summary of CDS work, week 8th - 12th

The aligo CDS control room systems and the H2 front end
systems were installed during the week of 
Nov 9th - Nov 12th. Details can be viewed on the
network drawing D1002255 (last page)

Prior to this week I had installed a new rack in the
MSR to support the aligo CDS control room systems. This
rack has a network switch (for the OPS LAN, supports
control room and (L)VEA workstations), a NAT router
to the GC LAN, a new CDS wiki machine, a combined
NFS/DNS file server and an administration machine.
During this week we installed to routers between the
OPS LAN and the H2 FRONTEND LAN, these run the EPICS
gateway, the GDS gateway and the router.

We cloned the DTS boot server and created a new H2
boot server (called h2boot). We moved most of the
front end machines off the DTS system and put them
onto the H2 system. These machines are all located
in the Computer Users Room, next to the DTS.

We reracked the H2 DAQ system into its permanent rack,
but it is temporarily located in the CUR for testing, it
will permanently reside in the MSR.

We are running many H2 front end systems on these machines,
acquiring the data on the H2 DAQ.

We installed three new workstations on the OPS lan and
tested the major client code (dataviewer, dtt, medm)
across the networks.
