I would like to merge two computers which are in fact the same computer (it happened when I reattached to the project). In other projects, I was able to merge by selecting a computer from the list of computers and click the "merge.." link at the bottom of the page. In this project, there is no link.

Thank you, Anders for your timely response. As you suggested I checked the news and see that the merge feature is currently disabled.

Q. Why is it reported that I have more computers than I actually do? / How do I merge my computers?

A. When you detach and then re-attach to the same project, BOINC assumes that it's a different computer, You can merge these computers so they are one again, Your computers click on the computer you would like merge click Merge this computer (down the bottom of the page).

There is no such link anywhere that says "Merge this computer"!!!
Help!

go here or "your account", "computers-view" from the front page.

select the "computer ID" of the computer in question, scroll to the bottom of the page and a link should normally be there.

They turned it off. Caused the server to have a hissy-fit.

More specifically - from Technical news:
March 22, 2006
Recently our database server has been crushed repeatedly resulting in webserver slowdowns. Tracking all of this down has been a real challenge. This AM it was noticed that during every slowdown someone was trying to 'merge' two client hosts. After eliminating everything else as a possibility we were left to wonder if this merging of hosts could really be a problem. After disasterously wasteful searching of many unrelated issues, it was discovered that SETI@home had this very problem last month (see the entry for February 1, 2006 on the SETI@home Technical News Page). We have disabled host merges until we can upgrade the database software.

Thanks for the input but I don't see a merge computer at the bottom of the page on my comptuers. I'm not trying to be funny but do you have any more suggestions ??

John, host merging is currently disabled. We need to update the MySQL software before we can allow merging once again. We're trying this on RALPH and if all goes well we'll implement the same upgrade here. -KEL

Does anyone have an estimated time frame when the merge computer function will be enabled. My computers really need some spring cleaning.

Yup, me too need cleaning. Got a host thats spawning clones like crazy...

Dr. Baker has committed to having this fixed very soon.

'Merge' is now enabled (Server Upgrade)....Cheers, Rog.

WOOOO00000OOT!!11!!!

Merge and delete works again! Thank you Rosettistas, that is brilliant. :D

Still cannot merge these two hosts
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/host_edit_action.php?id_0=170243&id_1=114836&nhosts=2

They are the same hardware (dual boot)

On configuring DNS servers domain at the root of the forest, I made a mistake,

what resulted in two equal hosts with different names

carlos.cp3
and
carlos

And now, they don't merge -:(

Thanks,

Having the same issue...cannot merge dual-boot single PC? Comp ID >> "merge this computer" >> next page the other OS does not show up...

help please!

Welcome to Rosetta@Home.

To merge computers they have to be exactly the same, this includes the Operating System. So these computers will not merge.

In other projects, I was allowed to merge hosts, even with different
host names, different-OS(s) different RAM and different CPU type

However thats not very important -:)

*Only this masquerades the number of computers I have attached to the project.
