recovery from extended electrical storm

We think the worst of the storm may be over. I'll let TJ fill in the details, I know of at least three glitches which took down front end models. The first just took out the ISC models at the end stations (suspect timing card power supplies), the second (at 8:40pm) was the biggest and it rebooted every front end computer. After that most front ends came back up after the reboots, h1ioppsl0 had a timing excursion which took about 15 minutes to clear. At that point the only problem was bad DAQ data from both PEM systems at the midstations. A further glitch caused h1ioplsc0 to DAC error, I restarted all the LSC models to clear this.

The Beckhoff slow control machines also rebooted. All code restarted except for the three PLCs at EX. These have just been started.

At time of writing, the only computer issues I see is the bad data from the midstation PEM front end computers to the DAQ. If memory serves, these send their DAQ data back to the end stations via ethernet-fibre_optics converters, and then piggy-back on the main switch-to-switch link to the MSR. Maybe the converters need a power cycle.

Greg is checking if HofT would be fine with invalid mid station PEM channels.

All of LDAS at LHO survived the power glitches.

Data from CDS and the DMT continue to flow and I see H1 raw, trend and low-latency and aggregated hoft arriving on the cluster at LHO and CIT. And the summary pages are up-to-date.

Thus, I think things are fine from the point-of-view of LDAS.

Thus, hoft should be marked as good when H1 gets back into observation mode and ready for low-latency analysis downstream.
