configure pyamicfg for host-ip pairings¶

Feature #4686 was created to handle the case that the computer host default its IP mapping to a card not the one to connect to leginon need.

create the require ip mappings in/etc/hosts (or on Winodows: C:\\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)¶

Create specific host-ip pairing in pyami.cfg¶

1. The template is myami/pyami/pyami.cfg.template in your myami git clone. Copy the template file to your global myami configuration directory. You should know where that is thru this instruction
2. find out the name and ip addresses of the hosts that this computer needs to connect to.
3. rename the copy as pyami.cfg
4. edit pyami.cfg according to the mappings

[my ip map]
my-k3-computer: 192.168.0.1

[other ip map]
my-microscop-computer: 192.168.0.2
my-leginon-computer: 192.168.0.3
my-database-server: 192.168.0.4

Testing¶

If you have done either python setup.py installation or PYTHONPATH mapping to the myami directories, you should be able to test.

On Windows, double click your_myami_clone\pyami\mysocket.py¶

On Linux, type in terminal¶

cd your_myami_clone/pyami
python mysocket.py

If the host ip mapping are correct, you should get [OK] in the tests.

my-k3-computer ip mapping [OK]
my-microscope-computer ip mapping [OK]
my-leginon-computer ip mapping [OK]
my-database-server ip mapping [OK]
