1. Verify that no one is running any versions of USAnimation, Opus or Toon Boom Harmony. All of their nodes must be closed on the server and all the clients.

2. Verify that all batch rendering and vectorizing are completed or that the queues are empty. You can check the status of Vectorize and Render queues from the Control Center module.

3. Stop all services running on the server and the clients. Depending on the services you have running, type the following commands in the order presented:

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_queues stop

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_link_srv stop

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_dbserver stop

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_webcc stop

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_flexlm stop

4. Back up Harmony's configuration files by copying them to a location where you can recover them later. Go to the folder where the previous version of Harmony is installed and back up the configuration files in the etc folder:

Back up the following configuration files:

Manager.conf

Scan.conf (If a scanner was configured to run with the Harmony Scan node on this computer)

server.ini (If the server is configured to receive connections from Windows clients)

VectOptions.conf (If a vectorization preset had been added to it)

If plug-ins were added to the Harmony installation, back up these files as well.

You can back up the entire Harmony folder by renaming it to make sure all config files are kept.

5. Clean the menu. The shortcut to start the previous application should be removed from the menu. There are two ways to do this:

Change to:

cd /usr/share/applnk

Version 7.8 and later: rm ToonBoom-Harmony_*

Version 7.5 and earlier: rm USAnimation-*

The shortcuts will be removed from the menu the next time you log in.

6. Uncompress the distribution file:

tar xvfz [path_to_distribution_file]/[filename].tar.gz

7. Switch to the directory that was extracted from the tar.gz file.

8. Run the install script specifying the options required for your server.
   ./install -b -d -l -p -u -kde

1. If you are not logged in as usabatch, type the following:

su -€ usabatch

2. Open the .cshrc file in usabatch's home:

vi .cshrc

3. Edit .cshrc.

if ( -f /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12/etc/usa_cshrc ) then

source /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12/etc/usa_cshrc

endif

umask 0

4. Save and quit.

Versions 7.8 and 9.2:

source /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony_[version]/etc/usa_cshrc

Version 7.3:

source /usa/etc/usa_cshrc

1. Once the license is properly configured and started, start the Harmony services that are required on your server in the following order:

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_dbserver restart

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_link_srv restart

/etc/init.d/USAnimation_queues restart

2. Check the logs to verify that the services started properly.

/tmp/lmgrd.log

/tmp/tbdbserver.log

/tmp/tbprocess.log

/tmp/Link_srv.log

3. Start Harmony and open a scene to see if the server works properly.

1. Open the file /etc/exports. If it exists, change the path of :
   /usa to /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12

/USA_DB *(rw,sync)

/usadata000 *(rw,sync)

/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 *(rw,sync)

2. Run the following command to apply the change:

/usr/sbin/exportfs -r

3. Test the exports:

/usr/sbin/showmount -e

Export list for [hostname].toonboom.com:

/USA_DB *

/usadata000 *

/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 *

1. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and and change the path under the [usa] share to the path of the new Harmony install.

[usa]

comment = Harmony binaries & stuff

browseable = yes

read only = no

guest ok = no

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

path = /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12

2. Once the file is saved, verify that you have not made any basic syntax errors:

testparm

The shell output should look like this:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

Processing section "[homes]"

Processing section "[printers]"

Processing section "[USA_DB]"

Processing section "[usa]"

Processing section "[usadata000]"

Processing section "[tmp]"

Loaded services file OK.

Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

3. Press Enter to see a dump of your service definitions.

4. Restart smb:

/etc/init.d/smb restart

Verifying the Parameters Required in the smb.conf File

It is always a good idea to verify the configuration of the smb.conf file.

How to verify the parameters required in the smb.conf file

1. Verify the configuration of the smb.conf.

/etc/samba/smb.conf

Parameters needed in the [global] section:

encrypt passwords = no

 

blocking locks = no

oplocks = no

level2 oplocks = no

 

follow symlinks = yes

unix extensions = no

wide links = yes

Default parameters for the shares:

[USA_DB]

comment = Toon Boom Harmony Database

browseable = yes

read only = no

guest ok = no

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

path = /USA_DB

 

[usa]

comment = Toon Boom Harmony binaries & stuff

browseable = yes

read only = no

guest ok = no

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

path = /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12

 

[usadata000]

comment = Toon Boom Harmony data 000

browseable = yes

read only = no

guest ok = no

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

path = /usadata000

2. Always perform a testparm after making changes to the smb.conf.

testparm

3. Restart the smb service.

/sbin/service smb restart

4. Reboot the server, if possible, to verify that all the services are properly started.

5. Once the server is booted, check all the logs to see if the services are running properly.

/tmp/lmgrd.log

/tmp/tbdbserver.log

/tmp/tbprocess.log

/tmp/Link_srv.log
