Overview V91 Virtualization Server for Windows Operating Systems
Overview
Virtualization is a technology that allows consolidation of multiple servers into a single
physical server. This consolidation into a 2U rack-mounted package consumes fewer
plant resources. The package is easier to install and maintain. It delivers the
technological foundation for high available topologies enabling live migration from
running VMs from one physical server instance to a redundant partner and centralized
management (CVM) of two or more virtualization servers. The V91 Foxboro DCS
Virtualization Server can host up to fourteen Virtual Machines (VM).
The Model V91 Foxboro DCS virtualization server host is a 2U rack-mount server
running the Microsoft Windows Server® 2016 or Microsoft Windows Server® 2022
operating system. In addition, a virtual machine running one of these operating
systems can be used as a Domain Controller for the V91 Model host servers. Through
the use of Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology, the V91 is capable of hosting
virtual machines running these operating systems.
The virtual machines that are supported include:
• Foxboro DCS virtual machines running the Microsoft Windows Server® 2016 with
Control Core Services v9.4 or later and Control Software v7.1 or later on the
Foxboro DCS Control Network
• Foxboro DCS virtual machines running the Microsoft Windows Server® 2022 with
Control Core Services v9.8 or later and Control Software v8.0 or later on the
Foxboro DCS Control Network
• Virtual machines using the Schneider Electric-provided virtual machine operating
system image on networks other than the Control Network
The V91 Server is available with a user-configurable model code.
NOTE: The cover image represents a fully configured server and might show
configuration options (for example, hard disks or PCI cards) that are not part of an
actual product order.
Features
The Model V91 Host Server running Server 2016 or Server 2022 allows for these
features:
• Replication - Replica VMs are automatically created and synchronized to a
replica V91 host (requires 2 or more V91s configured as a replication solution)
• Live Migration - Ability to move an active VM from one host to another with no
disruption to the operator
• Centralized Management - Ability to monitor and maintain one or more V91
Virtualization Servers from a remote location
• NIC Teaming - Provides redundancy at the Virtualization host for off control
networks
• VM Export without shutdown
NOTE: In order to take advantage of Replication, Live Migration, and
Centralized Management, a user-supplied network, referred to as the Virtual
Host Network, and a Server 2016/Server 2022 Active Directory domain are
required. A user-friendly application is provided to simplify the installation and
configuration of this domain.
Other Model V91 Server features include:
• A single or dual processor (each with eight cores), up to 384 GB of memory, up to
eight internal hard drives, redundant hot-swappable power supplies, and optional
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) configurations
• The ability to host up to 14 virtual machines running Microsoft Windows Server
2016 or Microsoft Windows Server 2022. One of the virtual machines can be
configured to run as a Domain Controller for V91 host servers.
• Trellix® Endpoint Security helps provide security on the V91 server
• Security by Local Group Policies to provide additional layer of protection
• Virtual machines on a V91 can:
◦ Be a control processor host and/or provide historization and Foxboro DCS
monitoring functions as a Schneider Electric station
◦ Serve as a Foxboro DCS workstation or Control Core Services application
platform and a human interface station (can open the VM directly)
◦ Function as Remote Desktop Services servers to support up to 30 Foxboro™
DCS FoxView per VM or up to 10 Foxboro™ DCS Control HMI remote clients
per VM with a limit of 60 RDP sessions across all VMs on a V91 server
◦ Support enterprise security Foxboro DCS software with optional Trellix
software package. Trellix Endpoint Security provides additional security
enhancement features to help complement the security features already built
into our products. For stations operating in Local Edition mode, Trellix
Endpoint Security (ENS) provides advanced Threat Prevention. For stations
operating in Enterprise Edition mode, Trellix ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO)
provides all the security of ENS plus Rogue System Detection, Application
Allowlisting, Integrity Control and Device Control for Data Loss Prevention
(DLP). The license entitlement for the first five years after purchase for all of
the listed options is included for the V91 server. After the five years, a renewal
is required with the purchase of the Trellix five year license (J0202AS) for
each V91 server using any Trellix products.
NOTE: Trellix Endpoint Security is included with Model V91, However, it is not
pre-installed/configured on the system. For additional Trellix security
protection options, see Trellix Security Products (PSS 41S-4Trellix).
NOTICE
POTENTIAL SYSTEM VULNERABILITIES
Install and configure EPP on all virtual machines (VMs) to help protect against
system vulnerabilities.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in system vulnerabilities.
The virtual machines hosted by the V91 server connect to the network through
internal virtual switches that map virtual machines to the V91’s physical 1Gb copper /
fiber Ethernet ports. The virtual switch network can be configured to map network
connectivity to:
• The Control Network
• The DCS Auxiliary Communications Network (ACN), a 1Gb network comprised of
managed Ethernet switches
• Other auxiliary networks
A combination of these different network types can be used.
The virtual machine’s network connectivity is configured independently from other
virtual machines hosted by the same V91 server. Each network utilizes a dedicated
physical 1Gb copper / fiber Ethernet port. The Control Network has two dedicated
1Gb Ethernet ports while the DCS Auxiliary Communications Network (ACN) has one
or more dedicated 1Gb Ethernet ports optionally configured to use NIC teaming.
With the exception of the Ethernet network ports, virtual machines cannot access the
V91 physical ports (serial, USB, etc.) Therefore, virtual machines only support
peripherals that are connected through the network, such as thin clients and network
printers. Remote graphics units, GPS time sync cards, and local printers are not
supported on virtual machines. A virtual machine can access the USB annunciator
keyboard through a thin client.
Sizing
• A V91 server can support up to fourteen virtual machines.
• The maximum number of RDP sessions depends on the number and types of
applications being run in the remote sessions. This includes the number of
process control points being updated, number of alarms being delivered, number
of displays open, etc. If your application needs are high, you might find the actual
number of client sessions to be lower. Experimental results indicate that for
planning purposes, the number of RDP sessions per virtual machine cannot
exceed 30 RDP sessions for FoxView VMs and 10 RDP sessions for Control HMI
VMs.
• The total number of RDP sessions across all VMs on a V91 server cannot exceed
60.
Licensing
There are no Foxboro DCS licenses associated with the V91 host itself. However,
each virtual machine must have the proper Foxboro DCS license. Virtual machine
Foxboro DCS licenses are identical to physical machine licenses.
NOTICE
LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY
Do not combine different memory speeds or types (Single Rank/Dual Rank) for
the V91. This causes an error code to appear which prevents you from
completing the operating system installation process.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of functionality.
