectivity services, and AC 800M Controllers (processor
units and communication interfaces (CI)).
The 800xA System being upgraded online must have redundant Aspect and
Connectivity Servers, and redundant AC 800M Controllers consisting of two redundant
processing units connected to I/O modules either directly to the modulebus or using
various CI modules. The client and server level can be upgraded without upgrading
the controllers.
800xA Systems without redundant Aspect and Connectivity Servers require a
process shutdown and must be upgraded offline.
Redundancy is not supported for the Batch Management and Information

Management combined node type.
This instruction addresses only the client and server level software. It does not
provide detailed instruction for upgrading the controller level; however, a high
level discussion about the controller level appears in Appendix C.
28 2PAA111695-600 G
3 Considerations and Upgrade F 3.3 Online Upgrade Flow
in Appendix E.
3.3 Online Upgrade Flow

This section provides detailed information and procedures for doing an Online Upgrade
of an 800xA System. Refer to Online Upgrade for additional information and ideas
on how to streamline the upgrade process.
The topic is organized so that the instructions are presented in the proper upgrade
order. Do not skip any steps that pertain to 800xA software being used in the
current or upgraded system.
It is important to create backups of node hard disks (using a third party
backup/restore and/or disk imaging utility) and the 800xA System before starting
the upgrade procedures. Valid backups ensure that the system can be restored if
necessary.
Place the process in a low level of production where the likelihood of process
upsets is minimized.
Online Upgrade workflow is divided into following sections:
• Preparing System 800xA 5.0 SP2: The procedures for preparing System 800xA
5.0 SP2 involves system wide Pre-Upgrade steps that needs to be done before
upgrade. The node wise Pre-Upgrade procedures need to be executed during the
Online Upgrade of that specific node.
• Preparing and Setting Up System 800xA 6.0 (Online Upgrade): The procedures
for Online Upgrade covers the node order and the workflow to be followed across
the 800xA system.
• Configuring System 800xA 6.0: Perform the post upgrade procedures for different
node types as described in Post-Upgrade Procedures.
3.3.1 Preparing System 800xA 5.0 SP2

The procedures for preparing System 800xA 5.0 SP2 involves system wide
Pre-Upgrade steps that needs to be done before upgrade. The node wise Pre-Upgrade
procedures need to be executed during the Online Upgrade of that specific node.
The following are the system-wide Pre-Upgrade procedures:
2PAA111695-600 G 29
1. Document all Windows settings including the domain, DNS, policies, users, and
so on.
2. Collect the information about the System Functions, Node Functions and their
configurations from existing System 800xA 5.0 SP2. This information can be
obtained from existing plant documentation.
The information about existing System 800xA 5.0 SP2 must be used while
planning a similar System 800xA 6.0.
Diagnostics Collection Tool can also provide some information about existing
System 800xA 5.0 SP2. For more details, refer to Appendix G.
3. Migrate the existing Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) aspects to the
corresponding Process Graphics 2 aspects. Refer to System 800xA Engineering
5.0 SP2 Process Graphics Migration Tool (3BSE049231*) available in
myABB/My Control System.
Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) is not supported in System 800xA
beginning System 800xA 6.0. It is mandatory to migrate all VBPG to PG2 graphics
before performing upgrade.
identify PG2 aspects that have references to VBPG aspects. For more information
on the tool, refer to System 800xA VBPG migration and System 800xA VBPG
Search Tool (3BSE081093).
4. The 800xA System and software require preparatory procedures before performing
the upgrade. These pre-upgrade procedures are dependent on the products installed
in existing 800xA System and are classified as:
a. System-wide Pre-Upgrade Procedures
b. Pre-upgrade Procedures before Maintenance Backup
c. System 800xA Maintenance Backup
30 2PAA111695-600 G
d. Pre-upgrade Procedures for Local Data Backup

Perform the applicable procedures in the order presented in Pre-Upgrade
Procedures section before proceeding.
If performing an online upgrade, you must perform the pre-upgrade procedures
described in this section on a node-to-node basis. Refer to the Preparing and Setting
Up System 800xA 6.0 section to know the node order to be followed.
If performing an offline upgrade, save the data obtained during the pre-upgrade
procedures in node-specific folders.
3.3.2 Preparing and Setting Up System 800xA 6.0

This section details the node order and the corresponding steps for each node that
needs to be followed during an online upgrade procedure.
The nodes are upgraded in the following order for online upgrade of System 800xA:
• Domain Controllers.
• One redundant Aspect Server.
• 800xA for AC 870P/Melody Configuration Server.
• One redundant Connectivity Server for each redundant Connectivity Server
configuration.
• Third Aspect Server (if 2oo3 redundancy).
• Some clients.
• IM Server.
• All other Application Servers (Batch, Asset Optimization, PC, Network and
Software Monitoring, and so on.).
• All other nodes except Primary Aspect Server.
• Primary Aspect Server.
The client and server level is upgraded and the plant is fully operable, although the
controllers are not upgraded. The controller level is upgraded as follows:
• Some redundant Controller pairs (and CEX units if needed).
• Remaining redundant Controller pairs (if desired).
2PAA111695-600 G 31
• Nonredundant controllers (no CEX units). Upgrading nonredundant controllers

will require minimal plant downtime.
This instruction does not contain procedures for upgrading the AC 800M controller
level. Refer to Appendix D for a general description.
in Appendix E.
Figure 3.2 shows a high level workflow of Online Upgrade.
32 2PAA111695-600 G
Figure 3.2: High level Workflow for Online Upgrade
2PAA111695-600 G 33
Domain Controller Migration

Domain Controllers must be upgraded as the first step while upgrading the 800xA
System online. Refer to Appendix A for the steps to upgrade the Domain Controllers.
This step can be skipped if 800xA system is in a workgroup environment.
In case if the Aspect server is combined with a Domain Controller, only the
redundant Domain Controller should be upgraded first. The primary Aspect /
Domain Controller will be upgraded as the last step in the Online Upgrade Flow.
If you want to use IPSec functionality to secure 800xA system, it must be
configured for a migrated Domain Controller after upgrading to the 800xA 6.0
version. For information on configuring the IPSec settings, refer to System 800xA
Post Installation (2PAA111693*).
Redundant Aspect Server

The following are the procedure for upgrading redundant Aspect Servers.
1. Stop the redundant Aspect Server from the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System using the
Stop Server feature in the Configuration Wizard. This server can be a stand-alone
Aspect Server or it can be combined with a redundant Connectivity Server.
2. Remove the redundant Aspect Server from the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System using the
Remove Server feature in the Configuration Wizard. If working in a domain
this server needs to be removed from the Domain Controller. When this server
is upgraded it will become the Primary Aspect Server in the 800xA 6.0 System.
The other redundant Aspect Server, if running 2oo3 redundancy, will be removed
from the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System later.
3. Reformat the hard drive.
4. Install the new operating system defined for the 800xA 6.0 System.
5. Refer to Prerequisite Section of System 800xA Installation and Upgrade Getting
Started (2PAA111708*) and perform all procedures relating to operating system
settings, Windows service packs, miscellaneous Windows components installation,
other third party software, group policy, 800xA Service User privileges, and
Windows updates and hot fixes.
6. Launch the Node Preparation Tool (NPT) by starting the Setup.exe from the
root level of the installation media to prepare the node.
34 2PAA111695-600 G
The NPT copies the installation files to the local drive on the computer and
installs the 800xA Base Software. Thus preparing the node for deployment of
an 800xA System.
7. Launch System Configuration Console tool as the 800xA Installing User from
ABB Start Menu > ABB IndustrialIT > System.
8. Go to Create System task to create a System on the Primary Aspect Server node
and making the node ready for System deploy.
9. Go to Configure System task in SCC, plan the 800xA 6.0 System identical to
800xA 5.0 SP2 system. Refer to System 800xA Installation and Upgrade Getting
Started (2PAA111708*) on how to plan the system.
To identify System functions and node functions, refer to Appendix G.
During planning 800xA 6.0 system, few node functions require service group
name and service provider name to be entered. For standard nomenclature of
service group names and service provider names, refer to Appendix F.
During Online Upgrade, the Primary Aspect Server of 800xA 5.0 SP2 system
becomes the Secondary Aspect Server of 800xA 6.0 system and vice versa.
Hence all node functions of 800xA 5.0 SP2 Primary Aspect Server are now to be
planned on 800xA 6.0 Secondary Aspect Server and vice versa, while planning
the system using SCC Tool.
For Batch Redundancy, a server node in the system needs to be configured and
designated as the Batch Witness Server. Refer to System 800xA Batch Management
Configuration (3BUA000146*) for more information.
For Advant Master Connectivity Server node function, it is mandatory to configure
Network Group Number, Network 1, Network 2, and Node Number. These
numbers are documented in the Pre-Upgrade Procedures.

f. Click Finish in the Apply Settings dialog box.
g. Wait a few minutes, and when the Configuration Wizard appears again with
the System dialog box the deletion of the system is completed.
h. Click Exit.
14. Reboot the node.
15. Install the 800xA 6.0 compatible custom libraries and extensions on the Primary
Aspect Server Node.
16. Restore the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System backup on the Primary Aspect Server.
The User Account that is used for 800xA System restore using the Configuration
Wizard must be a member of the following groups:
• IndustrialITUser
• IndustrialITAdmin
• Local Administrators
The backup/restore utility supports the restoring of 800xA System information.
The following steps outline the 800xA System restore procedure.
Refer to System 800xA Maintenance (3BSE046784*) for more information on
restoring the system.
To start the restore procedure:
a. Open the Configuration Wizard.
b. In the Select Type of Configuration dialog box, select Restore System, and
then click Next.
c. When a dialog box appears with the Generate new system id check box
available, select the check box. This is necessary because there will be two
systems in one network during an online upgrade.
d. Enter a system name and click Next.
e. Rename the first Aspect Server to the last Aspect Server (this is now going
to be the Primary Aspect Server) in the Node Configuration dialog box under
the Primary nodes frame.
2PAA111695-600 G 39
If the Aspect Servers is combined with any other 800xA Server, naming of user
configured Service Group(s) and Service Provider(s) needs to be handled manually
after upgrade.
f. Rename the last Aspect Server to the first Aspect Server in the Primary nodes
frame and click Next.
Verify and review the message with missing System extensions. Ignore the missing
VB Graphics Extensions. However, it is important to verify and review all other
missing system extensions.
17. Check for messages in the log file (select the View Log check box in the
Configuration Wizard). Refer to Troubleshooting to resolve any received warning
or error messages.
Restart the node when advised during the restore procedure.
18. Check the CPU load in the node. The System Message service may generate a
high load (>90%). If this continues for longer than approximately 10 minutes,
restart the service.
If a message appears stating that a full deploy of the Generic Control Network is
needed, click OK.
19. Import the System Configuration and System Configuration State aspects from
Step 12..
The aspects are to be imported to the below path:
Admin Structure > Administrative Objects > Domains > System
Name,Domain
20. To make the future updates and upgrades easier, the Service Group names and
Service Provider names must match either the default names for System 800xA
6.0 or the configured names for node functions with Server Groups and Providers
configured in Step 11.. It is mandatory to rename the Service Group and Provider
names on the Primary Aspect Server as per the default format before we proceed.
For more information about the correct names for service groups and providers,
refer to Appendix F.
40 2PAA111695-600 G
If the Service Group names and Service Provider names do not match in the
configuration created by the system installer and imported in Step 19., Deploy
can fail or duplicate Service Groups and Providers may be created after upgrade.
In this case the duplicate Service Groups and Providers needs to be cleaned up
from 800xA 6.0 system looking at 800xA 5.0 SP2 reference System.
21. Refer to Compare the Number of Aspects and Objects and record the number of
aspects and objects in the system. Compare these values to those recorded when
the system was backed up.
22. Verify the affinity settings to ensure best system performance. Refer to System
800xA Post Installation (2PAA111693*) for more information on how to configure
affinity.
23. Refer to Consistency Check and perform the necessary consistency checks.
800xA for AC 870P/Melody Servers

While performing an online upgrade, ensure that the upgrade of the Melody
Connectivity Server and the Melody Configuration Server is performed on the
same calendar day. The reason being:
A subscription (date stamp) is added to the upgraded Configuration Server by the
running Connectivity Server. If the upgrade of the servers are not performed on
the same calendar day, there would be a mismatch in this subscription, thus not
allowing the upgraded Connectivity Server to start after the system upgrade.
Redundant Connectivity Servers

The following are the procedures for upgrading redundant Connectivity Servers.

3 Considerations and Upgrade F 3.4 Offline Upgrade Flow
10. Perform the 800xA full backup from the Maintenance Structure (Aspect
Directory backup type) and ensure that there are no new errors and warnings.
3.4 Offline Upgrade Flow

This section provides detailed information and procedures for doing an Offline
Upgrade of an 800xA System. Refer to Online Upgrade on page 22 for additional
information and ideas on how to streamline the upgrade process.
The topic is organized so that the instructions are presented in the proper upgrade
order. Do not skip any steps that pertain to 800xA software being used in the
current or upgraded system.
It is important to create backups of node hard disks (using a third party
backup/restore and/or disk imaging utility) and the 800xA System before starting
the upgrade procedures. Valid backups ensure that the system can be restored if
necessary.
Offline Upgrade workflow is divided into following sections:
• Preparing the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System: The procedures cover system wide and
node specific steps that need to be done on a 800xA 5.0 SP2 System before doing
an upgrade.
• Preparing the 800xA 6.0 System (Offline Upgrade): The procedures cover the
workflow to be followed for preparing 800xA 6.0 system during an Offline
Upgrade.
• Setting Up 800xA 6.0 System: The procedures cover the workflow to setup the
800xA 6.0 System including offline upgrade.
3.4.1 Preparing the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System

Perform the following to prepare an 800xA 5.0 SP2 System for an upgrade:
1. Document all Windows settings including the domain, DNS, policies, users, and
so on.
2PAA111695-600 G 51
The information about existing System 800xA 5.0 SP2 can be used while planning
a similar System 800xA 6.0.

the upgrade. These pre-upgrade procedures are dependent on the products installed
in existing 800xA System and are classified as:
a. System-wide Pre-Upgrade Procedures
b. Pre-upgrade Procedures before Maintenance Backup
c. System 800xA Maintenance Backup
d. Pre-upgrade Procedures for Local Data Backup
52 2PAA111695-600 G
Perform the applicable procedures in the order presented in Pre-Upgrade

Procedures section before proceeding.
5. After taking the maintenance backup, retain the Aspect Directory node with the
800xA 5.0 SP2 System.
It is highly recommended to retain the Aspect Directory node after taking the
maintenance backup on the 800xA 5.0 SP2 System. This will not only act as a
reference node post-upgrade, but will also ensure that the changes made to the
aspects created by the System Extensions can be reapplied in the new system, if
lost during an upgrade.
Refer to Reconfigure Aspects Created By System Extensions in Post-Upgrade
Procedures for information on evaluating and reapplying the changes to the System
Extension aspects.

4 Pre-Upgrade Procedures 4.1 Pre-Upgrade Procedure Steps
4 Pre-Upgrade Procedures
The 800xA System and software require preparatory steps before performing the
upgrade. Perform the applicable procedures in the order presented, based on the
installed system.
If performing an online upgrade, you must perform the pre-upgrade procedures
described in this section on a node-to-node basis. Refer to the Online Upgrade
Flow section to know the node order to be followed.
If performing an offline upgrade, save the data obtained during the pre-upgrade
procedures in node-specific folders.
4.1 Pre-Upgrade Procedure Steps

If you want to view all exemptions using the new ABB 800xA IPSec Configuration
Tool in 800xA 6.0, then follow the procedure as in the IPsec Configured in Source
System .
IPsec Configured in Source System

If the IPsec is configured in the source system (800xA 5.1) then after the domain
controller is upgraded, perform the following steps on the domain controller before
upgrading other nodes:

68 2PAA111695-600 G
4.2.2 Consistency Check

This topic describes the consistency check performed on the 800xA System.
Perform a consistency check before performing the 800xA System backup. Failing
to do so could result in problems when restoring the system after the upgrade. Any
changes to the aspects and objects must be done before taking the backup.
The following is an overview of the consistency check functionality in the 800xA
System.
• Perform consistency checks both before and after the upgrade.
• The consistency check is continuously improved between releases. If a consistency
error is detected after the upgrade, it does not necessarily mean that the error was
introduced by the upgrade process. It might have been there from the beginning,
but went undetected.
• Try to correct all consistency errors before the upgrade. This will make the
upgrade process easier. Consistency errors may cause the upgrade to either fail,
or continue, but without having done exactly what was intended. Since it is very
difficult to know where the upgrade handling will do changes, it is desirable to
make the system as consistent as possible before the upgrade. It is also good to
keep a system with the old version running so it is possible to go back and do
more corrections in the old system if problems occur during the upgrade.
– However, the upgrade will often work even though there are some remaining
consistency errors. In some cases it is easiest to correct the errors after the
upgrade (because the repair functionality has been improved in the new
release), so it may be worth an attempt at continuing with the upgrade. It is
recommended to keep a list of the detected consistency errors for future
reference.
2PAA111695-600 G 69
During the consistency check the following error messages might come from
PROFIBUS Hardware Libraries in system version 5.0 SP2 and later:
[Error] Library key must not be used on
'ABB_TFx12_PA 1.2-0:Aspect Category
Definition'. ... : Library Version Definition
[Error] Aspect 'ABB_TFx12_PA 1.2-
0:Hardware Library' contains multiple library
keys. ... : Library Version Definition
'ABB_TFx12_PA 1.2-0:Object Type
Structure'. ... : Library Version Definition
3 error(s) reported by 1 aspect(s).
1 aspect(s) can be repaired
This will have no impact on system upgrade.

