1. Starting an Experion PKS installation
1.1 Experion PKS installation modes options
ATTENTION
All installations should be started by first reviewing the Getting Started with
Experion Software Guide (GSG).
The following table assumes you were brought here from the GSG.
ATTENTION
All installations must be performed on an isolated network. The network must
remain isolated until anti-virus protection software is installed. Any network
connectivity during installation is a security risk on networks that have
external connectivity.
Topic Go to
Clean Installation using Unattended Workstation Page 17

Deployment (UWD)
UWD installation is an automated process that installs the Windows
Operating System followed by the Experion PKS Application software.
This is the preferred method that should be used on all Honeywell
qualified machines.
UWD is not intended for systems not purchased from Honeywell. Even
Dell machines purchased from other vendors can contain unqualified
hardware that would cause UWD to fail.
Factory Installations - Experion Nodes Purchased from Page 17

Honeywell
Experion PKS computers purchased from Honeywell come with
Experion PKS software preinstalled. You will use the same task list as
a UWD installation described above, skipping the initial steps that
utilize the EXPPlus and Applications media. Once you begin Factory
Setup, complete all subsequent tasks.
R310.1 Experion Software Installation User's Guide 11

1.2. Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) Online Support
Topic Go to
Manual Clean Installation and OEM Users. Page 29

Manual Clean Installation can be done in two ways.
1) Install OS using EXPPlus Media in OS Only mode, followed by
Experion PKS software using the Application Media or using
Experion Software Installation Server (ESIS) node. For information
on ESIS and how to setup ESIS, refer to the Getting Started with
Experion Software Guide (GSG).
2) Install OS using OEM media and procedures, followed by Experion
PKS software using Application Media or using ESIS node. For
information on ESIS and how to setup ESIS, refer the Getting
Started with Experion Software Guide (GSG). This method is used
if you have purchased a computer from a vendor other then
Honeywell and is defined in the Getting Started with Experion
Software Guide (GSG).
1.2 Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) Online Support

ATTENTION
Accessing the online support site should be done only from a secured PC as
opposed to the installed control system.
TIP
While at the Online Support site, you may also want to review Anti Virus
recommendations and folder exclusions. You will need this information during
the installation. These can be found at,
http://hpsweb.honeywell.com/Cultures/en-

1.3 Recommendations
TIP
The following are TIPS and information that apply throughout this
document. Some of these may also be repeated within this document in
order to emphasize their importance
No. TIP
1 Make a copy of the checklist so that it is easier to keep track of where you are
in the installation process.
2 Several critical functions depend on proper time synchronization. Without the
proper time synchronization, functions like DSA and Controller
communications may not work correctly.
3 If you need help during installation process, refer to the On-Line Help by
selecting the help button for a detailed description of the options on each
screen.

Honeywell 11/07
No. TIP
4 During a reboot sequence the FteImDrv driver will record several Error
Events in the System Event log. These Error Events are expected. The
FteImDrv driver gets loaded before the underlying NIC driver and will not be
able to see the NICs until the E1000 or E100 driver is loaded.
You will see the events from FteImDrv showing the media disconnected
followed by the event that FteImDrv can‟t access the adapter and finally the
event that the media is connected.
This is a normal sequence of Events.
5 Before a T-Node can be used in Experion architecture, you must perform the
steps under Prepare TPN/LCN for Integrated Experion-TPS Nodes in the
Integrated Experion-TPS Nodes (ES-T, ESVT, & ACE-T) User's Guide.

11/07 Honeywell
Anti-virus programs
Before performing an installation, your anti-virus services should be stopped to allow
proper installation of the Honeywell software.
ATTENTION
Make sure that you restart your anti-virus services after you have completed
your installation.
Follow the recommendation in the table below.
If… Then
You are installing a new operating Install your anti-virus software last, after
system, the Experion program installation has
finished.
You are not installing a new operating Use msconfig to turn off all anti-virus
system and you already have anti-virus services and applications under the
software running on your target node, services and startup tab.
These services and applications will need
to be re-enabled and restarted after
installation and/or migration are
complete.
Make sure that your network connections
do not have Internet access or other
communications outside of your internal
network.

recommended that you have no other applications running during the
installation process.
ATTENTION
Before installing your operating system, the hard drive will be re-formatted.
Make sure that you have disconnected any external drives so that those
drives will not be inadvertently re-formatted instead of the internal hard drive.
ATTENTION
If you intend to use ESIS for installing Experion node then ensure that ESIS
node is ready and folder is shared with appropriate permissions.
For details on creating an ESIS node refer to the Getting Started with
Experion Software Guide (GSG)

