  • 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
  • copy default thoster: "\\bst_master\THOSTERS\" directory to host -> place thoster to desired disk. min size 500GB
  • 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. 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 machines.txt file according to Setting_up_host_machine
  • 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.