• In 800xA 5.0 SP2 and later, perform the consistency check with the Consistency
Check tool (started by clicking the question mark icon in top right corner of Plant
Explorer Workplace).
• Perform consistency checks on the user-defined libraries in the Object Type
Structure or Library Structure, the Control Project in Control Structure, and
the Functional Structure.
• The general part of the upgrade process consists of importing new versions of
standard libraries, and propagating object type changes to user libraries and user
applications. It is only necessary to correct consistency errors regarding object
type, object type references, and similar configurations for the general part of
the upgrade process to work. Other inconsistencies such as unresolved references
should normally not lead to problems.
– However, special upgrade handling designed by the Functional Areas may
also update the references of aspects, so it is best to correct also broken
references before the upgrade.
– In the Library structure, navigate to Library Version Definition aspect present
in the user defined libraries. Select the Consistency tab and click Check
Consistency. Correct any errors that may appear during the consistency
check.
In 800xA5.0 SP2 and later, perform the consistency check with the Consistency Check
tool (started by clicking the question mark icon in top right corner of Plant Explorer
70 2PAA111695-600 G
Workplace). This instruction only includes the 800xA 5.0 SP2 and later procedure.
Refer to System 800xA Tools (2PAA101888*) for more detailed information on running
the 800xA 5.0 SP2 consistency check.
Perform a consistency check before performing the 800xA System backup. Failure
to do so could result in problems when restoring the system after the upgrade.
If using Asset Optimization, be sure to run the Consistency Check tool and delete
any inconsistent Asset Monitor Control Connection Properties aspects.
Perform the following to perform a consistency check:
1. Open a Plant Explorer Workplace.
2. Click the Consistency Check Tool icon at the top of the Plant Explorer
Workplace to launch the Consistency Check Tool.
Rather than performing Step 3. through Step 6. it is also possible to drag the desired
items to the Consistency Check Tool.
3. Click Add Item to open the Select Item dialog box.
4. Browse to the desired location.
5. Select the desired items (use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple items).
If a subtree is selected, all objects and aspects in the subtree will be selected. If
a library or application is selected, everything in this entity will be selected.
6. Click Add and Close.
7. Click Check.
8. If errors are found, and they are marked Repairable, perform an automatic repair
by selecting Repair Aspect in the context menu.
9. If errors are found that are not automatically repairable, try to manually
reconfigure the aspects to repair the consistency errors.
Refer to Pre-Upgrade Procedure Steps to go to the next pre upgrade step depending
on the installed system.

4.2.3 Migrating Visual Basic Process Graphics Aspects to Process

Graphics Aspects
Visual Basic Process Graphics (VBPG) is not supported in System 800xA begenning
System 800xA 6.0 and the graphic aspects based on VB can no longer be edited.
It is mandatory to migrate all user defined VBPG graphics to PG2 graphics before
performing upgrade. Refer to System 800xA Engineering 5.0 SP2 Process Graphics
Migration Tool (3BSE049231*) available in the myABB/My Control System for
information about the migration process.
system that need to be migrated prior to a system upgrade to System 800xA 6.0.
The tool can also identify PG2 aspects that have references to VBPG aspects. For
more information on the tool, refer to System 800xA VBPG migration and System
800xA VBPG Search Tool (3BSE081093).
4.2.4 Faceplates
The faceplates that were not migrated to Process Graphics 2 before the upgrade have
to be migrated for the following reasons:
• Better runtime performance, as no name server access is required when a faceplate
is opened.
• More reliable because the references continue to work even if the target object
is renamed.
• Microsoft Corporation has withdrawn support for Visual Basic.
• Upgraded faceplates function efficiently with the Consistency Checker and
Reference Tool. This behaves similar to a Process Graphics 2 graphic aspect.
• The upgrade to new reference handling can also repair some broken references.
Refer to the Upgrading Faceplates appendix in System 800xA Engineering Process
Graphics (3BSE049230*) for the procedure to upgrade the faceplates.

The configuration files are stored in the Files folder in the same location.
AC 800M Fingerprint Tool

AC 800M Fingerprint tool is a data collection tool, which collects diagnostic data
from all the controllers on the network. This tool can be used on the 800xA 5.0 SP2
system to collect data about the firmware versions, CPU load, hardware revisions
and so on. The data is collected in tab-separated text files and is saved with the
IP address and the controller name in a separate folder on the system. The data in the
text files can also be exported to a spreadsheet for data analysis.
Run the AC 800M Fingerprint tool before the upgrade to collect data from the 800xA
5.0 SP2 System. Similarly, run the tool after an upgrade to collect the data on the
800xA 6.0 System. The data collected before and after the upgrade can be compared
to analyze and verify the changes that may have occurred during the upgrade process.
Refer to System 800xA Control AC 800M Configuration (3BSE035980) for more
information on the AC 800M Fingerprint tool.

Fingerprint in 800xA 6.0 installation media. Start the Fingerprint Tool after copying
it to local node.
Start Values Analyzer Tool

A firmware upgrade of the controller may reset variables to their initial value. This
happens in case the cold retain attribute has not been set. The Start Values Analyzer
tool, introduced in System 800xA 6.0, can check if the attributes and parameters set
to the variables are changed after an upgrade. The tool displays a list of the variables
that may be set to the initial values after an upgrade. The output from this tool can
be exported to a spreadsheet for data analysis.
Run this tool before an upgrade and collect the data regarding the variables and the
associated attribute values. Run this tool after an upgrade, record the data, and compare
the results with the data collected before the upgrade. If certain variables are set to
the initial value during an upgrade, it can be reset to the last configured value based
2PAA111695-600 G 77
on the collected data. Refer to System 800xA Control AC 800M Configuration

(3BSE035980) for more information on the Start Values Analyzer tool.

b. If XY Profile Deviation Asset Monitors are being used in the system, save
the XY Profile Deviation Asset Monitor data directory
(XY_Reference_Profiles) to a safe media. This directory is located in:
c. If Counter Check Asset Monitors are being used in the system, save the
Counter Check Asset Monitors data directory named:
{66E71F7B-90D6-4E62-9881-38388B24CBDF}
to safe media. This directory exists for each AO Server in the system. These
directories are located in:
<install drive>:\OperateITData\AoEng\<AO Server ID>\
AmCat\<Counter Check ID>
Where each <AO Server ID> directory represents one AO Server instance
running on the selected node. The <AO Server ID> directory name is
formatted as two consecutive GUIDs, for example:
{F9C150F5-2929-4A12-BC28-E00ED6DB1585}{B925E77F-2A82-41C6-A981-FAB4386D5701}.
For correct system operation it is important that only the directories identified by
the Counter Check Asset Monitor category GUID be saved, as other data in the
tree structure above these directories will not be consistent with a restore.
2. Maximo Integration:
If using Maximo Integration, the Maximo Integration information (Maximo
Equipment ID and Maximo Credentials aspects) must be saved from all Asset
Optimization Server nodes. Refer the Service Structure for the name of the Asset
Optimization Server nodes.
a. The MxDef files provide the mapping between the 800xA System
environment and the Maximo system. If the MxDef files were customized
per the instructions in System 800xA Asset Optimization Configuration
(3BUA000118*) back up the customized MxDef files to safe media.
88 2PAA111695-600 G

