Installation work on the new solaris frame writer (dtsfw1, X4270): Used LSI bios to build RAID1 mirror on the two boot disks (called IM) Installed sol10 from external DVD unit, using ZFS for the boot disk. Created a controls account. Installed Sun Stu-stu-studio 12.1 in /opt/SunStudio, controls account path set to find these binaries. Quick test, compiled a "hello world" C file. Note: /cvs does not want to mount on reboot, so at the moment I'm logging in as root and manually mounting it.
Fired up the DTS X4270 last night and like the one in the MSR it didn't boot solaris, rather gave a "bad PBR" error and then went into PXE boot search mode. This is the Primary Boot Record so does this mean solaris was not pre-installed?
The drawing of the LHO test stands in the staging building and the OSB can be found in the following DCC document: network drawing (pdf file)
Ben rack mounted a X4270 unit immediately above the X2200 systems (nds, etc.) This will become the test frame writer/QFS machine and will run sol10.
Ben also racked up two X4270 machines in the H2 DAQ rack in the MSR, following Rolf's DAQ rack layout drawing.
In keeping with the X1 SYS SUB alog tag convention, the DTS is now tagged "X1 DAQ DTS"
In consultation with Hugh, we decided to change the keyword "X1 seiteststand" with a more accurate "X1 SEI HAM ISI" for the current work going on in the staging building.
The logbook Shibboleth SP has been configured to behave like a wiki. This extends the session time such that users will not need to roundtrip to the IdP longer, and helps with POST requests that might be made across a session boundary. I am also using this entry to test the L-mail feature.
