I have 2 identical indi servers - same version of PI4, same operating system (ubuntu 20.04), same updates, same kernel, same memory etc etc. Different IP
and hostname. First one works perfectly. The other one moves the mount completely wrong - wrong altitude, points west instead of east, swings way past the meridian and in general is completely screwed.
Ive tried lots of things - clearing model, resetting Park position, copying profile.db and Parkdata from working one,
but nothing helps. The only thing that does work is slewing to Park.
Mount HEQ5 with EQmod serial to usb cable.
I don't really want to re-install if possible but maybe that's the only way !
I run system with x86 client talking to each server. Hopefully will get to operate 2 mounts at some stage.
Any ideas out there ?
Cheers,
Nick

Did you verify time + timezone? timedatectl is identical on both?

Hi Jasem. Yes I checked that. TZ London, BST+0100 on both and clocks both synchronised to network.
EKOS reports the correct coordinates in DEC,RA, ALT and AZ.
It was obvious something not correct when I slewed to Mercury and mount moved from Park (DEC 90 degrees and ALT = latitude). I know it's not exactly correct since mount can move a slightly when mounting scope, but final position had weights pointing to sky and slewed a long way past meridian. In any case same mount using same starting position worked fine with other server.
Also used tilt meter to check ALT - about 25 degrees out !
Perhaps I'l just re-install it. Thanks,

Ok I think it's working now. I rsync'ed the whole of the .indi directory from the good server to the bad server and it now looks like it's working. A corrupt file somewhere (not profiles.db and not 'EQMod Mount_config.xml' because I already copied them).
I guess the moral is to backup important configuration files !
