For this example, we are copying the EGSE from aiaem1a and installing it on aiaem1b.
Tar up the egsesw directory from a machine where the EGSE is already installed.
(The "cvfp" maintains the permissions for the files).
> cd /egsesw
> cd ..
> tar cvfp 20110930_egsesw.tar egsesw
> scp 20110930_egsesw.tar aiaem1b:xfer/
From the machine where you are installing the EGSE, untar the file
> tar xfvp 20110930_egsesw.tar
Open the database (aiaem1a_v00.202) and change the name to the current computer,
or create a symbolic link like this:
> ln -s filename linkname
Copy over the .cshrc file form the old comp and compare it to the current one to get any necessary
environmental variables, etc.
Start the EGSE
> /egsesw/egse/tasks/egse
> dmesg # displays error messages if the command doesn't work
If you get the error "Invalid path format: sesw/egse/tasks/gse_back_proc_mgr", then try
starting the proc manager by hand. You may have to try it twice for some unknown reason.
Testbeds Only:
When we installed this on the aiaem1b (testbed) I ran into the following problem when I tried to
power on the instrument:
aia_startup_fast stopped at aia_load_imgsn.src. So I added a status directory at /egsesw/log/status,
and copied new_IMGNO.usr and old_IMGNO.isr from aiaem1a:/egsesw/log/status to the new status directory.
Then I changed the permissions:
> chmod +x loadseriesno.sh
> chmod +xw new_IMGNO.usr
> chmod +xw old_IMGNO.usr
You have to be careful when doing this because if you don't copy the files back over if you switch
workstations then you will end up having two or more images with the same testbed SN.
