Gee, Wally is down in San Diego bringing his sailboat home, Rick is off somewhere unreachable, and I am going nuts getting ready for the meeting in Boston. So it looks like you may be stuck with me to reply.
VistA does have some links to the rest of the system it is installed on, but they are not many and they are in the Kernel Site Parameter File. So, if the equipment is similar, and there is enough capacity to hold the global file set, should work when relocated to another machine. Some minor adjustment may be required to be done in the Kernel Site Parameter file. Saying that, you might also want to make sure that your clients know about the new home for the data (if that is desired). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bhaskar, KS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 6:21 AM Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Can a configured system be copied toanother machine? > Someone like Wally Fort, Chris Richardson or Rick Marshall may want to > step in with the facts, but as I remember it, when VistA runs on GT.M on > Linux, the machine name as reported by the Linux command "hostname -s". > If that is correct, then yes, you should be able to move your database > files (.dat files), global directory, and routines from one machine to > another simply by copying them (or with a backup, if you want to do this > while VistA is running on the first machine - indeed, you will be doing > something similar next Wednesday). > > Before you move database files, a mupip rundown would be appropriate. > > -- Bhaskar > > On Thu, 2005-03-31 at 16:54 -0800, Kevin Toppenberg wrote: > > If I perform a configuration on machine A, can I copy > > my mumps globals and dat files to machine B and have > > it work? > > > > I used to think no, because I thought that the name of > > the machine was stored somewhere.