ID and SAP Credentials aspects) must be saved from all Asset Optimization Server
nodes. Reference the Service Structure for the name of the Asset Optimization
Server nodes.
a. Although the SAP/PM system is separate from the 800xA System, it is a
good idea to back up the system in use. Follow SAP/PM standard practices
for SAP/PM system backup.
2PAA111695-600 G 89
b. The SAPPMDef files provide the mapping between the 800xA System
environment and the SAP/PM system. If the SAPDef files were customized
per the instructions in System 800xA Asset Optimization Configuration
(3BUA000118*), back up the customized SAPDef files to safe media.
The customized SAPPMDef files for SAP version 4.7 are located under:
...\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Optimize IT\
Asset Optimization\AOECSConnector\SAPPMDef
c. Back up the AOSAPModel.xml file to a safe location. A backup of
AOSAPModel.xml is necessary because the ECS model for SAP also needs
to be modified if the SAPPMDef files are customized.
The model file is available at the following location:
...\Program files\ABB Industrial IT\Optimize IT\Asset
The pending fault reports residing in the system are available in the following
directory structure. Backup the entire OptaoACDs folder.
Where:
<SAPSERVERIP>\<SYSTEM>\<CLIENT> is the combination of the SAP
Server Name|IP, and the SAP System Number and SAP Client Number
fields from the SAP Equipment ID aspect. These fields are configured in
the Aspect System Structure in the SAP Equipment ID aspect.
For example, the resultant path to the customized SAPDef files will look
like:
Optimization\AoAIPSAPWebSrv\SAPXML\10.127.5.55\00\800
-or-
equivalently, if the DNS name corresponding to 10.127.5.55 is, for example,
the resultant path to the customized SAPDef files will look like:
Optimization\AoAIPSAPWebSrv\SAPXML\moriah\00\800
Record the value of the SAPAOWebServer property in the ProviderProperties
aspect in:
90 2PAA111695-600 G

To check and verify the tablespace sufficiency:
1. Navigate to the Node Administration structure.
2. For the Information Management server, add the configured capacity for the
IMMSGLOG and the PDLMSGLOG. Round up the result to the nearest million.
If IMMSGLOG has six million capacity and the PDLMSGLOG has 400,000
capacity, round up the result to seven million. This example will require 7 GB
of additional index space.
3. Open the Oracle Instance Wizard and review the storage for the History Runtime
Indexes. Verify that the difference between the current usage and the maximum
usage is greater than the calculated value from Step 2.. If the available space is
2PAA111695-600 G 93
less than the calculated space, increase the maximum size of the tablespace. If
the maximum size of the tablespace is greater than 32 GB, a second database file
(DBF) must be added.
4. Review and update any other tablespaces that are at or near 100%.
5. Apply the changes and exit from the Oracle Instance Wizard.
Verifying US_IPDL table sizing
The upgrade will modify/create additional indexes to improve PDL performance.
These indexes may require additional tablespace. Use the following procedure to
make any necessary adjustments. Proper sizing will insure the upgrade runs properly.
If multiple IM servers exist in the system, this procedure is required on each IM
server.
1. Login to the IM server as the "800xAInstaller" user.
2. open a cmd.exe widow.
3. run SQLPLUS.exe /@localhost
4. at the SQL prompt, type
SQL> select * from ops$ocshis.pdl_tables;
SQL> exit;
5. Using the row counts returned,use this equation to deteming the additional space
required.
HS_IPDL extra space = HISTORY_ASSOC_OCC_END*75 +
HISTORY_ASSOC_OCC_START*75 + RESOURCE_TRANSACTIONS*30
+ TASK_VARIABLES*30 + TASK*85
6. Open the IM Oracle Instance Wizard.
7. Increase the HS_IPDL maximum size by the calculated amount. If the tablespace
is close to 32GB, add an additional datafile as needed.
8. Review TEMP and UNDO tablespace. For large configurations, configurations
with 12 million entry messages logs, the maximum sizes for temp and rollback
should be in the 8-12GB range.
Cleaning the History Database

It is recommended that the history database be cleaned before making the backup.
94 2PAA111695-600 G
ABB Process Administration Service (PAS) service must be stopped before

cleaning the History Database.
1. Open a Windows Command Prompt and enter hsDBMaint -checkDB.
2. If any problems are found, enter hsDBMaint -clean to fix them.
Verifying Service Provider Name Format

The Inform IT History Service Provider name is created automatically by the software
when the IM node is first created. If a user modifies the name, errors will be generated
while accessing a few utilities or while performing an upgrade. These errors can be
avoided by checking the name and correcting the name if necessary. The procedure
to check and change the Service Provider name is as follows:
1. In the Node Administration Structure, navigate to the IM History Configuration
group as shown in Figure 4.2.
Figure 4.2: History Configuration - Service Provider Name
2. Verify if the History Service Provider Name format is:

IM_Inform IT History_<hostname>
where <hostname> is the hostname of the IM server.

3. If the name does not match this format, use the workplace to correct the name.
2PAA111695-600 G 95
If a maintenance backup was taken before the name change, a new maintenance
backup must be taken to reflect the change in the Service Provider name.
4.3.22 Application Scheduler and Calculation Server

This procedure only applies to installations using the Application Scheduler and/or
Calculation Server services. If the services are installed and enabled, they must be
disabled before the Maintenance backup is taken. If they exist, perform the following
for each:
• Open a Plant Explorer Workplace.
• Use the Structure Selector to open the Service Structure.
• Select the Scheduler Service Object/Calculation Server Object.
• Select the Service Definition aspect.
• Click the Configuration tab.
• Clear the Enabled check box and click Apply.
The Scheduler/Calculation server services will have to be manually enabled after the
upgrade.
If performing an online upgrade, you can restart the Application Scheduler and/or
Calculation services after the PPA maintenance backup is completed. There is no
need to restart these if performing an offline upgrade as all nodes are offline before
any restoration begins.
4.3.23 800xA History

Perform the following on the 800xA History Embedded Data Collectors:
1. Open Plant Explorer.
2. Navigate to the Service Structure and disable the services of the 800xA History

The project data is located in the following directory:
...\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\Engineering Studio\Process
Engineering Tool Integration\Xml
Save the entire Xml data directory to a safe media such as a network share or
removable disk. The directory contains the default mapping files (*.dmf) modified
on the project, accelerator files (*.acc), and configuration files (*.pcf and *.fcf).
4.4 System 800xA Maintenance Backup

1. All system extensions that are part of the system must be installed and loaded
on the node where the backup will be taken (usually the primary Aspect Server
node).
The 800xA Backup/Restore function makes it possible to make an online backup
of the Aspect Directory on the Primary Aspect Server in the 800xA 5.0 SP2
System and restore it to the new Primary Aspect Server in the 800xA 6.0 System.
A full backup stores all aspect objects and aspect data (application data) in the
Aspect Directory.
2. Perform the 800xA System backup from the Maintenance Structure (Aspect
Directory backup type).
Do not make any configuration changes such as modifying displays, modifying
or deleting objects as these changes made to the system will be lost from this point
forward.
a. Open a Plant Explorer Workplace.
b. Use the Structure Selector to open the Maintenance Structure.
c. Create a Full Backup Definition object.
d. Configure the Scope and Storage tabs.
2PAA111695-600 G 97
4 Pre-Upgrade Procedures 4.5 Pre-Upgrade Procedures for Local Data Ba
e. Check the disk space and path in the Storage tab. A large configuration
could require a minimum of five gigabytes of free space.
f. Start the backup process.
Refer to the How to Make a Full Backup topic in System 800xA Maintenance
(3BSE046784*) for more detailed information on performing the 800xA
System Backup.
Backing up a Production System will not save the contents of the Engineering
Environment. Use the Export function to save the contents of the Engineering
Environment. Modifications can be made in the Engineering Environment while
backing up a Production System but all Load Evaluate Go sessions must be closed.
Only the Production Environment is restored when a Production System is restored.
All other environments are removed. Do not restore a Production System while a
Load Evaluate Go session is active or modifications are being made in the
Engineering Environment.
For more information, refer System 800xA Engineering and Production
Environments (3BSE045030*).
4.5 Pre-Upgrade Procedures for Local Data Backup

• Basic History Service Data
After taking a maintenance backup and before doing an upgrade, the local data (the
run-time data that was not previously backed up) needs to be backed up. This section
describes the steps for a few Functional Area software that need to be performed to
back up the local data before an upgrade.
4.5.1 800xA for AC 800M

After taking a maintenance backup and before performing an online upgrade, ensure
to back up the run-time data from the Aspect Server as detailed in the following
section.
98 2PAA111695-600 G
Compiler Output File Helper Tool

