<H1>Moving SICS</H1>
<H2> Moving the SICS Server to a new Computer</h2>
<P>
This requires the following steps:
<ol>
<li>Create a new local account on the host computer. There is a
prefabricated account with the credentials: INSTBCK/INSTBCKLNS on
lnsa15.
<li>Run <b>sicsinstall <tt>instrument</tt> </b> in the new instruemnt
account, thereby replacing instrument with the name of the instrument
you are moving.
<li>Create and edit a suitable DataNumber file for the instrument.
<li>Edit the instrument configuration files and adapt the path names
to match the new situation.
<li>Configure the histogram memory to boot from the new computer, se
histogram memory documsntation for instructions how to do that.
<li>Try to start and debug.
</ol>
</P>
<h2>Exchanging the Serial Port Server</h2>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Fetch a new one and make sure that all cables are plugged as
they were in the old one.
<li>Edit the startsics script to start the SerPortServer program with
the name of the new serial port server.
<li>Done!
</ol>
</p>
<h2>Exchanging the Histogram Memory</h2>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Get a new histogram memory computer from either Peter Rasmussen,
the test setup in WHGA/247 or in cases of greatest need, from SLS.
<li>Put into the rack.
<li>Configure the HM boot parameters through the console conneted to
the serial port belonging to the HM. Instructions for this can be
found in the histogram memory documentation.
<li>Include the new HM into the /etc/hosts file of the instrument
computer.
<li>Adapt the instrument configuration file to reflect the new name of
the HM.
<li>Start and debug.
</ol>
