vx_x_x
, at the unix
prompt on sdsshost say:
setup mcp vx_x_x switchMCPthen reboot the crate; one convenient way to do this is to start iop and say
mcpCrateReset;another is to use
^X
(control-X
) from the mcpMenu.
From within iop, the command mcpVersion
will tell you
the name of the version currently running, the command showMCP
(from iop or the unix prompt) shows which version will run upon reboot.
/p/mcpbase/etc/mcp.login
and follow instructions. The
switchMCP
command doesn't attempt to change this behaviour,
rather it changes the files in the /p/mcpbase
directory.
More specifically, when you say switchMCP
:
/p/mcpbase
are deleted
MCP_DIR
to /p/mcpbase
(MCP_DIR
was set when you said
setup mcp vx_x_x
).
These links specify:
switchMCP
also reads the newly installed
mcp.login
and checks that the correct IP numbers are used for computers such as
sdsshost.apo.nmsu.edu
tcc25m.apo.nmsu.edu
; our
release of vxWorks doesn't know how to use DNS to find these for itself.
