sPHENIX MAPS tracker discussion

[Martin Purschke <purschke AT bnl.gov>]

All,

sorry I didn't feel up to wrapping up what we discussed yesterday late 
night, I just did.

I shut down and disabled the firewalls, and (this is still the rc_server 
that we started yesterday in the session) -

> [phnxrc@mvtx-flx0 ~]$ rc_status
> mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> mvtx-flx1.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> mvtx-flx2.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> mvtx-flx3.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> mvtx-flx4.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> mvtx-flx5.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 1 0
> [phnxrc@mvtx-flx0 ~]$ rc_close

> mvtx-flx2.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
> mvtx-flx3.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
> mvtx-flx4.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
> mvtx-flx5.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0

I installed the service.

These are now the systemd-started rcdaqs:

[phnxrc@mvtx-flx0 ~]$ rc_status
mvtx-flx0.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
mvtx-flx1.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
mvtx-flx2.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
mvtx-flx3.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
mvtx-flx4.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0
mvtx-flx5.sphenix.bnl.gov -1 0 0 0 0

I also added sphenix.bnl.gov to the search domains.

BTW, for future reference (but *PLEEEASE* - see the note in the elog 
about rogue changes that took us down last night by someone (not in this 
audience) getting creative), here's the ansible file - 
/home/common/ansible/general/addRcdaqService.yml and test00 is the 
ansible "control center".

When I get around to it, we'll change the service to dump the log files 
into a dedicated directory rather than the home dir, which is getting 
cluttered. We currently keep 5 log files with logrotate so you'll have 
$HOME/rcdaq_mvtx-flxX.log, .1, .2. .3...

Also, mid-term - I understand the current expert-only nature of 
configuring the FELIXes. But think longer-term, like in 2 weeks - do you 
want to be called at night each time something happens, say, rack 3.3 
trips off? Think about a sure-fire script that the DO can start to 
configure basically any detector into a running configuration from scratch.

Best,
        Martin
