WP11598 Upgrade HWS computer hardware
Jonathan, Erik, TJ, Camilla, Dave:
Yesterday Jonathan and Erik replaced the original h1hwsmsr computer with a spare V1 computer. They moved the bootdisk and the /data RAID disks over to the new computer, and restored the /data NFS file system for the ITMY HWS code (h1hwsmsr1). At the time the new computer was not connecting to the ITMX HWS camera.
This morning Camilla worked on initialized the camera connection and we were at that time able to control and see images from the camera.
This afternoon at 1pm during the commissioning period we stopped the temporary HWS ITMX IOC on cdsioc0 and Camilla started the actual HWS ITMX code on h1hwsmsr. We verified that the code is running correctly, images are being taken, settings were restored from SDF.
During the few minutes between stopping the dummy IOC and starting the actual IOC both the EDC and h1tcshwssdf SDF had disconnected channels, which then reconnected over the subsequent minutes after channel restoration.
Erik is building a new h1hwsex computer and will install it at EX in the next hour.
h1hwsex had crashed and only needed a reboot.
I installed the "new" V1 server as h1hwsey at EY. It's physically connected and running, but is not on the network. It requires some more in-person which we'll do Friday or earlier when out of observe.
I've restarted the camera control software on h1hwsex (ETMX) and h1hwsmsr (ITMX). All the HWS cameras are now off (external trigger mode).