The compiler output files are created for every application and controller configuration
that will be downloaded to the controller. After a successful download of the
application and controller configuration to the controller, the compiler output files
are transferred to the Aspect Server.
The maintenance backup, before an upgrade will include the backup of the compiler
output files. However, there may be instances when some change to the applications
or controller configuration is downloaded after taking the maintenance backup. In
this case, the compiler output files need to be handled to ensure that a warm download
can be performed after the upgrade.
The Compiler Output File Helper tool, introduced in System 800xA 6.0, extracts the
compiler output files from the Aspect Server and stores it on a local disk. The same
tool is also used to import the collected files to the Aspect Server after the upgrade.
If changes have been downloaded to the controllers after taking the maintenance
backup, run the Compiler Output File Helper tool on the retained 800xA 5.0 SP2
Aspect Server to extract the compiler output files. After the upgrade to System 800xA
6.0, run the tool to import those files. Refer to System 800xA Control AC 800M
Configuration (3BSE035980) for more information on the Compiler Output File
Helper tool.
4.5.2 Information Management

Perform the following procedures to prepare for the Information Management upgrade.
End Microsoft Excel Process using Windows Task Manager

Use Windows Task Manager to manually end the EXCEL.EXE process.
ABB Process Administration Service (PAS)

Perform the following procedure to run the PAS utility.
1. Run the Process Administration Service (PAS) utility on the Information
Management Application Server node. From the Control Panel select:
Administrative Tools > PAS > Process Administration
2PAA111695-600 G 99
This opens the Process Administration Service dialog box.

2. Click Stop All to stop all processes under PAS supervision.
3. Click Close when the dialog box indicates that all processes are stopped.
4. Use standard Windows procedures, select the Services from Administrative Tools
in Windows Control Panel, to place the ABB Process Administration Service
into manual and insure that it is stopped.
Information Management History Backup and Restore Utility

The IM Server must be connected to an active aspect system at this time. The
following steps require acesss to the aspect directory.
Use the Information Management History Backup/Restore utility to create all the
backup files that are required to completely back up the Information Management
History database. This includes all configuration data, log data from both file-based
and ORACLE -based logs, and the Aspect System definition file.
During a backup operation, all data in the Oracle database owned by the Oracle History
user is exported to the specified destination and compressed into a zipped archive,
along with any files that have been created to store file-based property log entries
(called flat files).
The History database can be backed up to any drive, including any mapped network
drives. The disk type should be NTFS for the backups.
To avoid any ambiguity, the backup operation produces a zipped archive of compressed
History database files for each drive that contains at least some portion of the database,
where each archive contains only the database files that are stored on the corresponding
drive. The backup utility uses the naming convention name-drive.zip for the zipped
archives that it produces. For example, if the History database is located entirely on
the C:\ drive and you wish to back up the database to a zipped archive called hist, the
backup operation will compress the database files into a zipped archive named
histDB-C.zip.
If the data files exceed two gigabytes, or if there are more than 25,000 files, then
multiple zip files will be created using the following naming convention:
• First File name-drive.zip
When backing up the History database, make sure the disk is ready and available on
the node on which the procedure is to occur. The log file should be checked after the
backup operation to make sure that the backup operation completed successfully.
100 2PAA111695-600 G
Make sure the system drive is not getting full. Temp space is required to make the
backup. If the log file indicates that the Oracle export failed, additional options can
be passed to hsBAR to use another disk for the Oracle export.
To make a backup:
1. Select Backup and Restore Utility from: Start Menu > All Programs > ABB
Industrial IT 800xA > Information Mgmt > History > Backup and Restore.
2. Verify the Create Backup Files of Current Configuration option is enabled
in the IM Historian Backup/Restore Utility window.
3. Click Next. A window for setting up the backup operation is displayed.
4. Specify the location where the backup files are to be created in the New Directory
Path for the Backup field. Create a new directory such as E:\IMbackupSV5.0SP2.
The backup of the History data must be in a directory of its own, not the
D:\HSDATA\History directory. If the data is put into the D:\HSDATA\History
directory, it will get lost.
a. Specify additional hsBAR options if needed. When the system drive is low
on space, it is typical to specify:
-a D:\Export
The -a option enables an alternate location for temporary and Oracle DB

export files during the backup process. The folder should be created ahead
of time and the files system must be NTFS. Use this option to specify a
different folder for the oracle export file.
5. Verify the Only Generate Aspect Definition File option is disabled.
6. Click Next. The HsBAR Output Window is displayed.
7. Select the Automatically Close Upon Completion option.
8. After the HsBAR Output Window closes, monitor the progress in the Progress
Status area of the IM Historian Backup/Restore Utility window and click Finish
when the backup is complete.
If a message appears stating that there are inconsistencies between the log
configurations in the Aspect System and the log configurations in Oracle, it may
be because the database was not cleaned before running the backup. Use the
hsDBMaint -clean function to clean the database and then rerun the backup. If
this does not fix the problem, contact ABB Technical Support for further assistance.
2PAA111695-600 G 101
Saving Other Information Management Related Files

There are several other files related to Information Management to be saved as part
of a total system backup.
• History Archive Data: For each archive device, go to the location specified by
the Device Filename and copy the folders under that directory to a safe location.
Do this even if automatic backup is configured. If the automatic backups are on
local disks, locate these folders and back them up to a safe location.
• History Archive State Information: The folder that holds the last archive time
and other archive state information must be copied to a safe location. The folder
name is Archive and it is located at:

5.13 800xA for AC 100

Perform the following post upgrade procedure steps for 800xA for AC 100:
132 2PAA111695-600 G
5.13.1 Configuration and Operation

All software products for using the Advant Controller 100 Series in an 800xA System
are now installed and ready to use. Refer to 800xA for AC 100 Configuration and
Operation (3BDS013989*) or more information on configuration and operation; for
example, procedures to connect an 800xA System to an AC 100 OPC Server. Refer
to the Data Access topic in System 800xA Configuration (3BDS011222*) to connect
via DCOM, and to use the DCOMCNFG tool to set the DCOM security setting.
5.13.2 Time Synchronization and Daylight Saving Time

There are a number of ways to configure the clock synchronization for an Advant
Fieldbus 100 network along with a network of System 800xA products. The Advant
Fieldbus 100 network has its own clock synchronization. Refer to Advant Fieldbus
User Manual (3BSE000506*) for functionality and configuration details, and in the
corresponding reference manual for the data base elements of each controller.
A System 800xA network consists of one or several servers and a number of clients
connected via TCP/IP. Synchronization of that network of servers and clients in itself
is supported by the 800xA System. This is described in System 800xA Administration
and Security (3BSE037410*). One clock server synchronizes the other servers and
clients in the network.
The AC 100 OPC Server can function as the time master or as a slave versus the
Advant Fieldbus 100 network.
The information in the remainder of this topic represents the recommended
Configuration.
All servers and clients in an Advant Fieldbus 100 network must be configured to the
same time zone and must be time synchronized.
It is recommended that you set-up an 800xA Connectivity Server, that hosts the AC
100 OPC Server, as time master. It will be time master both for the System 800xA
network as well as for the Advant Fieldbus 100 network.
Any adjustment of the network time is done (from the time server) using the Windows
Date and Time dialog box in the Windows Control Panel.
To set up the 800xA System for such a configuration:
1. Set up the selected server node as the time server. If there are several server
nodes, set up the others to request the correct time from the time server.
2. Set up all the workstation nodes to accept the clock synchronization.
2PAA111695-600 G 133
3. Make sure that the Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time
setting is selected is set on all server and workstation nodes.
4. Set the time synchronization of the AC 100 OPC Server to Master according to
the instructions in AC 100 OPC Server Configuration and Operation
(3BDS013988*).
5. Set the time synchronization of other Advant OPC Servers for Advant
Fieldbus 100 to None according to the instructions in AC 100 OPC Server
Configuration and Operation (3BDS013988*).
6. Those nodes will collect their time from the time server.
The result of this solution is as follows for time tagged data:
• Alarm data and Historical data are stored according to UTC time. The local time
does not matter.
• Alarm and History data presentation manages the presentation of data with the
local time.
5.13.3 Installation Verification (Optional)

