 Instructions for setting up the Truegrid Pro NFS server 1.1 on a Windows NT/2000/XP machine:

  1. Download and extract the software from the I&T Online FTP site at: ftp://ftp.slac.stanford.edu/groups/glast/Online/nfs.zip to the target PC's C: drive or copy the c:\NFS1.1 directory from another PC to the target PC.
     
  2. Open up a Command Prompt.
     
  3. Type "C:" and press Enter.
     
  4. Type "cd \NFS1.1" and press Enter
     
  5. Type "mkdir %WINDIR%\ETC" and press Enter.
     
  6. Type "copy EXPORTS %WINDIR%\ETC\EXPORTS" and press Enter.
     
  7. Type "copy RPC %WINDIR%\ETC\RPC" and press Enter.
     
  8. Type "notepad %WINDIR%\ETC\EXPORTS" and press Enter.
     
  9. If the last two lines say: /c -path=c:\ /d -path=d:\ Remove the two lines and replace them with:
    /VxWorks -path=c:\VxWorks\
    Make sure there are no empty lines after the above entry.
     
  10. Save the file and exit Notepad.
     
  11. Type "portmap add" and press Enter.
     
  12. Type "nfs add" and press Enter.
     
  13. Type "nfs start" and press Enter.
     
  14. When using LATTE with a VxWorks crate the following should also be done:

    RunControl by default assumes the default VxWorks host name is "gitot" and expects an entry in the hosts file of the PC. The "hosts" file is located in %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc directory. Edit this file and add a line that says:

    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx     gitot

    Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the SBC on the VxWorks crate.

    Note that you need to stop the Webroot Spysweeper service (if you have it installed) before changing the "hosts" file.
     

  15. If you are running with Windows XP Service Pack 2, follow the instructions below to configure the firewall for the NFS server:
