10/2/2003 HPSS interlock problem - mechanical switch on robot. STK field representative bypassed interlock . Went into robot to inspect if all mechanical lights , positioning ok (following up on tape-positioning). Added interface box, so STK can download log, run diagnostics (monitoring tool). Engineering is still reviewing micro-code maybe 1-1.5 week. Terry H. will ordering new media converter boxes, so we should be able to get rid of daq - hpss drop out problem. (Brahms,Phobos) DISK Panassas system will be on-site soon. Beware data files in home directory.. (Star has problem with this, backup does not succeed runs for 12+ hours). LINUX Phenix is getting ready with obj-y before their farm can be updated. - new condor gives autincication & separate 'masters' on same hardware; makes admin better for RCF. Makes queues available too. LSF Jobs being suspended ; load threshold had been put lower to accommodate other queues; suspend-resume did not restart all processes, thus they did not finish. Phenix jobs are all of 'root -b'.. (may be correlated with new version of root). NIS autho. propose to turn off on Nov 3. rmine machines needs upgrade to K5 too. will happen over next short period. Presentation of new crs farm sotfware based on condor. JSF file should be unchanged! see http://www.rhic.bnl.gov/RCF/LiaisonMeeting/20031002/Other/New_crs_mor.ppt for details (or rather overview) ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory tlf: 631-344-4106 fax 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov
