Common actions for all machines
- Install latest virtualbox (e.g. from oracle website) with default settings
- virtualbox -> file -> preferences -> display -> set max guest screen size = Hint; width = 1280, Height = 960
Specific machine actions
- copy default thoster: "\\bst_master\THOSTERS\" directory to host -> place thoster to desired disk. min size 500GB
- Change permissions for disk to allow domain users (full access)
- Depending on the network adapter name use either Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller or Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller in .vbox file
- rename folder to new thoster name (allowed names THOSTERX01-THOSTERX40)*. do not make duplications with existing thosters
- run a.vbs (just dbl click) from new thoster folder. ONE THOSTER AT TIME ONLY**
- type new thoster name in dialogbox
- wait for scripts to run. new thoster should restart three times (help system to login using sqlserver credentials). total wait time about 10-15 min. you can check if scripts finished by reading "STEP.TXT" file. If it consists of one string "FIN" then thoster is ready.
- change c:\machines.txt file according to thoster names on the parent machine
- Check \\bst_master\HOST_CONTROL\start bst controller.xml is installed in windows task schedule
- shut down thosters and restart host to see if everything is in order
NOTES:
- run base thoster periodically to update git and to apply manual configuration changes. base thoster located at storage2// on the same disk as TX24, please shut down TX24 before launching TX00. [J:\THOSTERX00]. after updates shut it down and copy all files to storage 2.
- please update *.vbox files from GUI carefully, probably update them manually afterwards, there are "incorrect settings" required for com port tests
- to kill and restore thoster-> delete it from virtualbox GUI, delete all associated file, then just restore by following points 3->7
- you may see reason in a.vbs. update acording to *.lic files avaliable
- problems due to ip/mac conflicts. also do not run while base thoster is running.
