A few limitations make difficult to architect AIM with PI 2023:
No support for NLB
No support for failover cluster
No support for multiple independent AIM instances
As of today, AIM is a single point of failure and so HA is required to prevent global shutdowns.
We are actively working on supporting a redundant architecture for AVEVA AIM System Management Server to eliminate the single point of failure. This enhancement will be shipped as part of AVEVA PI Server 2024 R2, expected in early Q4 2025.
I was shocked to learn that AVEVA Identity Manager (AIM) is a single point of failure. While it is good to hear that be fixed in the future, shame on AVEVA for not implementing such a critical feature from the first release!
Can AVEVA provide a realistic release date? This idea is 10 months old and we have ZERO information other than "In development".
Any foreseen release date on this?
