- This is possibly easy, but I've read the man pages and experimented
- enough to be pretty frustrated...
-
- I acquired three apollos (res, ind, cap) from another department.
- These ran with the master registry on res. I want to join these three
- machines to the existing network of four four other apollos (hyd, oxy,
- car, nit) where car holds the master registry.
-
- None of the accounts (or user files) are needed from the old machines.
- It would be "perfect" if I could simply get them to accept that the
- master registry was now on car instead of res. However, the procedures I've
- read seem to involve copying and not replacing master registries. I
- naively hoped stopping glbd on res would "magically" let everyone find
- the new master registery.
-
- Fiddling with rgy_admin and trying to permanently change the master
- (change_master) doesn't seem to work. I get "current master is unknown,
- default host: unspecified". /com/lcnode reports all the above machines
- just fine. They are all catalogued properly (I believe). Right now,
- I've stopped glbd and rgyd on res. This means every log in currently
- uses local registry and fails to find a global server.
-
- What do I need to do to get res, ind, and cap to use car as the registry
- master?
