Hi David,
nmrsave / nmr_restore will pull in IconNMR configurations too.
What I can't say for certain either way is how big a jump in TopSpin
versions will be handled gracefully though. In your case I'm assuming
<=3.5pl7 to >=3.7.0?
I'd be interested to hear other experiences on that particular front too.
Thanks
Geoff

> Subject: [External] [AMMRL] Replacing a host PC for mainly ICON usage #Bruker
Hi all,
I recently wrapped up replacing old CentOS hosts with new Alma PCs. Went
smoothly thanks to all the posts here from others about the various hurdles.
Both of those instruments are setup where everyone has a local system account
and getting accounts on the new PCs was straight forward. My remaining
instrument in pretty much exclusively walk-up ICON usage. I am dreading
this change since it is so many users, all setup within ICON and not local
system accounts, and the instrument is normally used more-or-less all day
everyday. I have put off doing anything with this workhorse for so long it
is actually still embarrassingly running CentOS 5, but it is finally time.
I have had the new Alma PC on my desk for months ready to go and have just
dragged my feet changing it out.
Any advice/experiences/thoughts about replacing a workhorse ICON PC with a
little downtime as possible? One of my biggest concerns is passwords and not
having to coordinate meeting 60 users in the lab to get their passwords setup.
Thanks everyone and happy holidays.
Regards,
David
