Enter number of graphic engines [2]: 2
IP address for engine 1 [192.168.149.1]: 192.168.60.1
Ethernet address for engine 1 [00.00.00.00.00.00]: 00.60.08.a6.a9.58
Screen arrangement for engine 1 (Width x Height) [2x4]: 4x2
Position for engine 1 (X,Y) [0,0]: 0,0
IP address for engine 2 [192.168.149.2]: 192.168.60.2
Ethernet address for engine 2 [00.00.00.00.00.00]: 00.60.08.a6.a9.73
Screen arrangement for engine 2 (Width x Height) [2x4]: 4x2
Position for engine 2 (X,Y) [0,0]: 4,0
Next there is the choice to enable Wake On LAN for the network adapters of the rendering machines. From Re-
lease 3.48 of the X server on PXE can be used to boot the rendering machines. In this case Wake On LAN must be
activated, to enable the rendering machines to boot and reboot reliable. If still the Etherboot mechanism is used
Wake On LAN can also be activated but there is no need to do so.
Please refer to section
for a short explanation of Etherboot and PXE boot mechanism and in case
you activate WOL check also for the appropriate BIOS settings, see section
6.1.9 BIOS settings for Wake On LAN
Engine's boot mode Configuration
--------------------------------
The Engines can be switched on by the Core Machine
by using the WOL (Wake On LAN) facility.
(NB: When using WOL you have to enable WOL
also in the motherboard BIOS)
Do you want to use WOL (yes/no)? [no]: yes
The script lists your settings. Examine the values and confirm them by entering
y
, or enter
n
for repeating the
previous installation steps.
These are your Distributed Server settings
==========================================
- Core machine's second IP: 192.168.149.254
- Engines Netmask Address: 255.255.255.0
- NIC card: 100 Mbit
- Number engines : 2
- Values for engine 1: IP = 192.168.149.1 Ether = 00.60.08.a6.a9.58
arrangement = 4x2 position = 0,0
- Values for engine 2: IP = 192.168.149.2 Ether = 00.60.08.a6.a9.73
arrangement = 4x2 position = 0,0
- WakeOnLAN : Yes
Everything correct? (yes/no)? [yes]: y
Channel reordering
For some installations it is useful to change the order of the projection channels. This can be assigned in the
Channel Reordering section. If you want to reorder the projection channels enter
y
. By entering
n
this section will
be skipped.
X Server's Channel Reordering
=============================
This is the reordering configuration part of the X Server.
It offers the possibility to define the reordering channels section.
The channels section defines the assignment of graphic channels
to projection channels.
Please read the section "X Server Configuration" in the
User's Manual "Eos X Terminal"
Do you want to proceed (yes/no)? [no]: y
The order can be changed only within the rendering machines (graphic engines). First the engine has to be indi-
cated then the graphic channels (default) and the projection channels (new) can be entered. The correlation
between graphic channels and projection channels is explained in section
6.1.6 Advanced Argus configuration
(channels)
. Please have a look there to have a further explanation.