5.26.2 Information Management History Backup/Restore Utility

Select the Information Management History Backup/Restore utility from:
ABB Start Menu > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > Information Mgmt > History >
IM Backup and Restore
to restore the Information Management History database and synchronize the Aspect
Directory contents with the current Information Management History database
configuration.
During the restore, the existing database is dropped, and a new one is created. Mount
points and additional table spaces are created based on the database being restored.
Oracle data is imported, and the file-based property logs are copied back into the
2PAA111695-600 G 163
system. Unless a different mount point is specified, the History database will be
restored to its original location (its location prior to being backed up).
The History database can be restored from any drive, including any mapped network
drives. The restore utility will first search a specified location for zipped archives
matching a specific name and fitting the form name-drive.zip (such as histDB-C.zip,
histDB-A.zip, and histDB-D.zip), and will then restore the compressed database files
contained within the archives to their respective original locations (their locations
prior to being backed up).
Considerations
When restoring the History database, make sure the disk is ready and available on
the node on which the procedure is to occur. Also, ensure that no applications are
accessing the Oracle database. The log file should be checked after the restore
operation to make sure that the restore operation completed successfully.
Running the Information Management History Backup/Restore Utility

To restore a backed up History database:
This procedure can also be performed by using the pasgui command in the Run
dialog box.
1. Verify that the ABB Process Administration Service (PAS) is set to manual in
the Services Control Panel (run Services.msc from the Run dialog box). Stop the
service if it is running.
If PAS is not in the manual mode, it is possible the log configuration has been
modified and will not match the IM backup. If this is the case, the 800xA System
Restore may have to be repeated to correct the problem.
2. If it is suspected that the Inform IT History Service Provider has not stopped, it
can be stopped now by selecting the Inform IT History Service Provider for this
node in the Service Structure, selecting the Configuration tab on the Service
Provider Definition aspect, disabling Enabled, and clicking Apply.
3. Ensure that no third party applications access the Oracle database during the
restore operation.
4. Before restoring the database, it is necessary to create an Oracle database to
restore the backup.
a. Start the Oracle Instance wizard using:
164 2PAA111695-600 G
ABB Start Menu > ABB Industrial IT > Information Mgmt > History > IM
Oracle Instance Wizard
b. Create a database to restore by selecting I am upgrading or restoring from
a SV3.x or newer database backup. Be sure to select the correct size for
the database. If the previous system had more than four million entry message
logs, select large, for one to four million select medium, and for less than
one million select small.
If a database previously existed, drop it and create the correctly sized database.
5. Restore the database. Select:

ABB Start Menu > ABB Industrial IT 800xA > Information Mgmt > History >
IM Backup and Restore.
6. Verify Restore configuration from a backup file(s) is enabled in the Welcome
to IM Historian Backup and Restore Utility dialog box.
7. Click Next. IM Historian Database Restore dialog box appears (Figure 5.30).
Figure 5.30: IM Historian Database Restore Dialog Box
2PAA111695-600 G 165
8. Specify the location of the backup files in the Path of IM historian backup:
field (Figure 5.30).
If new mount points need to be specified for file-based logs and/or a new Oracle
tablespace definition file, click Browse. This will be required if the partition letters
where the IM data is stored have changed.
9. Click Next. The HsBAR Output Window appears.
10. Select the Automatically close upon completion check box.
11. Monitor the progress in the Progress Status area of the IM Historian
Backup/Restore Utility window. Ignore the error messages indicating errors
deleting aspect.
Following the message indicating the import is complete, the database conversion
tool will run automatically. Feedback will be provided in the HsBAR window.
Shortly after the message indicating the database conversion is complete, the
history synchronization tool will run automatically. Again, feedback will be
provided in the HsBAR window.
The restore of the system requires an instance that matches the size of the database
being restored. When creating the instance, be sure to select Small, Medium, or
Large based on the size of the message log in the backup being restored. Select
Large if the size is not known. If the wrong size is selected, the restore operation
may fail with the Oracle Error Message 1652 - Unable to extend tmp segment
in tablespace temp. Repeat the restore with the correct instance settings if the
error occurs. This will not happen if the correct database for upgrade is selected.
For example, if the database is using a 12 million entry OPC message log, the
large option should be selected. This will insure that enough TEMP and rollback
are created.
12. Click Finish when a message stating the execution is complete is displayed as
shown in Figure 5.31.

5.39 Consistency Check

This topic describes the consistency check performed on the 800xA System.
The following is an overview of the consistency check functionality in the 800xA
System.
• Perform consistency checks both before and after the upgrade.
• The consistency check is continuously improved between releases. If a consistency
error is detected after the upgrade, it does not necessarily mean that the error was
introduced by the upgrade process. It might have been there from the beginning,
but went undetected.
• Try to correct all consistency errors before the upgrade. This will make the
upgrade process easier. Consistency errors may cause the upgrade to either fail,
or continue, but without having done exactly what was intended. Since it is very
difficult to know where the upgrade handling will do changes, it is desirable to
make the system as consistent as possible before the upgrade. It is also good to
keep a system with the old version running so it is possible to go back and do
more corrections in the old system if problems occur during the upgrade.
– However, the upgrade will often work even though there are some remaining
consistency errors. In some cases it is easiest to correct the errors after the
upgrade (because the repair functionality has been improved in the new
release), so it may be worth an attempt at continuing with the upgrade. It is
recommended to keep a list of the detected consistency errors for future
reference.
184 2PAA111695-600 G
5 Post-Upgrade Procedures 5.39 Consistency Check
During the consistency check the following error messages might come from
PROFIBUS Hardware Libraries in system version 5.0 SP2 and later:

'ABB_TFx12_PA 1.2-0:Object Type
Structure'. ... : Library Version Definition
3 error(s) reported by 1 aspect(s).
1 aspect(s) can be repaired
This will have no impact on system upgrade.

• In 800xA 5.0 SP2 and later, perform the consistency check with the Consistency
Explorer Workplace).
• Perform consistency checks on the user-defined libraries in the Object Type
Structure or Library Structure, the Control Project in Control Structure, and
the Functional Structure.
• The general part of the upgrade process consists of importing new versions of
standard libraries, and propagating object type changes to user libraries and user
applications. It is only necessary to correct consistency errors regarding object
type, object type references, and similar configurations for the general part of
the upgrade process to work. Other inconsistencies such as unresolved references
should normally not lead to problems.
– However, special upgrade handling designed by the Functional Areas may
also update the references of aspects, so it is best to correct also broken
references before the upgrade.
– In the Library structure, navigate to Library Version Definition aspect present
in the user defined libraries. Select the Consistency tab and click Check
Consistency. Correct any errors that may appear during the consistency
check.
In System 800xA5.0 SP2 and later, perform the consistency check with the Consistency

procedure. Refer to System 800xA Tools (2PAA101888*) for more detailed information
on running the 800xA 5.0 SP2 consistency check.
Perform a consistency check before performing the 800xA System backup. Failure
to do so could result in problems when restoring the system after the upgrade.
If using Asset Optimization, be sure to run the Consistency Check tool and delete
any inconsistent Asset Monitor Control Connection Properties aspects.
Perform the following to perform a consistency check:
2. Click the Consistency Check Tool icon at the top of the Plant Explorer
Workplace to launch the Consistency Check Tool.
Rather than performing Step 3. through Step 6. it is also possible to drag the desired
items to the Consistency Check Tool.
3. Click Add Item to open the Select Item dialog box.
4. Browse to the desired location.

a library or application is selected, everything in this entity will be selected.
6. Click Add and Close.
7. Click Check.
8. If errors are found, and they are marked Repairable, perform an automatic repair
by selecting Repair Aspect in the context menu.
9. If errors are found that are not automatically repairable, try to manually
reconfigure the aspects to repair the consistency errors.

The order of migration described in this section must be changed when upgrading
800xA Systems with combined Domain Controllers/Aspect Servers. Rather than
upgrading both the Domain Controllers before everything else in the 800xA System,
the first Domain Controller must stay a part of the 800xA 5.0 SP2 Rev E System until
the end of the upgrade, after which it will be migrated with the upgrade of the 800xA
6.0 Primary Aspect Server.
A.1 Prerequisites
The following is required before starting the procedure to migrate the Domain
Controller:
• Must be logged on to the schema master as a member of the Enterprise Admins,
Schema Admins, and Domain Admins groups in the forest root domain.
• Ensure that replication is working throughout the entire forest. Ensure that all
Domain Controllers are up and running and that the schema master has been up
long enough for a complete replication cycle to occur for the Schema partition.

B Troubleshooting B.1 Errors and Warnings during Upgrade
Appendix B Troubleshooting
This section is divided into:

• Errors and Warnings during Upgrade
• Troubleshooting during Deploy
B.1 Errors and Warnings during Upgrade

The warning and error messages that can be generated by the 800xA backup/restore
function are described in the following topics. Suggested solutions are also provided.
B.1.1 Failed to Serialize Aspect

Example
Tue Jul 01 08:41:03 2003 [Error]: Failed to serialize aspect 'Operator Messages Link
Display' on object 'Web System Workplace'
Reason
It is not possible for the Backup function to save the aspect data.
Solution
Check in the system for the behavior of this aspect.
B.1.2 ASO Object Class xxxx

did not Implement IAfwAspectSystemObject. Failed to Create ASO. Forgot to Register
dll?
Example
Tue Jun 10 19:02:17 2003 [Error]: ASO object class
{7B7A13B3-8BB4-42A3-8289-987C579797C2}did not implement
IAfwAspectSystemObject Failed to create ASO. Forgot to register dll?
2PAA111695-600 G 201
Reason
This often occurs when a system extension is used, but not installed on the node from
where the backup is taken. It can also happen if an update of a system extension has
been installed, but not added to the system.
Solution
Install all system extensions on the node from where the backup is taken. Make sure
that the correct version of the system extension is installed.
B.1.3 UnplacedObjects.afw
Example
[Warning] c:\PPABackup\MyBackup\UnplacedObjects.afw created
Reason
During backup process, the backup tool goes through all structures, if there is an
object that doesn't exist in any structure, it will be placed in UnplacedObjects.afw
and write a warning in the backup log, therefore, UnplacedObjects.afw is used for
all objects which miss the structure.
Solution
Check if there is any important object in UnplacedObjects.afw. If there is an important
object in UnplacedObjects.afw, your backup is considered to be not complete. In such
case, investigate what kind of object it is, and try to repair the system. One solution
could be to add the object into the structure it should belong to. Take another backup.
B.1.4 The System Cannot Find the Path Specified

Example
Error detected for aspect 'Empty A3P' of object 'Document Manager
Templates/Document Manager File Templates/Drawings'
Tue Jun 08 00:43:30 2004 The system cannot find the path specified.
EbServiceHandler: Object Id = {9AFACBA5-6B6A-462A-9EDF-78765740CD52},
Aspect Id = {89F8A8C4-10F7-4874-B77D-A8E6445D5C93}
EbServiceHandler: Failed to load document into stream!
202 2PAA111695-600 G
Reason
When the backup was taken, the FSD cache was set too low. All data has NOT been
backed up. There should be warnings in the System Event list about overflow in the
Fsd cache.
Solution
Increase the Fsd Cache size (for all nodes).
B.1.5 System Extension ´xxxx´ with ID ´Guid` is not Installed on this

Node
Example
System extension 'Engineering Base' with id
{B775BEA4-7859-4649-AE16-901790822886} is not installed on this node.
System extension 'AC800M Con 31SP1' with id
{6F388AEC-E4FF-4614-AF80-1D37EC3B141F} is not installed on this node.
Reason
There is a system extension, which is not available in the node where the backup is
taken, or which is not properly removed. The latter can be the case if AC800 Connect
has been upgraded and the old version is still registered in Industrial IT 800xA.
Solution
Use a backup node where all system extensions are installed.
B.1.6 Timeout by External Service

Example
Thu Mar 04 02:34:55 2004 #1: Receiving files
Thu Mar 04 02:34:57 2004 #1: Finishing
Thu Mar 04 02:34:58 2004
Thu Mar 04 02:35:08 2004 TimeOut by External Service
2PAA111695-600 G 203
Reason
History or System Message data was backed up using the backup/restore function.
This functionality is not yet supported.
Solution
History and System Message data has to be saved manually, as described in reference
[2] Release Notes. Create a new backup, without including History or System Message
data.
B.1.7 Graphic Aspect = xxx Cannot be Imported

Example
Mon Mar 29 19:52:32 2004 [Error]: Object = WI Mezzanine Deck, graphic aspect =
Page Prev cannot be imported. Source directory =
d:\OperateITData\Temp\ActiveGraphics\{800BA917-3D7F-44B6-B647-90C4B06A98FA}.restore.2.
Reason
Could be different reasons.
Solution
Check the source directory specified in the error message. The log file in this directory
should give some hints of what caused the problem.
B.1.8 Too Many Aspects of Category

Example
Sat Jun 05 17:04:33 2004: Too many aspects of category 'Name' on object
'{82416BDF-5464-4422-A443-35E08E1065BE}'
Sat Jun 05 17:04:34 2004: Import/Export Error: Object
{82416BDF-5464-4422-A443-35E08E1065BE}
({82416BDF-5464-4422-A443-35E08E1065BE}) -
E_AFW_AD_TOO_MANY_ASPECTS (0x8abb081b) To many aspect of a specific
type.
Sat Jun 05 17:04:34 2004: Failed to restore file C:\BWSC\BWSC Full Backup;
2004-06-03; 03-00\Control Structure28.afw. The importer returned hr = 0x8abb081b
204 2PAA111695-600 G
Reason
The system was inconsistent at backup time (there were more than one aspect of
category 'Name' on an object). The backup does not react on this, but restore will fail.
The restore part will be fixed in a later release (it will be possible to import such an
object, but a warning will be granted).
Solution
Open the file (in this case Control Structure28.afw) with the old import/export utility
(<Install path>\bin\AfwImportExport_obsolete.exe), search for the aspect category
and manually remove one of the two aspect categories.
B.1.9 Aspect Category is Missing

Example
Sat Jun 05 16:41:27 2004: Aspect '{506D9D24-E22A-4EDB-AFB0-0753B6DB6990}'
on object 'SoftPoint Object Types' cannot be restored because the aspect category is
missing
Sat Jun 05 16:41:27 2004: ObjectId: {9574CC3B-0E5E-4B14-A83E-F483CCDE6E44}
Sat Jun 05 16:41:27 2004: AspectId:
{506D9D24-E22A-4EDB-AFB0-0753B6DB6990}
Reason
One or more aspect categories have been removed, while there are aspects of that
category still in the system. This inconsistency was present in the system when the
backup was taken.
Solution
If the aspect category has been removed then these aspects may not be of interest any
more. Check if the aspects are needed. If not, ignore this message.
B.1.10 Unknown Transaction Error

Example 1
Mon Apr 19 13:39:40 2004: Unknown transaction error
Reason
If this is the only error message, there is probably a problem with some windows
resources.
2PAA111695-600 G 205
Solution
Check your windows resources.
Example 2
Mon Jun 28 08:37:08 2004: Loading C:\BACKUP\Full Backup; 2004-06-23;
10-39\Aspect System Structure0.afw ...
Mon Jun 28 08:37:09 2004: Aspect 'Batch Management Operation' on object 'Batch
Management Documents' failed to unserialize itself.
Mon Jun 28 08:37:09 2004: ObjectId:
{814786F8-E6CC-44B0-9A2A-1787FADDFE6F}
Mon Jun 28 08:37:09 2004: AspectId:
{2CE41978-DE94-44AC-9D38-B216FBA93C3A}
Reason
It is not possible for the Restore function to restore the aspect data.
Solution
No solution available.
B.1.11 Import/Export Error

Solution
No solution exists. Users can ignore this error.
B.2 Troubleshooting during Deploy

The error messages that can be generated while deploying a node are described in
the following topics. Suggested solutions are also provided.
1. Problem: In very rare circumstances running Node Preparation Tool (NPT) will
create an error due to failure in stopping WMI Performance Adapter service.
Workaround: Stop and disable the WMI Performance Adapter service
manually from windows services and restart the node. After restart NPT will run
automatically.
2. Problem: During deploy of a node in very few cases, 800xA Notification Icon
on the node will display bad status and deploy might not proceed.
Figure B.1: Notification Icon
Workaround: The node needs to be disconnected and connected back to the

800xA System for deploy to proceed.
a. Right-click on the Notification Icon and open Configuration Wizard.
b. Select Disconnect Node and click Next. Proceed to disconnect the node.
c. After node is disconnected, select Connect Node and click Next.
d. Select Primary Aspect Server Node from drop-down and click Next.
e. Proceed to connect the node back to 800xA System.
3. If due to any reasons, Deploy System fails in the SCC Tool with an error on a
node(s), the user has following options available.
• Click Retry and proceed
2PAA111695-600 G 207
In few cases, clicking on the Retry button can be a quick solution. If Retry
button is enabled in Deploy window, prefer this as first option before trying
out other options.
Figure B.2: Retry Option
• If the reason of failure is known, you can choose to manually resolve the
issue with that particular node function(s) and proceed with deployment of
rest of the nodes in the system.
a. On the Deploy window, expand the node where Deploy failed.
b. Right-click on the node function that failed.
c. Select Manually Resolve.
d. Click OK.
This will ensure only the node function(s) that is failed is skipped and
rest of the system deployment continues as planned.
208 2PAA111695-600 G
Figure B.3: Manually Resolve
• If there are multiple failures on the node(s) which cannot be resolved

immediately (like Hardware failure), you can choose to skip the deployment
of entire node(s) that have failed and continue with the deployment on rest
of the nodes in the system.
a. On the Deploy window, click Abort > Abort deploy in progress.
Figure B.4: Aborting the Deploy
2PAA111695-600 G 209