Adding a book set to a Windows 2000 system

As of the Experion R310.1 Knowledge Builder and Knowledge Builder Tools version
4.5.0.xx, book sets cannot be installed on older Windows 2000 systems. If a user wants
to add an Experion R310.1 or newer book set to an older Windows 2000 system, they
must follow the procedure detailed below.
ATTENTION
Book sets added via the following procedure cannot be “uninstalled”. If
Knowledge Builder is removed from a system that has a book set that was
installed using this procedure, it will remain on the system.
Books sets added via this procedure must be manually removed before
attempting a migration.
Manually copy and paste the desired book set from the Knowledge Builder media and
drop it into the Knowledge Builder server as defined on your system. The following
procedure uses the Experion R301.1 book set as an example.
Step Action
1 Copy the entire book set folder from the Knowledge Builder media.

Honeywell 11/07

5.2. Updating the hosts file
5.2 Updating the hosts file

You must identify the computer name and associated IP address of each Experion PKS
server and Console Station in the hosts file. Both server and client computers require a
modified hosts file with identical entries, so you can edit the hosts file on one
computer and then copy it to each computer in the Experion PKS system.
The hosts file is located in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\, where
%SystemRoot% is normally C:\WINDOWS.
Use any text editing tool, such as Notepad, to edit the file. The file name is hosts
The following server naming conventions is used in the host file examples provided:
Standalone Server network name: SERVER
Redundant Primary Server network name: SERVERA
Redundant Secondary Server network name: SERVERB
Console Station XX network name (where XX = 01 - 10): CSTNXX
The following examples show typical system configurations and the entries that should
be included in the hosts file. The following examples assume that the system contains
two Console Stations. Replace network addresses and network names with value
appropriate for your configuration. Any text following “#” (without quotes) on a single
line is a comment and may be omitted from the hosts file.
Example 1: Standalone (non-redundant Cluster Server system) with Single Link

(Single LAN / FTE)

5.4 Map a drive to the ESIS

This section describes two methods to map a drive to access the ESIS and run Experion
Migration Application and installation software. You must map a drive in the following
cases:
Before you start a migration using the ESIS, you must first map a drive from the
node to be migrated to the ESIS.
If the node migration includes an OS installation, hardware platform change, product
change, or other options, you must recreate the mapped drive to the ESIS on the
node after the OS installation, hardware changes, and other options have been
completed.
Note: Use the same mapping throughout the migration.
TIP
For workgroups, your node must be in the workgroup otherwise, you will have
to re-connect each time the node re-starts.

11/07 Honeywell
To map a drive to the ESIS:
Step Action
1 Verify the current Windows Administrator account passwords for the ESIS
and the node to be migrated are identical, or that a domain based account
has administration of the node plus Read Only status.
If you are unable to verify these passwords,
Use standard Windows procedure to change the Administrator password.
Use the Password Change Utility to change the mngr password. See page
Error! Bookmark not defined. for the procedure.
2 On the node to be migrated, perform either task a or b to create a path to the
ESIS:
a. Map a drive to the ESIS share and select the “Reconnect at Logon”
option.
OR
b. Create a batch file called startup.bat with the following contents:
/USER:<<Domain\User>> <<the user’s password>>
(See examples below.)
Note: The same command line can be used without an account password,
but you will need to enter the password on each system restart.
The following are examples showing the construction of command lines for
the ESIS in domain and workgroup environments:
Domain Example:
ESIS Server Name = MServer
The share you created where the media image is installed = EXP310
The user account is in a domain named = Fred
Username = installer
User‟s password = Strong#%&12
The command line would look like this:
NET USE I: \\MServer\EXP310 /USER:Fred\installer Strong#%&12
Note: If your password contains a line space you must place the password
within quotes (“), such as “Strong #%&12”
Workgroup/Local Account Example:
ESIS Server Name = MServer

Honeywell 11/07
Step Action
The share you created where the media image is installed = EXP310
The node is in a workgroup and you defined an account on MServer =
installer
User‟s password = Strong#%&12
The command line would look like this:
NET USE I: \\MServer\EXP310 /USER:MServer\installer Strong#%&12
Note: If your password contains a line space you must place the password
within quotes (“), such as “Strong #%&12”
Save the Startup.bat file to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start

Menu\Programs\Startup (Assuming the OS is installed on the C drive)
You have completed this task. Return to the checklist or procedure that
