H2 DAQ

H2 DAQ rack construction 
The H2 DAQ rack is a new style (beige) rack located in the MSR nearest
the hallway. It has two Sun X4270 computers, which will be the H2 DAQ
frame writers/QFS masters.

Cyrus is working on installing sol10 on these systems. He will also test the
DAQ networking switches and spare units using this rack.

We encountered a problem with the rack mount KVM switch in this rack, the internal
power connector to the PCB is flakey. The flatscreen monitor signals this with
a "cable not connected" error and powers itself down.

Both machines are loaded with Sol 10.  h2daqfw1 had some bus errors from one of the PCIe cards on first boot, which I'll have to investigate more closely when I return from vacation after the Jul 4 holiday.  Re-seating cards may help if the issue persists.  Also still to do is add non-root accounts to h2daqfw0/1, configure iLOM, configure the switches in the rack (verifying first that we actually have the correct switches installed), basic network throughput tests, etc.

A current stab at a (test) IP numbering scheme is as follows:
172.17.0.1/24: h2daq test stand

172.17.0.1/28: Routers, switches, gateways
172.17.0.17/28: DAQ Servers

Currently assigned:

172.17.0.1: (Reserved for default route(r), not installed)
172.17.0.18: h2daqfw0
172.17.0.19: h2daqfw1