D Online Upgrade Controller Le D.1 Online Upgrade Controller Level
Appendix D Online Upgrade Controller Level
The information in this appendix is intended only as a high level introduction to the
online upgrade of the controller level. Detailed information appears in the controller
and control software instructions.
D.1 Online Upgrade Controller Level

Redundant AC 800M controllers can be upgraded with new firmware versions online.
Online upgrade is initiated from Control Builder by a nine-step wizard. Refer to the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting section in 800xA - Control and I/O, Basic Control
Software, Introduction and Configuration (3BSE035980R*) for more information.
In order to use online upgrade for the controller level:
• Refer to the Control and I/O, Control Software for AC 800M section of System
800xA Release Notes New Functions and Known Problems (2PAA106188*) for
the controller versions that support online upgrade.
• AC 800M Controllers require the client and server level to be of the same or
higher 800xA System version/revision. Refer to 800xA Online upgrade and
Co-existence, versions compatibility (3BSE080447) in the myABB/My Control
System for the supported upgrade paths.
• AC 800M Controllers must be redundant. A redundant controller consists of two
redundant processing units connected to I/O modules or CI modules.
• AC 800M Controller firmware and its CI modules can be upgraded independently.
– AC 800M controller firmware and the SM810, SM811, SM812 (safety)
CI modules must be upgraded simultaneously.
• Different AC 800M Controllers with different 800xA System versions/revisions
can coexist. This allows for extensions of an 800xA System with new AC 800M
Controllers or other new 800xA System functionality without having to upgrade
all existing controllers.
2PAA111695-600 G 215
D Online Upgrade Controller Le D.1 Online Upgrade Controller Level
– Starting from 800xA 5.0, upgrading to newer versions of Control Builder

and/or OPC Server does not require a controller upgrade. Controllers with
different firmware versions can coexist in the same network, and newer
versions of Control Builder and OPC Server can connect to controllers of
older versions (not older than 800xA 5.0). Refer to the Control and I/O,
Control Software for AC 800M section of System 800xA Release Notes New
Functions and Known Problems (2PAA106188*) for the controller versions
that support coexistence. Refer to 800xA Online upgrade and Co-existence,
versions compatibility (3BSE080447) in the myABB/My Control System
for the supported upgrade paths.
– Hardware types can coexist in different 800xA System versions/revisions
in the same 800xA System.
– Controllers that need to take advantage of new functionality are the only
ones that have to be upgraded. Other controllers can remain untouched. This
backwards compatibility is typically kept for two previous system versions.
• Upgrading nonredundant AC 800M Controllers is accomplished with minimized
plant disturbance by stopping and upgrading one controller at a time. The client
and server level can still be upgraded online, as long as the conditions are met
for performing an online upgrade on the client and server level.
Hot swap is the method to be used for a nonredundant AC 800M controller with
redundant CI modules and unchanged controller firmware.

E 800xA for Harmony Online Upg E.1 Prerequisites
Appendix E 800xA for Harmony Online

Upgrade
This appendix describes the 800xA for Harmony online upgrade procedures.
E.1 Prerequisites
Two additional network switches are required for network isolation when
performing an online upgrade.
When an online upgrade of an 800xA 5.0 SP2 system is performed on a system that
includes 800xA for Harmony, the 800xA 5.0 SP2 and 800xA 6.0 systems must be
kept on separate network(s) until the 800xA 5.0 SP2 system is no longer required.
For more information, refer to the Upgrade Flow procedure provided in Considerations
and Upgrade Flow. An online upgrade requires redundant Aspect Servers, Harmony
Connectivity Servers, and Domain Controllers in the case of a domain.
Do not make any configuration changes on the 800xA system running the older
version during the online upgrade.
During an online upgrade the second domain controller must be promoted to a primary
domain controller, upgraded to Server Operating System, the domain roles transferred
to the node and finally moved to the isolated 800xA 6.0 network(s).
E.2 Node Order

This node order is different than what is described in Introduction.
2PAA111695-600 G 219
E 800xA for Harmony Online Upg E.3 800xA for Harmony Upgrade Procedure
From System Version 6.0, the 800xA for Harmony Configuration Server is not
available. Standalone Configuration Server nodes can remain in the system as
Application Server nodes or they can be removed from the system. The combined
800xA for Harmony Configuration and Connectivity Server nodes will be 800xA
for Harmony Connectivity Server nodes in the upgraded system (800xA 6.0
System).
The upgrade is a node-by-node procedure that must be performed in the following
node order:
Online Upgrade Node Order
• Redundant Domain Controller
• Redundant Aspect Server(s)
• Redundant 800xA for Harmony Connectivity Server(s)
• Application Server(s) and Configuration Server(s) that are to be used as
Application Server(s)
• Client(s)
• Primary Connectivity Server(s) and combined Configuration and Connectivity
Server(s)
• Primary Aspect Server
• Primary Domain Controller
E.3 800xA for Harmony Upgrade Procedure

Perform the procedure as follows:
1. Perform the applicable pre-upgrade procedures from Pre-Upgrade Procedures
for 800xA 5.0 SP2 to 800xA 6.0 upgrade.
2. Create a backup of the 800xA System from the Maintenance structure. Refer to
System 800xA Maintenance (3BSE046784*) user manual.
The 800xA for Harmony Standalone ConfigServer Export tool must be run before
performing the 800xA System backup. Refer to 800xA for Harmony pre-upgrade
procedures for more information.
3. Prepare System 800xA for upgrade. Refer Preparing System 800xA 5.0 SP2.
220 2PAA111695-600 G
4. For an online upgrade in a domain environment, prepare the node to move to the

H Footprint Reduction during U H.1 Introduction
Appendix H Footprint Reduction during

Upgrade
H.1 Introduction
System 800xA 6.0 makes better use of hardware than previous system versions. The
introduction of the Node Function concept allows more functionality per node.
This appendix describes the workflow and procedure to take advantage of the smaller
footprint in System 800xA during upgrade from previous system versions. The
procedure enables the reduction of number of nodes in the upgraded system.
The footprint reduction is achieved by identifying the node functions to be moved
and combined with other node functions in a node. Through this consolidation of
800xA functionality the number of nodes can be reduced during the upgrade while
keeping the same overall functionality of the System 800xA.
H.2 Example
The example illustration below demonstrates a simple example of moving the node
functions from the connectivity server to the aspect server during the upgrade to
reduce the footprint of the 800xA System.
2PAA111695-600 G 265
H Footprint Reduction during U H.3 Considerations
Figure H.1: Example
H.3 Considerations
The considerations to be taken before planning for an upgrade with footprint reduction:
• Footprint reductions is performed only during offline upgrade.
• Footprint Reduction of 800xA for AC 800M Connectivity Servers located in
different Control Network Areas is not supported.
• The following services are supported from one node to another during upgrade:
– OPC Server for AC 800M.
– PROFIBUS and HART Connectivity Services.
– PC, Network and Software Monitoring Services.
– Asset Optimization Services.
– IEC 61850 Connectivity Services.
– PLC Connect Services, SoftPoint Services.
– FOUNDATION Fieldbus Connectivity services
– Basic History Services.
– Advant Master Connectivity Services.
266 2PAA111695-600 G
H Footprint Reduction during U H.4 Source System Workflow
Performing Footprint Reduction for Advant Master Connectivity Services will

result in loss of any user defined aspect created for MB300 RTA Board Object
and RTA Load Object
• The intended reduction by combining the node functions must be as per the
constraints and specifications specified in the System 800xA System Guide
Technical Data and Configuration (3BSE041434*).
H.4 Source System Workflow

The preparation and planning for upgrade of System 800xA must be started in enough
time before the actual upgrade. The source system must be analyzed and respective
node functions needs to be moved must be identified and the final system must be
according the specification of the System 800xA 6.0.
