    • Links on homepage checked
      • Some issues with DB access and privilege from current node name (dean2)
    • New jpgraph version installed in same location as the old one
    • Disk exports are not in place, so content isn't being updated currently

    • RAID still providing for the file systems in the interim
  • ITD network backups failing (RT 2069), but resolution from ITD may have just come through
  • Machine replacements:
    • emcsc ready (needs either deployed by tomorrow or ITD block needs postponed)
    • emcspin ready (Monday)
    • starutilities awaiting C-AD software

 

FastOffline [Jerome]:

  • Many files coming into the system, but all are tests, pulsers, etc., so not being processed
  • Some missing detector setup, beam energy, etc. information: could mean misconfiguration, or potentially not properly propagated data

 

QA [Gene]:

  • OnlinePlots switched back to newer EVP server
    • Switching steps still undocumented
  • Pre-combining of FastOffline files still needs tested and configured to be the default

 Minutes

Attendees: Kefeng, Wayne B., Leve H., Gene V.B., Dmitry A.

 

ShiftLog [Leve]:

  • Manual changes have been reviewed (by Jerome) and committed
  • Re-deployed

 

Databases [Dmitry]:

  • cdev enabled (by C-AD), so parameter propagation has begun
    • Some data is still empty (e.g. beam species) and may not be filled for several weeks (when beams actually start)
      • Might be possible to enter some default values for now
    • Numbers are meaningless, so not useful for FastOffline testing
  • Testing new hardware nodes now (2 are available)
    • Configuration of new nodes in discussion

 

Online Infrastructure [Wayne]:

  • STAR login environment needs to be able to handle SL5.5 (which was installed on some nodes)
    • Will follow up with Jerome
  • Online linux pool is losing roughly 1 node a day (rebooting)
    • Hit a few with network scans, but response was OK, so no clues
  • Spin request (for Pibero):
    • User has access to the nodes and is waiting for directory structures and mount points
      • Expect to complete within a few days
  • Condor installation on for rterm-like access to online pool from gateway
    • Installed on the gateway
    • Components for the pool nodes is to be done
  • Slowness on evp
    • Only occurred yesterday (Dec. 16)
    • Nothing obvious, but suspicious of AFS, and coincided with mock data transfer challenge from counting house to HPSS
    • Paths forward discussed:
      • Remove outside AFS dependence using an online repository
      • Remove AFS dependence using local codes on evp
      • Write a new tool better identify AFS issues (i.e. more proactive than 'fs checkservers')
    • Problem doesn't seem to persist, not a priority for now (no action)
  • Yury G. requested networking support for the east FPD/FMS rack
    • Just extends the starp network geographically
    • Needs to be a fiber connection for proper grounding
  • Webserver replacement
    • Two redhat 5 machines given the ITD thumbs up
    • Shared filespaces in progress
    • No services started yet
    • Request for an account to test tomcat (Leve)

 

QA [Gene]:

  • Demo of the Offline QA with reference histogram comparison
    • Missing some features for flexibly defining reference histogram sets (will work on over the holidays)
    • Minor suggestion made for improving the "waiting..." display

 Minutes

Attendees: Leve H., Dmitry A., Jerome L., Wayne B., Gene V.B.

 

Databases [Dmitry]:

  • All DB collectors running now
    • Only TPC voltages absent due to no data yet
  • Slow Controls Archiver not yet running to avoid collecting value-less data
    • With Run start imminent, this needs to get going
    •  Dmitry will follow up with Yury G.
  • Potential to benefit from an unused EPICS feature to read multiple channels in one request (we have been reading one channel at a time across the board), which could cut down the overhead in obtaining data
    • Unknown why this wasn't previously used, so testing with caution to learn (perhaps the multiple channel data comes in a burst which could fail for some reason)
  • New shift sign-up release is imminent (possibly today)
    • Only minor features getting final adjustments (features have been [node:19902 "previously presented"])
  • RunLog working fine: new runs appearing, but all being marked bad
    • Jerome notes that bad runs won't come through FastOffline, which has been turned on already
  • New DB nodes
    • Tested and ready for use
    • New configuration (relevant for FastOffline use) not yet in place (Jerome and Dmitry will work this out)
  • Online DB plots working and logs show usage
    • Only unavailable quantities are those collected from the Slow Controls Archiver

 

ShiftLog [Leve]:

  • New manual is printed out and in place at the counting house
  • ShiftLeader desktop computer has all the necessary icons, correctly linked and tested, including making a ShiftLog entry
  • New web server not critical (stable operation on old web server)

 

Online infrastructure [Wayne & Jerome]:

  • OS upgrade
    • One critical: a replacement node for usage in monitoring chilled water (old machine is Windows 2000) is awaiting ITD processing.
      • Follow-up with ITD on Monday if nothing transpires by then
    • Other machines in the queue ("bond", "beatrice", "l3disp")
  • Online web server replacement
    • Currently replicating old machine on new one: file copying and version checking
      • ShiftLog request to continue with same Tomcat version (a known quantity) instead of upgrading in hopes of improved stability
    • Spin resource request involves storage to be delivered on new server
  • Uncertainty in status of UPS services for computers at the experiment
    • Testing today before the Run starts
  • Network request for east FMS/FPD racks completed
  • Online linux pool has been stable for the past ~3 weeks (after a couple weeks of apparently random reboots)

 

FastOffline [Jerome]:

  • Ready, running, and waiting for data

 

QA [Gene]:

  • OnlinePlots still running on older evp machine (but stable)
    • Will look into moving it back over to the new node
    • Need Jeff L. to flip some switches (and document it)
  • Offline QA
    • Finished implementing tools to update just specific histograms in reference set
    • QA Shift set of histograms will be flushed next week and started anew
      • Histograms only go into the set if given a description, and only stay in the set if a reference is set

 

We are expecting some collider operations imminently, so data will likely flow through the entire system over the next week.

II. Brief Summary and/or Action Items:

              0) Attendency: Olga, Flemming, Bedanga, Jamie, Bernd, Nu, Gene, Jerome, Helen, Bill

              1) D0 muon system: Olga and Nu will discuss with Steve H. to see if it useful for STAR future physics program

              2) HFT status: BNL review week of March 21 or 28. Six to eight weeks later will be DOE review. 

              3) DAQ10k upgrade: Intend to double the speed of trigger. Remove some bottle necks in both soft- and hardwares. Involves

                  Tanto, Zhangbu, and others.e-mu, mu-mu measurements, for example. Need a review committee:

              4) Run11, ANDY: STAR is fine, FMS trgger is to be ready this night. CAD performence is not good. 9MHz tried, quited,

                 cannot come back to original settings. Setup rotaters for PHENIX.

                 ANDY: no systematic measure yet (Bill). ANDY is not really the trouble yet. The effect is not only about the luminosity,

                            background is also an imprtant issue. Need to quatify the effect. Bernd will prepare the document.

              5) Analysis meeting:

              6) Forward Physics simulations:
