EPICS: HV : ADDING CRATES

2013-10-31T14:27:47Z

129.57.76.91:

* ssh clonioc1
* source ~sytnik/.cshrc_hallb_install

== To add crate to epics db ==

* //not needed, will restart later cioc_cron 0 // to kill ioc
* cd0
* edit in db_generator.cpp
* change: '''NCRATES, slot_mask, slot_types in the following piece:'''

///----------------- CRATES/SLOTS CONFIGURATION FOR IOC ----------------------------

#define NCRATES 1
#define NSLOTS 16
enum {A1535, A1520};
int NCHANNELS[2] = {24, 12};

int slot_mask[NCRATES][NSLOTS]=
{ {1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} };//, // crate 0
//{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} }; // crate 1

int slot_types[NCRATES][NSLOTS]={

{A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535 }//, // crate 0
//{A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535, A1535 }//, // crate 1

};

///-------------------------------------------------------------------------

* g++ -o hv_gen db_generator.cpp

* ./hv_gen // produce hvprod.db
* cioc_cron 2 // to restart ioc

== To add crate to the Qt GUI ==

* qtcreator &

* file >> Open File or Project >> /misc/clas12/epics/qt/epicsqt_v1/hv_control/hv_control.pro
- click "Configure Project"
(next times: file >> Recent Projects >> /misc/clas12/epics/qt/epicsqt_v1/hv_control/hv_control.pro)
* expand "+sources"
* double click mainwindow.cpp to display the file
* In the following piece change: '''board_names_by_crate, board_types_by_crate, hv_crate_names, hv_crate_types'''

Comment: B_HV001_5_P0 stands for
- Hall B
- Crate 1
- slot 5
- all channels (P0)

VXWORKS (from vxWorks prompt):

dsc2UpdateFirmwareAll("/usr/local/clas12/coda/src/rol/firmwares/vmeDSC_firmware_v1_c.bin")

Current firmware: ''vmeDSC_firmware_v1_c.bin''

== Development history ==

First version was developed by James Proffitt and is used in tagger system. It was tested by Sergey Pozdnyakov. Results of tests are presented on the next few slides:

* Width distribution ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.eps eps] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.pdf pdf])

* Threshold distribution ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_thresh_vs_dac.eps eps] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_thresh_vs_dac.pdf pdf])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for JLab Discr. ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for LeCroy 2313 Discr. (for compare) ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

* Resolution of Trailing Edge for JLab Discr. ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Trailing_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Trailing_Edge.eps eps])

Following changes were recommended to make that board suitable for CLAS12:

* remove preamplifiers (at least reduce gain): can be done by not-installing some components; different amplifiers can be installed

* mask outputs

* add test input: directly to digital side

* individual channel thresholds, min 10 mV - real

* add second output connector (or high dense connector ?): yes

* different thresholds for output 1 and output 2 (optional; maybe sacrofise individual threshold, maybe groups of 4 etc)

* individual programmable width step: 8ns -> 4ns, the less the better; max=100ns; non-updating mode

* channel-based output delays for trigger output connector - optional, 500ns max

* 32-channel: will try (backplane board ?)

* fast enough: min 150MHz

* internal delay (20 ns is Ok)

* thermodrift - to be studied

* remove monitor

* not-stop scaler readout - optional

* keep gate/veto (2 inputs)

* OR for trigger output (NIM)

* VME readout: write/read all registers, A32/D64 with DMA

As on October 11, 2007 the possibility of board redesign was discussed with Volker, Chris and Stan Majewski, and we are waiting for Stan's final word.

Nov 16, 2007 James responded, asking for details. Sergey responded to Volker and James.

Apr 16, 2008: waiting for management to find money to pay James to do a job.

June 4, 2008: meeting with James and two Sergey's, first discussion on new design and work schedule.

January 28, 2009: CLON meeting with Chris, decided to refresh the project

June 3, 2009: Ben presented first results with 2-channel populated prototype [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Discriminator_Prototype_Measurements.pdf (pdf)]. Next step will be to give prototype to Sergey P. for testing, sometime in the end of June.

Sep 30, 2009: Sergey Pozdnyakov completed first tests, pictures:

MySQL Usage

2013-10-03T18:54:55Z

129.57.76.91:

To login as root:

ssh root@clondb1
mysql -u root -p

To dump one database or several databases:

??mysqldump --opt db_name > /usr/local/clas/mysql_dump/backup-file.sql
mysqldump --databases db_name1 [db_name2 ...] -u root -p > /usr/local/clas/mysql_dump/my_databases.sql

(always do it as a 'root' so you have sufficient privileges, otherwise it may dump not everything and you will never know !).

To dump one table:

mysqldump database table -h clondb1 -u root -p > tablename.sql

To restore one database:

mysql -u root -p db_name < /usr/local/clas/mysql_dump/backup-file.sql

To restore all databases ('USE <db_name>' statement must be in the file):

mysql -u root -p < /usr/local/clas/mysql_dump/backup-file.sql

To copy database from one server to another:

mysqldump --opt db_name | mysql --host=remote_host -C db_name

To dump all databases:

mysqldump --all-databases > /usr/local/clas/mysql_dump/all_databases.sql

NOTE: there is a script '/database/dumpdb' (obtained from Bryan Hess and adjusted) which is running from cron job,
it is dumping all databases from clondb1 to /mysql/clondb1_dump/ directory on fileserver. See usage inside the script.

To dump binary log file contents (example):

mysqlbinlog clondb1-bin.000360

To create new database (example):

mysql> create database clasdb;

To delete database (example):

mysql> drop database clasdb;

To creating new table (example):

create table clonalarm(
alarm_id integer not null,
alarm_status integer default NULL,
alarm_time date default NULL,
system char(20) default NULL,
alarm_text varchar(120) default NULL,
help_id integer default NULL
)\g

To import data from ASCII file into existing table use 'mysqlimport' (example):

mysqlimport -u root -p clasprod ./clonalarm.txt

where 'clasprod' is database name and 'clonalarm.txt' is file in /database directory.
File name must coinside with table name !

To autorize 'clasrun' access from clon10.jlab.org to 'clas_online' database do following:

mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,LOCK TABLES ON clas_online.* TO clasrun@clon10.jlab.org;
mysql> flush privileges;

Other example:

mysql> grant all on clas_online.* to clasrun@clon10.jlab.org identified by 'your_mysql_user_password';
mysql> flush privileges;

To grant all privileges, including 'grant' privilege, to 'root' do following:

mysql> grant all on *.* to root@clonweb.jlab.org identified by '********' with grant option;
mysql> flush privileges;

To revoke access, do following:

revoke all on clas_online.* from clasrun@clon10.jlab.org;
mysql> flush privileges;

For example if 'clasrun' want to assess 'test' database on 'clondb1' from remote host, it should use following commands:

mysql -h clondb1 -u clasrun
mysql> use clasprod;
mysql> show tables;
mysql> describe clonalarm;
mysql> select * from clonalarm;
mysql> quit

For example if 'clasrun' want to modify 'clasprod' database on 'clondb1' from remote host and change field 'configuration' in table 'run_log_begin', it should use following commands:

mysql -h clondb1 -u clasrun
mysql> use clasprod;
mysql> UPDATE run_log_begin SET configuration''PROD' WHERE run=xxxxx;
mysql> quit

Linux Installation Procedure

2013-09-26T17:36:38Z

129.57.76.91: /* RHEL5 */

== RHEL6 ==

Installed using CD provided by Computer Center. Requires MAC address to be registered with Computer Center (using jnet.jlab.org as 'boiarino') because it is network-based installation.

'''NOTE: all disks will be reformatted in a process, all information will be lost !'''

Dialog:

* boot: <enter>

* ...[D]esktop: <enter>

* root password: enter root password

* admin user: boiarino

Installation will proceed. When prompted, remove installation disk and reboot machine if not done automatically. After reboot patching process will be started and it will take a while, do not interrupt it, otherwise system will not be installed correctly.

== RHEL5 ==

Installed using CD provided by Computer Center. Requires MAC address to be registered with Computer Center (email to helpdesk@jlab.org) because it is network-based installation.

Dialog:

* boot: <enter>

* ...[D]esktop: Server (it is ignored, will do Desktop anyway ...)

* root password: enter root password

* system user: <enter>

* manually partition disk: 100MB /boot, 2048 etc MB swap, the rest /.

'''CFENGINE''': there are procesess restoring some system config files (in particular ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'') in according to the Computer Center - maintained templete. To shut them down: (1) comment out ''cfengine''-related stuff in root cronjobs; (2) do ''/etc/init.d/cfengine stop''; (3) do ''chkconfig cfengine off''. Ask CC (Sherman White, Paul Letta) to fix templete.

Run ''/usr/bin/system-config-authentication'' and set NIS servers list as ''clon00,clon10,nis1''.

Add following in the end of ''/etc/passwd'':
clasrun:x:2508:9998:Online DAQ:/home/clasrun:/bin/tcsh
clas12run:x:6007:146:clas12run Account:/home/clas12run:/bin/tcsh

nagios::9997:nagios

Create ''/etc/shadow'' files with entries for users clasrun, epics and nagios (copy from another machine).

Install updates: normally all updates should be installed by now, it can be done manually by commands
yum list updates
yum update

Configure [[SSH]].

Install missing packages:
yum install openmotif-devel xinetd mysql-devel cmake

Some additional packages on request (for EPICS):

yum install mc lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel giflib-devel

Proceed to the [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]].

'''PROBLEMS''':

1. /usr/lib/libg2c.so link is missing

FIXED ??? 2. /usr/lib/libXm.so link is missing

3. Created /etc/shadow file for clasrun, epics and nagios

== RHEL4 ==

Get RHEL4 CDs from Paul Letta.

Connect terminal, keyboard and mouse.

Boot from CD1. Follow instructions. When asked, choose following options:

* Choose 'Manually partition with Disk Druid', set /boot to 100MB, then / to 40GB, then swap to 8192MB or at least double memory size. The rest of disk can be set as /space.

* Network: choose manually, type clonpc2.jlab.org; click 'EDIT', deactivate 'Configure using DHCP',
type IP address and netmask (255.255.255.0), click Ok.
Type Gateway (for example 129.57.167.99) and 3 DNS servers (129.57.167.5,129.57.167.14,129.57.32.100).

* Choose 'No firewall'

* Disable 'SELinux'

* Choose 'Customize software packages to be installed', click 'Everything'.

You will be asked to install CD2, CD3 and CD4, then CD1 again.
Then you will be asked to click 'Reboot'. First remove CD, then click 'Reboot'.
You will be asked few more questions. When asked to activate service, choose
'Tell me why I need to register ..' and click 'Next'. Choose 'I can not complete registration ..'
and click 'Next'. You will see 'System user' screen, click 'Use network login..'.
Choose 'Enable NIS support' and click 'Configure NIS'. Type NIS Domain: 'CCCHP' and NIS Server: clon00.jlab.org.
Finish installation process.

* fix files ''/etc/passwd'', ''/etc/shadow'' and ''/etc/group'' adding clasrun etc (see examples on another machines).

'''NOTE''': if machine has multiple network ports, Linux may not assign them properly to specified IP names and addresses. If problem occures, open network GUI and delete all existing records. After that, click ''New'' and pick hadrware port you want to configure from the list of available ports (tricky part is to know which RJ-45 connector corresponds to which port ..). Configure and activate it, make sure it works. Repeat for other ports. Results will be stored in directory ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'', file names will be ''ifcfg-eth0'', ''ifcfg-eth1'' etc. If modifying those files manually, restart network by ''/etc/init.d/network restart''. Finally, set routing, for example for ''clonmon'' command ''route -n'' shows following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
129.57.160.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.68.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.64.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
Run following commands:
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.160.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.160.5 dev eth1
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.68.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.68.26 dev eth3
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.69.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.69.206 dev dev5937
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.64.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.64.57 dev eth0
Now ''route -n'' shows following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
129.57.160.0 129.57.160.5 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.160.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.68.0 129.57.68.26 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.68.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.69.0 129.57.69.206 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.64.0 129.57.64.57 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
129.57.64.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
In that example automount will do configured using ''clonmon-daq1'' interface, because default ''clonmon'' interface is on external subnet. To make that routing table permanent (retore it after reboot) I tried to add four files with following contents to the ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'' directory:
route-eth1:
GATEWAY0=129.57.160.5
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.160.0
route-eth3:
GATEWAY0=129.57.68.26
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.68.0
route-dev5937:
GATEWAY0=129.57.69.206
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.69.0
route-eth0:
GATEWAY0=129.57.64.57
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.64.0
It did not worked. Then I added four ''/sbin/route add ..'' lines to ''/etc/rc.local'' script, and it worked.

From now on you can use remote 'ssh' connection.

* To configure your system to use the patch server, issue the following commands as root:
# mount jlabsite:/site /mnt
# /mnt/CC/linux/satellite-connect --patchall
The script will prompt you for an activation key, but if you don't know what this is, just hit ENTER and it will use a sensible default. Depending on how many patches need to be applied to your system to bring it up to the current level, this script may take a very long time to run. When it finishes, you should reboot your machine to make the new patches take effect.

To install updates later run ''up2date -uf'' as ''root''.

Configure [[SSH]].

* Proceed with [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]] if applicable.

To boot Linux in single user mode (no graphics), add ''single'' to the end of boot line during boot process.

== '''background info''' ==

'''Add startup script'''

Create script in ''/etc/init.d/'' directory (use existing scripts as example). Must have a line like
# chkconfig: - 91 09
which specifies start and stop order. Run commands
chkconfig --add <scriptname>
chkconfig --level 3 <scriptname> on
for every level you want that script to be executed (usualy 3 and/or 4 and/or 5). Check if it os done using command
chkconfig --list | grep <scriptname>

'''xxx'''

You can choose to download the RHEL operating system directly from the Red Hat Web site and not receive a media kit from HP containing the software. This scenario occurs when the media option AJR is deselected from the order. (The media kit option is always selected by default. )

It is necessary to register at the Red Hat Web site prior to download. Registration requires the activation code that each customer receives from HP when ordering either RHEL.

You can download RHEL for each available platform as four CD ISO images or one DVD ISO image.

Use the following procedure to download RHEL and create the installation media:

1.

Register and log in at the following Red Hat Web site:

www.redhat.com/rhn
2.

Click on channels and then select Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v.4 for 64–bit Intel Itanium).
3.

Select Downloads and then download the ISO images of install, compatibility and source disks

Files with ia64 in the name are for the Itanium platform.
4.

Create the CDs or a DVD from the ISO images.

IMPORTANT: Create the CDs or DVD using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the CDs or DVD by burning the .iso files themselves to CD or DVD. For example, if you are using K3b to burn a CD, click Tools>CD>Burn CD Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.

'''Bootup scripts''' for example for level 5 execution (multiuser with X):

cp <script-file> /etc/init.d/
chmod +x /etc/init.d/<script-file>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S50<scriptfile>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K50<scriptfile>

'''Changing hostname/IP address'''

Changing hostname on RHEL
1. Change the HOSTNAME line in /etc/sysconfig/network
2. Change the hostname (FQDN and alias) in /etc/hosts
3. Run '/bin/hostname new_hostname' for the hostname change to take effect immediately.
4. Run '/sbin/service syslog restart' for syslog to log using the new hostname.
A reboot is not required to change the system hostname.

IP address: You have to change the IP address entry in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

Linux Customization on CLON Cluster

2013-09-10T15:19:38Z

129.57.76.91:

Following steps must be performed to complain with CLON Cluster requirements:

'''1. Automount'''

* Include machine name into [[clonfs1]] export list

* Add/Modify [[automounts]]-related files in '/etc' directory (or copy them from similar machine) and symbolic links. Restart automount service:

/etc/init.d/autofs restart

NOTE: To mount temporary ''iso'' images use command:

mkdir /mnt/isoimage
mount -o loop -t iso9660 blablabla.iso /mnt/isoimage

* (ON RHEL5 DO ''yum install mysql-devel''): perform [[MySQL Installation]]

* install [[Scons]] (needed for example by evio compilation)

* for EPICS machines: copy /etc/sudoers

* Install required [[Tcl/Tk]] packages

* Install required [[PERL]] modules

* DO NOT NEED ON RHEL5: activate [[Ntp]] service (by default it is disabled, at least in RHEL4)

* Proceed with SUN's [[JAVA installation]] (default one is IBM's and our stuff is not compiling; besides all Sun machines have Sun's JAVA and we want to have the same version everywhere).

* install [[UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies)]] - related software

* configure printers (see [[Troubleshooting printing]])

* configure [[X server]] if your machine has display(s)

* setup [[Nrpe]]

== '''Solaris''' ==

Solaris automounts on CLON cluster controls by following files:

'''/etc/auto_master'''

/- /etc/auto_direct
/- auto_direct.ep
/u auto.u.ep
/w auto.w.ep

''Specific for mounting Computer Center /w areas at higher speed:''

instead of line

Linux Installation Procedure

2013-09-10T14:04:53Z

129.57.76.91: /* RHEL5 */

== RHEL6 ==

Installed using CD provided by Computer Center. Requires MAC address to be registered with Computer Center (using jnet.jlab.org as 'boiarino') because it is network-based installation.

'''NOTE: all disks will be reformatted in a process, all information will be lost !'''

Dialog:

* boot: <enter>

* ...[D]esktop: <enter>

* root password: enter root password

* admin user: boiarino

Installation will proceed. When prompted, remove installation disk and reboot machine if not done automatically. After reboot patching process will be started and it will take a while, do not interrupt it, otherwise system will not be installed correctly.

== RHEL5 ==

Installed using CD provided by Computer Center. Requires MAC address to be registered with Computer Center (email to helpdesk@jlab.org) because it is network-based installation.

Dialog:

* boot: <enter>

* ...[D]esktop: Server (it is ignored, will do Desktop anyway ...)

* root password: enter root password

* system user: <enter>

* manually partition disk: 100MB /boot, 2048 etc MB swap, the rest /.

'''CFENGINE''': there are procesess restoring some system config files (in particular ''/etc/ssh/sshd_config'') in according to the Computer Center - maintained templete. To shut them down: (1) comment out ''cfengine''-related stuff in root cronjobs; (2) do ''/etc/init.d/cfengine stop''; (3) do ''chkconfig cfengine off''. Ask CC (Sherman White, Paul Letta) to fix templete.

Run ''/usr/bin/system-config-authentication'' and set NIS servers list as ''clon00,clon10,nis1''.

Add following in the end of ''/etc/passwd'':

Create ''/etc/shadow'' files with entries for users clasrun, epics and nagios (copy from another machine).

Install updates: normally all updates should be installed by now, it can be done manually by commands
yum list updates
yum update

Configure [[SSH]].

Install missing packages:
yum install openmotif-devel xinetd mysql-devel

Some additional packages on request (for EPICS):

yum install mc lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel giflib-devel

Proceed to the [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]].

'''PROBLEMS''':

1. /usr/lib/libg2c.so link is missing

FIXED ??? 2. /usr/lib/libXm.so link is missing

3. Created /etc/shadow file for clasrun, epics and nagios

== RHEL4 ==

Get RHEL4 CDs from Paul Letta.

Connect terminal, keyboard and mouse.

Boot from CD1. Follow instructions. When asked, choose following options:

* Choose 'Manually partition with Disk Druid', set /boot to 100MB, then / to 40GB, then swap to 8192MB or at least double memory size. The rest of disk can be set as /space.

* Network: choose manually, type clonpc2.jlab.org; click 'EDIT', deactivate 'Configure using DHCP',
type IP address and netmask (255.255.255.0), click Ok.
Type Gateway (for example 129.57.167.99) and 3 DNS servers (129.57.167.5,129.57.167.14,129.57.32.100).

* Choose 'No firewall'

* Disable 'SELinux'

* Choose 'Customize software packages to be installed', click 'Everything'.

You will be asked to install CD2, CD3 and CD4, then CD1 again.
Then you will be asked to click 'Reboot'. First remove CD, then click 'Reboot'.
You will be asked few more questions. When asked to activate service, choose
'Tell me why I need to register ..' and click 'Next'. Choose 'I can not complete registration ..'
and click 'Next'. You will see 'System user' screen, click 'Use network login..'.
Choose 'Enable NIS support' and click 'Configure NIS'. Type NIS Domain: 'CCCHP' and NIS Server: clon00.jlab.org.
Finish installation process.

* fix files ''/etc/passwd'', ''/etc/shadow'' and ''/etc/group'' adding clasrun etc (see examples on another machines).

'''NOTE''': if machine has multiple network ports, Linux may not assign them properly to specified IP names and addresses. If problem occures, open network GUI and delete all existing records. After that, click ''New'' and pick hadrware port you want to configure from the list of available ports (tricky part is to know which RJ-45 connector corresponds to which port ..). Configure and activate it, make sure it works. Repeat for other ports. Results will be stored in directory ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'', file names will be ''ifcfg-eth0'', ''ifcfg-eth1'' etc. If modifying those files manually, restart network by ''/etc/init.d/network restart''. Finally, set routing, for example for ''clonmon'' command ''route -n'' shows following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
129.57.160.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.68.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.64.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
Run following commands:
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.160.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.160.5 dev eth1
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.68.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.68.26 dev eth3
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.69.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.69.206 dev dev5937
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.64.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.64.57 dev eth0
Now ''route -n'' shows following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
129.57.160.0 129.57.160.5 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.160.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.68.0 129.57.68.26 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.68.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.69.0 129.57.69.206 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dev5937
129.57.64.0 129.57.64.57 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
129.57.64.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
In that example automount will do configured using ''clonmon-daq1'' interface, because default ''clonmon'' interface is on external subnet. To make that routing table permanent (retore it after reboot) I tried to add four files with following contents to the ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'' directory:
route-eth1:
GATEWAY0=129.57.160.5
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.160.0
route-eth3:
GATEWAY0=129.57.68.26
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.68.0
route-dev5937:
GATEWAY0=129.57.69.206
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.69.0
route-eth0:
GATEWAY0=129.57.64.57
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.64.0
It did not worked. Then I added four ''/sbin/route add ..'' lines to ''/etc/rc.local'' script, and it worked.

From now on you can use remote 'ssh' connection.

* To configure your system to use the patch server, issue the following commands as root:
# mount jlabsite:/site /mnt
# /mnt/CC/linux/satellite-connect --patchall
The script will prompt you for an activation key, but if you don't know what this is, just hit ENTER and it will use a sensible default. Depending on how many patches need to be applied to your system to bring it up to the current level, this script may take a very long time to run. When it finishes, you should reboot your machine to make the new patches take effect.

To install updates later run ''up2date -uf'' as ''root''.

Configure [[SSH]].

* Proceed with [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]] if applicable.

To boot Linux in single user mode (no graphics), add ''single'' to the end of boot line during boot process.

== '''background info''' ==

'''Add startup script'''

Create script in ''/etc/init.d/'' directory (use existing scripts as example). Must have a line like
# chkconfig: - 91 09
which specifies start and stop order. Run commands
chkconfig --add <scriptname>
chkconfig --level 3 <scriptname> on
for every level you want that script to be executed (usualy 3 and/or 4 and/or 5). Check if it os done using command
chkconfig --list | grep <scriptname>

'''xxx'''

You can choose to download the RHEL operating system directly from the Red Hat Web site and not receive a media kit from HP containing the software. This scenario occurs when the media option AJR is deselected from the order. (The media kit option is always selected by default. )

It is necessary to register at the Red Hat Web site prior to download. Registration requires the activation code that each customer receives from HP when ordering either RHEL.

You can download RHEL for each available platform as four CD ISO images or one DVD ISO image.

Use the following procedure to download RHEL and create the installation media:

1.

Register and log in at the following Red Hat Web site:

www.redhat.com/rhn
2.

Click on channels and then select Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v.4 for 64–bit Intel Itanium).
3.

Select Downloads and then download the ISO images of install, compatibility and source disks

Files with ia64 in the name are for the Itanium platform.
4.

Create the CDs or a DVD from the ISO images.

IMPORTANT: Create the CDs or DVD using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the CDs or DVD by burning the .iso files themselves to CD or DVD. For example, if you are using K3b to burn a CD, click Tools>CD>Burn CD Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.

'''Bootup scripts''' for example for level 5 execution (multiuser with X):

cp <script-file> /etc/init.d/
chmod +x /etc/init.d/<script-file>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S50<scriptfile>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K50<scriptfile>

'''Changing hostname/IP address'''

Changing hostname on RHEL
1. Change the HOSTNAME line in /etc/sysconfig/network
2. Change the hostname (FQDN and alias) in /etc/hosts
3. Run '/bin/hostname new_hostname' for the hostname change to take effect immediately.
4. Run '/sbin/service syslog restart' for syslog to log using the new hostname.
A reboot is not required to change the system hostname.

IP address: You have to change the IP address entry in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

Create ''/etc/shadow'' files with entries for users clasrun, epics and nagios (copy from another machine).

Install updates: normally all updates should be installed by now, it can be done manually by commands
yum list updates
yum update

Configure [[SSH]].

Install missing packages:
yum install openmotif-devel xinetd mysql-devel

Some additional packages on request (for EPICS):

yum install mc lapack lapack-devel blas blas-devel giflib-devel

For evio:

yum install expat expat-devel (by default ???)

Proceed to the [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]].

'''PROBLEMS''':

1. /usr/lib/libg2c.so link is missing

FIXED ??? 2. /usr/lib/libXm.so link is missing

3. Created /etc/shadow file for clasrun, epics and nagios

== RHEL4 ==

Get RHEL4 CDs from Paul Letta.

Connect terminal, keyboard and mouse.

Boot from CD1. Follow instructions. When asked, choose following options:

* Choose 'Manually partition with Disk Druid', set /boot to 100MB, then / to 40GB, then swap to 8192MB or at least double memory size. The rest of disk can be set as /space.

* Network: choose manually, type clonpc2.jlab.org; click 'EDIT', deactivate 'Configure using DHCP',
type IP address and netmask (255.255.255.0), click Ok.
Type Gateway (for example 129.57.167.99) and 3 DNS servers (129.57.167.5,129.57.167.14,129.57.32.100).

* Choose 'No firewall'

* Disable 'SELinux'

* Choose 'Customize software packages to be installed', click 'Everything'.

You will be asked to install CD2, CD3 and CD4, then CD1 again.
Then you will be asked to click 'Reboot'. First remove CD, then click 'Reboot'.
You will be asked few more questions. When asked to activate service, choose
'Tell me why I need to register ..' and click 'Next'. Choose 'I can not complete registration ..'
and click 'Next'. You will see 'System user' screen, click 'Use network login..'.
Choose 'Enable NIS support' and click 'Configure NIS'. Type NIS Domain: 'CCCHP' and NIS Server: clon00.jlab.org.
Finish installation process.

* fix files ''/etc/passwd'', ''/etc/shadow'' and ''/etc/group'' adding clasrun etc (see examples on another machines).

'''NOTE''': if machine has multiple network ports, Linux may not assign them properly to specified IP names and addresses. If problem occures, open network GUI and delete all existing records. After that, click ''New'' and pick hadrware port you want to configure from the list of available ports (tricky part is to know which RJ-45 connector corresponds to which port ..). Configure and activate it, make sure it works. Repeat for other ports. Results will be stored in directory ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'', file names will be ''ifcfg-eth0'', ''ifcfg-eth1'' etc. If modifying those files manually, restart network by ''/etc/init.d/network restart''. Finally, set routing, for example for ''clonmon'' command ''route -n'' shows following:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
129.57.160.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
129.57.68.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth3
129.57.69.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 dev5937

0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
Run following commands:
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.160.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.160.5 dev eth1
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.68.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.68.26 dev eth3
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.69.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.69.206 dev dev5937
/sbin/route add -net 129.57.64.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 129.57.64.57 dev eth0
Now ''route -n'' shows following:

0.0.0.0 129.57.68.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth3
In that example automount will do configured using ''clonmon-daq1'' interface, because default ''clonmon'' interface is on external subnet. To make that routing table permanent (retore it after reboot) I tried to add four files with following contents to the ''/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts'' directory:
route-eth1:
GATEWAY0=129.57.160.5
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.160.0
route-eth3:
GATEWAY0=129.57.68.26
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.68.0
route-dev5937:
GATEWAY0=129.57.69.206
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.69.0
route-eth0:
GATEWAY0=129.57.64.57
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
ADDRESS0=129.57.64.0
It did not worked. Then I added four ''/sbin/route add ..'' lines to ''/etc/rc.local'' script, and it worked.

From now on you can use remote 'ssh' connection.

* To configure your system to use the patch server, issue the following commands as root:
# mount jlabsite:/site /mnt
# /mnt/CC/linux/satellite-connect --patchall
The script will prompt you for an activation key, but if you don't know what this is, just hit ENTER and it will use a sensible default. Depending on how many patches need to be applied to your system to bring it up to the current level, this script may take a very long time to run. When it finishes, you should reboot your machine to make the new patches take effect.

To install updates later run ''up2date -uf'' as ''root''.

Configure [[SSH]].

* Proceed with [[Linux Customization on CLON Cluster]] if applicable.

To boot Linux in single user mode (no graphics), add ''single'' to the end of boot line during boot process.

== '''background info''' ==

'''Add startup script'''

Create script in ''/etc/init.d/'' directory (use existing scripts as example). Must have a line like
# chkconfig: - 91 09
which specifies start and stop order. Run commands
chkconfig --add <scriptname>
chkconfig --level 3 <scriptname> on
for every level you want that script to be executed (usualy 3 and/or 4 and/or 5). Check if it os done using command
chkconfig --list | grep <scriptname>

You can choose to download the RHEL operating system directly from the Red Hat Web site and not receive a media kit from HP containing the software. This scenario occurs when the media option AJR is deselected from the order. (The media kit option is always selected by default. )

It is necessary to register at the Red Hat Web site prior to download. Registration requires the activation code that each customer receives from HP when ordering either RHEL.

You can download RHEL for each available platform as four CD ISO images or one DVD ISO image.

Use the following procedure to download RHEL and create the installation media:

1.

Register and log in at the following Red Hat Web site:

www.redhat.com/rhn
2.

Click on channels and then select Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v.4 for 64–bit Intel Itanium).
3.

Select Downloads and then download the ISO images of install, compatibility and source disks

Files with ia64 in the name are for the Itanium platform.
4.

Create the CDs or a DVD from the ISO images.

IMPORTANT: Create the CDs or DVD using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the CDs or DVD by burning the .iso files themselves to CD or DVD. For example, if you are using K3b to burn a CD, click Tools>CD>Burn CD Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.

'''Bootup scripts''' for example for level 5 execution (multiuser with X):

cp <script-file> /etc/init.d/
chmod +x /etc/init.d/<script-file>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S50<scriptfile>
ln -s /etc/init.d/<scriptfile> /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K50<scriptfile>

'''Changing hostname/IP address'''

Changing hostname on RHEL
1. Change the HOSTNAME line in /etc/sysconfig/network
2. Change the hostname (FQDN and alias) in /etc/hosts
3. Run '/bin/hostname new_hostname' for the hostname change to take effect immediately.
4. Run '/sbin/service syslog restart' for syslog to log using the new hostname.
A reboot is not required to change the system hostname.

IP address: You have to change the IP address entry in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

We are using 'github' as our online code management. It is owned by Sergey Boyarinov and managed from the site 'github.com' which username boiarino17.
There are three repositories: '''coda''', '''clon''' and '''epics'''.

To use it clon clon machines, proxy have to be set by following command:

git config --global http.proxy jprox.jlab.org:8081

To get repository (for example '''coda''') use following command:

git clone https://github.com/boiarino17/coda

Command ''git pull'' can be used to get files from repository.

Use following to add all files locally, usually used once initially.
git add .
git commit -a -m "first commit"

Removing files/directories example:

git rm src/bosio/bosio.s/SCCS/*
git commit src/bosio/bosio.s/
git push

Use ''git commit'' command to check in locally, and ''git push'' to check into repository.

Clonfs1

2013-08-30T17:54:59Z

129.57.76.91:

Clonfs1 is the main file server for the clon cluster. It holds /home, /local etc directories for all clon machines. It can be managed using link http://clonfs1/na_admin/. Its ''/etc'' directory and volumes are mounted on clon00 and clon10 under ''/mnt/admin''.

'''NOTE''': if exporting ''hostname'' is not registered officially (does not recognized by ''nslookup''), it must be described in clonfs1's ''/etc/hosts'' file !

'''NOTE''': after changing ''/etc/netgroup'' or ''/etc/exports'' (see below) do ''ssh root@clonfs1'' and execute command ''exportfs -a''. If not exported, try following trick: add some existing machine (clon10 for example) to the ''/etc/exports'' to all entries, and do ''exportfs -a''. Next time change clon10 to clon00, and so on.

Clonfs1 has following volumes:

'''apps (backup by CC)''' - contains machine-dependent packages not installed into /usr/local area

'''archives (backup by CC)''' - contains occupancy/recon plots and other files we want to preserve

'''clas (backup by CC)''' - contains clas-specific contents (''/usr/clas/parms'', ''/usr/clas/devel'' etc)

'''clas12 (backup by CC)''' - contains clas12-specific contents (''parms'', ''coda'' etc)

'''clonweb (backup by CC)''' - directory mounted on ''clonweb'' machine as ''/www''

'''clonwiki (backup by CC)''' - directory mounted on ''clonwiki'' machine as ''/wiki''

'''downloads (backup by CC)''' - contains various downloaded files

'''home (backup by CC)''' - contains home directories for all clon users

'''local (backup by CC)''' - contains machine-dependent /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib etc directories for various operating systems used on clon machines

'''logs''' - contains log files from various clon systems

'''mysql (backup by CC)''' - contains backups from mysql server machine(s)

== Development history ==

First version was developed by James Proffitt and is used in tagger system. It was tested by Sergey Pozdnyakov. Results of tests are presented on the next few slides:

* Width distribution ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.eps eps] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.pdf pdf])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for JLab Discr. ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for LeCroy 2313 Discr. (for compare) ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

* Resolution of Trailing Edge for JLab Discr. ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Trailing_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Trailing_Edge.eps eps])

Following changes were recommended to make that board suitable for CLAS12:

* remove preamplifiers (at least reduce gain): can be done by not-installing some components; different amplifiers can be installed

* mask outputs

* add test input: directly to digital side

* individual channel thresholds, min 10 mV - real

* add second output connector (or high dense connector ?): yes

* different thresholds for output 1 and output 2 (optional; maybe sacrofise individual threshold, maybe groups of 4 etc)

* individual programmable width step: 8ns -> 4ns, the less the better; max=100ns; non-updating mode

* channel-based output delays for trigger output connector - optional, 500ns max

* 32-channel: will try (backplane board ?)

* fast enough: min 150MHz

* internal delay (20 ns is Ok)

* thermodrift - to be studied

* remove monitor

* not-stop scaler readout - optional

* keep gate/veto (2 inputs)

* OR for trigger output (NIM)

* VME readout: write/read all registers, A32/D64 with DMA

As on October 11, 2007 the possibility of board redesign was discussed with Volker, Chris and Stan Majewski, and we are waiting for Stan's final word.

Nov 16, 2007 James responded, asking for details. Sergey responded to Volker and James.

Apr 16, 2008: waiting for management to find money to pay James to do a job.

June 4, 2008: meeting with James and two Sergey's, first discussion on new design and work schedule.

January 28, 2009: CLON meeting with Chris, decided to refresh the project

June 3, 2009: Ben presented first results with 2-channel populated prototype [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Discriminator_Prototype_Measurements.pdf (pdf)]. Next step will be to give prototype to Sergey P. for testing, sometime in the end of June.

Sep 30, 2009: Sergey Pozdnyakov completed first tests, pictures:

== Firmware update ==

dsc2firmware /usr/clas/devel/coda/src/rol/code.s/vmeDSC_firmware_v1_c.bin

Current firmware: ''vmeDSC_firmware_v1_c.bin''

== Development history ==

First version was developed by James Proffitt and is used in tagger system. It was tested by Sergey Pozdnyakov. Results of tests are presented on the next few slides:

* Width distribution ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.eps eps] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/JLabDiscr_width_vs_dac.pdf pdf])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for JLab Discr. ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_JLabDiscr_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

* Resolution of Leading Edge for LeCroy 2313 Discr. (for compare) ( [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.pdf pdf] [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Res_2313_Leading_Edge.eps eps])

Following changes were recommended to make that board suitable for CLAS12:

* remove preamplifiers (at least reduce gain): can be done by not-installing some components; different amplifiers can be installed

* mask outputs

* add test input: directly to digital side

* individual channel thresholds, min 10 mV - real

* add second output connector (or high dense connector ?): yes

* different thresholds for output 1 and output 2 (optional; maybe sacrofise individual threshold, maybe groups of 4 etc)

* individual programmable width step: 8ns -> 4ns, the less the better; max=100ns; non-updating mode

* channel-based output delays for trigger output connector - optional, 500ns max

* 32-channel: will try (backplane board ?)

* fast enough: min 150MHz

* internal delay (20 ns is Ok)

* thermodrift - to be studied

* remove monitor

* not-stop scaler readout - optional

* keep gate/veto (2 inputs)

* OR for trigger output (NIM)

* VME readout: write/read all registers, A32/D64 with DMA

As on October 11, 2007 the possibility of board redesign was discussed with Volker, Chris and Stan Majewski, and we are waiting for Stan's final word.

Nov 16, 2007 James responded, asking for details. Sergey responded to Volker and James.

Apr 16, 2008: waiting for management to find money to pay James to do a job.

June 4, 2008: meeting with James and two Sergey's, first discussion on new design and work schedule.

January 28, 2009: CLON meeting with Chris, decided to refresh the project

June 3, 2009: Ben presented first results with 2-channel populated prototype [https://clonwiki.jlab.org/wiki/clondocs/Docs/Discriminator_Prototype_Measurements.pdf (pdf)]. Next step will be to give prototype to Sergey P. for testing, sometime in the end of June.

== Initial settings ==

Install new board into VME crate. Connect ethernet to the upper LAN port, rs232 9600N1 serial line (optional), VGA monitor and USB keyboard. Turn on power, setup page should appear (for future reboots hold '''DEL''' key to enter setup). Goto '''Advanced->Onboard Device''', set memory size to '''512MB''' and enable '''Onboard Gigabit LAN 1'''. Goto '''Advanced->Serial Port Console Redirection''', enable '''COM1 Console Redirection''' and in '''Console Redirection Settings''' set '''Bits per second=9600'''. Goto '''Chipset->South Bridge Configuration->SATA Configuration''' and set '''SATA Mode Selection''' to '''AHCI'''. Do '''Save & Exit'''.

Sergey Boyarinov only: open web browser from '''clonweb''' and goto '''jnet.jlab.org'''. Login using CUE login and password. Click on '''Machine Registration''' button. Click '''Add Device'''. Fill in a form, for example:
Connection Type: wired
MAC address: 00:20:38:04:23:64
VLAN: VLAN 568 : Hall B Data Acquisition <choose from the list>
Hostname: tage2.jlab.org
IP address: 129.57.68.86 <unselect 'Automatically Assign Statis IP>
JLAB Username: boiarino
Has PII: no
Machine Type: other
Property Tag: F
Click '''Submit'''. Following message must shows up:
The device (00:20:38:04:23:64) has been successfully added to the registration table.
-----------------
The device (00:20:38:04:23:64) has been successfully added to the assignment table.
-----------------
(DHCP) This entry will be added to DHCP the next time the server restarts (about 10 seconds).
-----------------
hallb-rtr.jlab.org ethernet8/9 is not an access port, blip failed...

Add IP name to the [[clonfs1]] export list, if not done yet.

Recycle power. Messages on monitor must show successful DHCP connection. Go to the following section to setup TFTP etc.

== Software structure description ==

* following is installed in ''/tftpboot'' area on clon10 server:

linux-install/Centos5PAE_new/initrd.img
/initrd.img.backup
/vmlinuz
/msgs/boot.msg
/expert.msg
/general.msg
/param.msg
/rescue.msg
/snake.msg
/pxelinux.0
/pxelinux.cfg/81394458 -> croctest1
/81394459 -> croctest2
/croctest1
/croctest2
/default
/pxeos.xml

Every client must has a file in ''/pxelinux.cfg/'' area with the name containing IP address in HEX format, for example croctest1's IP is 129.57.68.88, so file name must be 81394458. It can be a symbolic link. The contents of the file for croctest1:

default Centos5PAE_new
label Centos5PAE_new
kernel Centos5PAE_new/vmlinuz
append initrd=Centos5PAE_new/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0 init=disklessrc NFSROOT=129.57.167.16:/vol/diskless/Centos5 ramdisk_size=31809 ETHERNET=eth0 SNAPSHOT=croctest1.jlab.org NISDOMAIN=CCCHP acpi=force vga=0x305 vmalloc=256MB console=ttyS0,9600

All settings in that file are more or less generic. To customize it for another client only ''SNAPSHOT=croctest1.jlab.org'' must be changed. Statement ''NFSROOT=129.57.167.16:/vol/diskless/Centos5'' defines the fileserver IP and directory where diskless Linux is located, in our case it is ''clonfs1''. Statement ''console=ttyS0,9600'' force Centos5 to send boot messages to the com port so they can be monitored using ''tsconnect''.

* diskless Linux is installed on ''clonfs1'' fileserver in ''/vol/diskless/Centos5'' volume. That volume is mounted on the clonpc3 RHEL machine as well, and all Centos5 installation was performed on clonpc3, as it described in EXPERT PART section below. Directory ''/diskless/Centos5/root'' will be mounted as ''/'' level on all diskless clients, so that part is generic for all clients. Custom areas in ''/diskless/Centos5/snapshot'' will be client-specific, for every new client new directory with appropriate name must be creates there using templete tar ball, for example:
tar xvf templete.jlab.org.tar
mv templete.jlab.org croctest1.jlab.org
* File ''files'' contains the list of all files/directories to be used from snapshot area rather then from root area, that file was created during Centos5 installation. File ''files.custom'' can be used to specify additional files/directories, not in use right now.

== Customizing kernel installed in ''/diskless/Centos5/root'' ==

After expert installation is done, following changes must be applied. They are similar to the RHEL installation on clon cluster PCs and servers:

* ''/usr/bin/system-config-network''

* fix ''/etc/passwd'', ''/etc/shadow'', ''/etc/group''

'''NOTE''': to add new used you may use command ''useradd'', for example
useradd -u 6246 -g nagios -d /home/nagios -c "Nagios" -s /bin/tcsh nagios
(add flag '-m' if want to force home directory creation).

* fix ''/etc/nsswitch.conf''

* fix ''/etc/yp.conf'' (add lines ''domain CCCHP server clon00.jlab.org'' and ''ypserver clon10.jlab.org'')

* fix ''/etc/sysconfig/network'' (add line ''NISDOMAIN=CCCHP'')

* ''/etc/init.d/ypbind start''

* ''chkconfig ypbind on''

* set RHEL-style [[automounts]]

* ''/etc/init.d/autofs restart''

* fix symbolic links to /apps, /home, /usr/local etc

To install updates, ssh to clonpc3 as ''root'' and execute following commands:
mount -o bind /misc /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc
mount -o bind /misc/apps /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/apps
mount -o bind /misc/local /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/local
mount -o bind /misc/home /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/home
mount -o bind /misc/work /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/work
mount -o bind /misc/clas /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/clas
mount -o bind /misc/downloads /misc/diskless/Centos5/root/misc/downloads

Now you can start chroot environment: ''chroot /misc/diskless/Centos5/root''.

Fix yum proxy: add line ''proxy=http://jprox.jlab.org:8082'' to the file ''/etc/yum.conf'', and fix file ''/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo'' by commenting out all ''mirrorlist=http:...'' lines and uncommenting all ''baseurl=http:...'' lines.

After that you can use ''yum'', for example:

yum install gcc-c++
yum install mysql-devel
yum install compat-gcc-34-g77
yum install libXpm-devel
yum install libXtst
yum install openmotif-devel
yum install java

If need local mysql server, do following (see [[MySQL Installation]] as well):

yum install mysql-server

In case of yum, rpm etc problems usually you have to rebuild dictionary, google the error message. Following may help:
mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* ~/
rpm --rebuilddb
and check using command:
rpm -qa

== CompactFlash ==

Local MySQL server startup:

ssh clondb1 as root
mysqldump -u root -p daq_daq > daq_daq.sql
mysqldump -u root -p daq_classvt > daq_classvt.sql

ssh as root
/sbin/chkconfig mysqld on
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
scp root@clondb1:/root/daq_classvt.sql .
scp root@clondb1:/root/daq_daq.sql .

mysql
mysql> CREATE USER 'root'@'clonweb0.jlab.org' IDENTIFIED BY '*********'; use mysql clon root password
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'clonweb0.jlab.org' WITH GRANT OPTION;

mysql> CREATE USER 'clasrun'@'localhost';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'clasrun'@'localhost';

mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> create database daq_daq;
mysql> create database daq_classvt;
mysql> exit

mysql daq_daq < daq_daq.sql
mysql daq_classvt < daq_classvt.sql

Original CentOS installation on CompactFlash was done by Bryan Moffit. To clone flash card, insert it to the reader on macbook pro and do following:

dd if=/dev/rdisk1 conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c > disk1.img.gz

Replace it with empty one and do following:

gunzip -c disk1.img.gz | dd of=/dev/rdisk1

Repeat last step to all empty flash cards you want to program.

'''OBSOLETE: OLD DISKLESS CLIENTS '''

'''Clasxt''' machines are diskless 'thin clients' from neoware, running newlinux. We have 5 those machines still in use:

* clasxt23 (425563, Counting room)

* clasxt33

* clasxt34 (F425591, EEL room 121)

* clasxt35 (F425584, counting room)

* clasxt37

* clasxt38 (F425588, TIDF)

* clasxt39

* clasxt40 (F425589, bldg. 98)

* ctof (F425590, EEL 108)

To reboot in single user mode do following:

* Power on the EON and hold the left shift key down until you are shown a boot prompt
* The boot prompt should display 'Software'
* Enter ''Software -s ramdisk=12000'' and press enter
* As the OS boots, press alt-F2 (possibly more than once) until you are greeted with a bash prompt

'''IMPORTANT:'''

On clon machines where clasxt's suppose to login, XDM server must be running. On Solaris 10 XDM server is running as part of ''dtlogin''. By default it has following options:

clon00:/etc> ps -ef | grep dtlogin
root 7799 1 0 17:25:38 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon -udpPort 0

which means upd connection is not allowed. Looking into options will see following:

clon00:/etc> svcprop svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login | grep udpPort
dtlogin/args astring \ -udpPort\ 0

To change that use following command:

clon00:/etc> svccfg -s svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login setprop dtlogin/args=\"\"

Now that option is gone:

clon00:/etc> svcprop svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login | grep udpPort
clon00:/etc>

To place that option back type following:

clon00:/etc> svccfg -s svc:/application/graphical-login/cde-login setprop dtlogin/args=\" -udpPort 0\"

Restart dtlogin server:

/etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
/etc/init.d/dtlogin start

Now it is running without upd restriction:

clon00:/etc> ps -ef | grep dtlogin
root 11503 1 0 17:30:46 ? 0:00 /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon

In addition to that, to make fonts loading process work enable xfs service. Normally it will be enabled on the machines with monitors, but on servers like clon00 and clon10 it will be disabled by default:

clon00:/etc> svcs -a | grep xfs
disabled Jan_04 svc:/application/x11/xfs:default
clon00:/etc>

so enable it:

clon00:/etc> svcadm enable svc:/application/x11/xfs
clon00:/etc> svcs | grep xfs
online 12:55:53 svc:/application/x11/xfs:default
clon00:/etc>

Some useful information can be found in following paper:

Some reports indicate that 3.x builds do not work. The error that is reported is
FATAL ERROR
The device that contains the configuration file (config.xml) could not be found. m0n0wall cannot continue booting.
I do not yet know of a solution. This tutorial should be construed to apply only to the 2.x builds in the meantime. Please email me if you get 3.x working on an EON.

Here's how to install the latest build of the excellent m0n0wall firewall on a Neoware EON 4000 thin client. These machines make excellent firewalls for home users and small businesses because they are cheap, compact, sturdy, and powerful enough to run a several megabit connection. The hardware is available in a variety of configurations, with CPUs roughly equivalent to a 150-200Mhz Pentium. Before embarking on this little journey, you should be aware of a few caveats:

* Some Neoware boxes come with a 32-pin Disk-on-Chip module in a socket on the motherboard. m0n0wall does not ship with the required driver to run this module. Therefore, on these systems you will need a hard drive, compact flash to IDE adapter, or similar device to boot from. You may also be able to netboot your firewall (this is supported on the built-in network device), though I do not cover that in this tutorial.
* The motherboard accepts both PC133 DIMMs or SO-DIMMs. It will use both at the same time. However, when using a DIMM, be sure it is less than 1.1" (28mm) tall, or you will not be able to install a second network card.
* There are many different revisions of the NeoLinux operating system and not all include the necessary software to complete this tutorial.
* You may need to purchase several EON 4000s to get suitable software and hardware.
* These instructions were based on NeoLinux 2.4-100802, with kernel 2.2.20. Your particular configuration may vary slightly.

With those potential issues in mind, follow along!

There are three main steps to be completed to get m0n0wall running on your EON. First, you will need to get single-user access to the NeoLinux installation. Next, you need to enable networking and fetch and install m0n0wall. Third, you need to configure it to fit your requirements. I will address the first two of these, as adequate resources exist to help with the latter.

To begin, you will need:

* One or more Neoware EONs with disk-on-chip modules that plug into the IDE header
* Access to the internet from your EON (or to a web server on a LAN)
* A supported PCI network card. Common Intel or 3Com cards work fine.
* At least 64MB of suitable memory. Some EONs ship with SO-DIMMs, others with DIMMs. These should be short enough to accomodate a PCI network card.
* See the m0n0wall supported hardware page for more information.

Step ONE: Get single-user access to the NeoLinux distribution.

* Power on the EON and hold the left shift key down until you are shown a boot prompt
* The boot prompt may vary, but pressing tab should display either 'Software' or 'Eon_Software'.
* Enter, as appropriate, either
Software -s ramdisk=12000
or
Eon_Software -s ramdisk=12000
and press enter.
* As the OS boots, press alt-F2 (possibly more than once) until you are greeted with a bash prompt.

Step TWO: Fetch and install m0n0wall.

* Check that your installation has the necessary software:
bash# ls /usr/bin/wget
. If NeoLinux reports that it is not found, you will have to try a different EON. Keep this hardware however: a single working EON can program m0n0wall onto several disk-on-chip modules, even those without the proper software. More on this later.
* Plug the EON into a network which provides DHCP information and enable the ethernet connection:
bash# cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.default /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
bash# ifup eth0
* Create a ramdisk on which to place temporary files during the installation:
bash# mkfs.ext2 /dev/ram0
bash# mount /dev/ram0 /mnt/usbcdrom
bash# cd /mnt/usbcdrom
bash# /usr/bin/wget http://hostname/path/to/m0n0wall
bash# cp /bin/gunzip .
bash# cp /bin/dd .
* Now you're ready. You have created a ramdisk with the two utilities you will need to rewrite IDE disk-on-chip modules with m0n0wall. At this point, if you have modules containing copies of NeoLinux without wget, you should try using them first. That way if something goes wrong you can repeat these steps later. With the machine running, remove the IDE DOC that you booted from and replace it with the one you want to reprogram.
* Then,
gunzip -c m0n0wall-file-name.img | dd of=/dev/hda bs=16k
Ignore the warning about trailing garbage.

That's it! At this point you can remove the DOC and replace it with another one and repeat the reprogramming step, as many times as needed.

When you next boot the machine, it should load m0n0wall exactly as it would on any other x86-compatible system. Jump right in with the m0n0wall quick-start guide for PC platforms. Chapter 3: Initial Configuration is probably where you will want to start. Good luck!
