Run 11 preparation meeting #4
1-189, at 19:00 (GMT), duration : 01:00
Minutes:
Attendees:Dmitry A., Leve H., Matt A., Wayne B., Jeff L., Jérôme L., G. Van Buren
Databases [Dmitry]:
- Online backup now using the new NAS system
- Daily backup of all three ports with a retention time of 7 days
- Currently have 2+ TB of space, which is probably more than enough for even 14 days retention
- Potential problem with permissions due to NFS mount and different user IDs on different systems, but not a problem presently
- Email alerts of problems from NAS goes to Wayne & Dmitry
- Flush of online DBs not yet done
- Reasoning is that still in testing at STAR and this can add up to significant amount of data
- ...but we're not sure which test data people will want to keep associated to Run 11
- Decision made to go forward with the flush and not continue waiting for testing to get further along
- NB: ShiftLog (and some other) DBs and tables are skipped in the flush; ShiftLog is already recording for Run 11
- Shift Signup GUI has been re-written
- Demo shown
- Some details of new features still need implementation (working with Jérôme)
- All old features are in place; could replace old codes at any time (pending bug checks)
- Deployment schedule not fixed by any deadlines
- Isolated nodes for FastOffline in Run 11
- Not in place, but Dmitry will write up a config file for this
ShiftLog [Leve]:
- Nothing until new web server
- No progress on new webserver
Online nodes [Wayne & Matt]:
- OS upgrades:
- FTPC and PMDsc done/replaced
- To be done: Bond, EMCsc (coordinate with users), STARUtilities (coordinate with C-AD), EMC01, Beatrice, L3display (Jeff notes the need for QT4 on this node for display programs)
- FUSE now working on all linux pool nodes
- gcc standardized on all linux pool nodes
- Recent rise in instability of the linux pool nodes: several have halted and/or needed rebooted in the past two weeks
- Previous solution of disabling USB controller not helpful for this (that solution is still in effect)
- No obvious environmental changes, but seems likely given the pattern
- These nodes are ~5.5 years old (hard to believe they would show age problems within a couple weeks of each other)
- Similar nodes are in use for offline DBs and not showing problems (located in BCF)
- Newer EVP machine experiencing AFS issues
- Access given to John McCarthy to help diagnose
- OnlinePlots will be switched to use old EVP machine for the time being (Gene & Jeff will arrange)
