CDS Maintenance Summary: Tuesday 19th March 2019

WP8119 External EDCU install

Dave, Jonathan:

I added h1edc to the DAQ (turned of EDCU on dataconcentrator, replaced EDCU ini in master by H1EDC.ini). Initially it started ok, but kept giving CRC errors at a rate of a couple every 3 or 4 seconds. For now we have backed this out of the DAQ, and reverted to the internal EDCU. h1edc continues to run on h1susauxh34.

WP8118 FE-DAQ Netgear switch upgrade to Brocade

Jonathan, Dave:

I installed the new Brocade switch sw-ey-h1daq in EY. To test it can communicate with the Allied Telesis media converter at MY this was a quick install. Surprisingly when the EY FECs went away, all FECs communicating to the second 10GE card on h1dc0 dropped out (EX and corner ISC). When the new switch was connected, everything came back correctly with no action needed.

For now I've kept the Brocade in place, temporarily sitting on top of the netgear it replaces. On the next TOO (or next TM) I'll rack it up correctly.

BRS BLRMS change to h1pemey

Jim, Dave:

Jim changed h1pemey for BRS BLRMS channel addition. I restarted the model and DAQ.

WP8075 DMT test machine upgrade

Greg, Dan, Dave:

The new DMT test machine was installed today. It is temporarily called h1dmt4, will become h1dmt3. I configured the dmt switch to provide the broadcast lan for this machine.

WP8128 DMT solaris upgrade

Dan:

h1dmtqfs0 was upgraded (OS and QFS) and its SATABOY was rebooted.

WP8115 cdsssh OS upgrade

Carlos:

cdsssh was upgraded from Deb8 to Deb9 first thing this morning.

CER workstation upgrade

Carlos:

The CDS workstation in the CER was upgraded to a portable Zotac, to replace the broken iMac.

A new h1pemcs model was installed, additional channels of the 18bit DAC are being driven by PEM. No DAQ restart was needed.

DAQ Restart

Dave:

The DAQ was restarted twice at 12:09 and 12:35. The first for pemey and h1edc addition, the second for h1edc removal.

It was noticed that the system time on h1ldasgw[0,1] were off, Dan fixed this by syncing to the CDS time servers.

Reboot h1ldasgw0

Dave, Dan:

Dan noticed that h1ldasgw0 was spewing errors on the login console. I stopped h1fw0 daqd and umount /frame-0, Dan rebooted h1ldasgw0. All came back well.
