TO DO Lists

This is Sergey Boyarinov's TODO list and the list of completed jobs.

Sergey Boyarinov's TODO list

- decide on electronics inventory database and form of presentation - with Sergey P.

- CODA: use et_2_et everywhere (check byte swap!)

- respond on property (see email Oct-9-2007)

- there is an incompartibility on Solaris 10 update 2 with new Studio 12 (bosio does not compile for example), need to fix, maybe install Solaris 10 update 3 from scratch ? if so, clon10 and clon00 need extra work installing dns, nis, bootp, realport etc

- modify CMON and CED for new TOF counters (ask Heddle for CED)

- make datafile for DVCS Trigger simulation using BOS file from Rustam

Oct-9-2007: done, Rustam sent me pedestal file, I generated 10000 events ascii
  file for Ben, it is on DVCS Trigger wiki page, sent mail to Ben; program is
  $CODA/src/bosio/main/bosdvcstrig.c

- talk to Hovanes about adding new names 'lac' and 'dc' to the dictionary generation procedure (Makefile modifications, save/restore procedure etc); update wiki page accordingly

Oct-5-2007: Hovanes shown me how to do that, we did it in new EPICS, must write it
  to wiki and repeat in old epics

- buy 2 more A1520 500V CAEN boards on Stepan's request for hodoscope

Oct-8-2007: got quotation for A1520's, v288's and v895's

- arrange AC socket replacement on sy527's

- preshower_exit did not kill rcServer (probably daq_exit too) - need check

- old sy527 driver for VME-based caenet board

Sep-2007: need to pass to Nerses what I did;
Oct-1-2007: doing it myself with Nerses's help
Oct-4-2007: driver is finished, last puzzle was switching on floating point in vxWorks;
   everything works fine; remaining changes: make status bits consistent with sy1527s,
   check if 'input V' field must be filled in; merge with sy1527 driver; tune timing
   inside v288.c and sy527.c; check power/enable handling (currently 'dis'=Pw and PrON, 'Ena'=PrOn);
   check ID's (where it should be 0, where 4 etc)
Oct-9-2007: finish another round of tuning; add extra checks, particularly in v288Get calls, call v288Reset
   in case of transmission problems, fix some sleeps, set lower priority for main thread to let EPICS
   processes breeze; still have error messages, but ioc seems stable thanks to v288Reset;
TODO: make sure enable/disable and on/off logic works correctly (probably in v288.c)

- cleanup/replug/label BigIron switch, update MRTG names

- shutting down clasonl1 with command

shutdown -y -i 5 -g 120

got following

Need to understand.

- v1190/v1290 testing: CBLT does not work, wrong slot number

- runcontrol does not compiles on clon10, but compiles on clon03 - new studio12 etc - need to install Sol10 U3 everywhere !; runcontrol hungs in 'go' for TDC_CALIB - working on it

- write notes on standalone DAQ operations (enable signal necessity etc)

- equipment list with DB, lebles (with Sergey P.)

- JLAB discriminators: ask Volker to push it

28-set-2007: sent email to Volker, he replied asking for extra info, sent email with requested info

- need 1881M ADCs, at least few modules

- test sy527 which arrived from repair (with George Jacobs)

28-sep-2007: unit tested, boots fine, serial works; George will test alarm output, Sergey - remote control
28-sep-2007: AC connectors arrived, George will arrange replacement (or me ?); box with connectors in
  counting room on the table

- buy labels for both labeling machines

17-sep-2007 requisitions 266507 and 266519 have been submitted
26-sep-2007 labels for panel labler received

- learn, start and test auto-shutdown software on clons

29-sep-2007 soft installed on 18 machines, partially configured, need to send signal from UPS_CHB1 and make sure
it reaches all machines

- on Nerses's request: install S99caRepeater and S99logServer scripts, update corresponding procedure for Solaris (ask Paul Letta if necessary)

14-sep-2007: installed to /etc/rc3.d on clon01, but actial reboot was not tested

- fix colors for clasrun accounts (and others ?) on clons

- order 2 more discriminators for DVCSCAL

- on clon10 msql and rtserver must restart automatically on reboot

- nrpe did not restarted on clon06, it was in maintenance state; as clasrun I did disable and enable - it works now; probably network was down when it was trying to restart ?

- make sure emergency generator is by-passed if in service

26-sep-2007: sent mail to Bob Rice
26-sep-2007: I decided to submit request to inforce better power routing during emergency generator panel repair: normal
power must be supplied during that time

Sergey Boyarinov's COMPLETED list

- replug AC power to emergency generators

17-sep-2007: done

- NTP servers on Solaris, update Solaris post-install page (and Linux on clon04)

temporary password received, changed to permanent; access to tibco web site works

25-sep-2007: done

- PCAL test setup (with Sergey P.)

14-sep-2007: everything seems working, except missing delay cables and wierd
problem: FASTBUS hung on first event
26-sep-2007: replaced signal distr. card (TDC START did not work)
27-sep-2007: add 1 sec delay in 'Go' trabsition of fbrol1.c for standalone only, it seems
fixed first-event-hung problem; everything seems Ok

27-sep-2007: done

ET system was confused:

to eliminate alias 192.168.2.1 following command was used:

ifconfig en0 -alias 192.168.2.1

Now it looks better:

Oct-3-2007: got new version from Carl, test et_2_et: can connect through multiple ports to multiple ETs, BUT cannot connect between machines on different subnets. Tried DIRECT - does not work, ask Carl to check.

Oct-4-2007: pcal EB and ER are not working with new ET !!! Switch to old one, need check ...

Oct-9-2007: final check, everything looks good; add new option 'direct' to 'et_2_et', will be used for communication between machines which are not sharing any subnets, in that case only one ET system on remote machine can be connected as before; if machines are sharing at least one subnet, there is no limitations for the number of ET systems we can communicate with - good enough for CLON cluster

Oct-9-2007: done

- order extended maintenance kit for clonhp2

Oct-9-2007: done
