Change the Server Host

To change the host of a project, the vovserver must be stopped and the host references fixed in the following files:

The setup.tcl file in the server working directory
The registry entry (normally located in $VOVDIR/local/registry/user/)
For Accelerator only, the queue-specific configuration file in the NC_CONFIG_DIR directory (usually $VOVDIR/local/vncConfig)

Change to the server working directory.
1. If the server is still running:
```
% cd `vovserverdir`
```
2. If the server is not running, find the directory:
```
% vovproject list -l | grep projectName
```
If necessary, shut down the server as shown below.
```
% vovproject stop projectName
```
In the server working directory, edit the setup.tcl file and change the value on the line that sets the environment variable VOV_HOST_NAME.
Log onto the new host.
Restart the project on the new host:
```
% vovproject start projectName
```
Clean up the registry. In the directory $VOVDIR/local/registry/user/, locate the file projectName@oldHostName which can be safely removed. There is another registry entry projectName@newHostName which can be kept.

For more information about the registry, refer to VOV Registry.
