Documentation references regarding the "dev" Stockroom server environment running on an old Dell desktop computer. |
Documentation references useful when Oliver and Lulu refreshed our "dev" Stockroom server environment of both the Linux (WebApp) and Windows (QuickBooks) VMs, both hosted on AS-CHM-SERV-21 Hyper-V server (running on an old Dell desktop computer).
The most important thing to remember is that the "dev" Windows (QuickBooks) VM must NEVER see the "prod" WebApp Linux server. Otherwise the "prod" WebApp will record transactions as successfully copied over and not subsequently get those transactions to the "prod" Windows (QuickBooks) system, for billing. And that would be very, very bad. If that were not enough motivation, if the "dev" Windows (QuickBooks) had a public IP, it may mess up our QuickBooks licensing count with Intuit, compromising our "prod" Windows (QuickBooks) function.
I didn't see anything substantial in SharePoint's "Stockroom Kiosk WebApp" folder, accessible by this URL:
Is there any other documentation on how the VM's networks are configured and/ or "dev" OS's configured, especially non-defaults? Ideally, the directions to take copies of the 2 "prod" VMs and change their configs (at the VM and/ or OS levels) so they can then be started up in "dev". I understand the network must allow the two VM OSes on the same Host to see each other. And the Linux must see CU's KFS (account check) and CU's Kerberos (CUWebAuth), And the Linux must also enable direct access (public IP or VPN only?) by Singlebrook via ssh. Related, I understand that the "dev" Hyper-V host (Windows) is accessed by Brightworks, and that's how they access the Windows (QuickBooks) VM. So no changes are needed there, if that's correct.
