DAQ machines

  • deapdaqgw: gateway machine (DHCP for deap00, UPS, CDU, NAT)
  • deap00: main daq machine (storage, home directories, central services, etc)
  • deap01..05: A3818 daq frontend machines
  • (used as current deap03 - deap07: spare A3818 daq machine (old deap00) (used for PCIe ADC DAQ))
  • deap08: spare deap00 machine
  • lxdeap01: VME daq machine
  • deapvme01..03: VME crate power supplies
  • deapups: DAQ UPS unit
  • deapcdu: DAQ power distribution unit
  • deapkvm8: 8-port IP KVM
  • mscb520: MSCB-ETH bridge

Power up sequence

  • power up and turn on all 3 UPSes
  • network switch, CDU and gateway machine are connected to non-switchable UPS ports, they should power up and boot
  • one should be able to ping the gateway machine
  • ssh deapgw@deapdaqgw, ping deapups and deapcdu
  • open the UPS and CDU web pages through the HTTPS proxy
  • from the CDU web page (outlet control), turn on deap00. If deap00 is off (0 power use) but outlet is "on", use the "reboot" action.
  • wait for deap00 to boot (ping deap00)
  • mhttpd and elog should start automatically
  • open the DEAP MIDAS status page
  • now one can ssh deap@deapdaqgw then ssh deap00
  • on the MIDAS status page, start the slow controls frontends: UPS, CDU, VME crates and NutUps, clear all alarms. Do not start MPOD and SCB yet.
  • all frontends should start "green", except for "vme02" (and "mpod") should report "communication problem"
  • on the CDU web page, turn on all power outlets (use "global control action" - "on" - "apply")
  • wait for VME02 (and MPOD) to boot: their frontend status should turn "green"
  • wait for deap01..deap05 to boot (no simple indication, but they should ping from deap00)
  • from the MIDAS "VME" slow controls pages, turn on all 3 VME crates
  • from the MIDAS "programs" page, start mpod and scb frontends. They status should show "green"
  • from the MIDAS "MPOD_HV" page, turn on the MPOD ("main switch ON", if ready to ramp up the voltages, "output ON")
  • from the MIDAS "SCB" page, turn on all SCBs ("ON" button)
  • wait for lxdeap01 to boot (should be able to ping from deap00)
  • from the MIDAS "programs" page, start all daq frontends
  • clear all MIDAS alarms
  • start a run, wait for a bit, stop the run (to confirm all frontends are happy)
  • DAQ is now ready to take data

deapups connections

Network configuration (DEAP)

The DEAP DAQ cluster is configured for standalone running with or without an internet connection.

(NB: Some internet functions are required: access to NTP for time synchronization and access to Linux package repositories to install packages, etc)

Network numbers

Network numbers are assigned by deapdaqgw and deap00 DHCP servers: 

192.168.1.x (netmask 255.255.255.0): daq private network
192.168.2.x: deap00a-deap01a connection
192.168.3.x: deap00b-deap02b connection
192.168.4.x: deap00c-deap03c connection
192.168.5.x: deap00d-deap04d connection

Network cabling

deapdaqgw:
eth0 - uplink
eth1 - daq private network

deap00 mobo:
eth0 - daq private network
eth1 - reserved for the DEAP private network
deap00 pcie nic: (top to bottom)
eth2 - deap01a
eth3 - deap02b
eth4 - deap03c
eth5 - deap04d

deap01..deap04:
eth0 - daq private network
eth1 - secondary network direct link to deap00

deap05, lxdeap01:
eth0 or eth1 - daq private network (use either port)

DHCP configuration

Main DHCP server is running on the gateway machine. It provides IP addresses to all devices on the main private network.

Additional DHCP server is running on deap00. It provides IP addresses to the secondary network links to deap00 (deap01a..deap04d)

See following sections for more details.

DEAP network nodes with statically configured IP addresses:

  • deapmod : Wiener MPOD firmware does not support DHCP

Gateway machine

deapdaqgw is the gateway machine that provides internet access to the DEAP DAQ cluster.

  • NAT ("network address translation", see /etc/rc.local)
  • IP address assignement via /etc/hosts
  • DNS via dnsmasq serving contents of /etc/hosts and bridge to upstream DNS (configured in /etc/resolv.conf by upstream DHCP)
  • DHCP for all machines via /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf, Special DHCP settings:
    • "option routers" sets the "default route" through the gateway machine itself
    • "option domain-name-servers" sets the DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf to dnsmasq on the gateway machine
    • "option ntp-servers" specifies the time servers, (but not used by any hosts?)
    • "option domain-name" is not specified, leaving the "domain" and "search" entries of /etc/resolv.conf blank (actually the entries are not there)
    • unknown clients are assigned IP addresses in the range 192.168.x.200 through .250.
    • MSCB nodes are assigned "infinite" leases by avoid a bug in MSCB firmware
    • remember to "service dhcpd restart" after editing /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
  • HTTPS proxy for midas, elog, and other web-connected devices (see links above). Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf

deap00 machine

deap00 is the main machine for the DEAP DAQ cluster.

  • DHCP for secondary network links to frontend machines, remember to "service dhcpd restart" after editing /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
  • NIS master
  • NFS export of home disks, data disks (NFS exports list: edit /etc/netgroup, run "make -C /var/yp")

network port assignements:

  • eth0: main connection to the local network, IP address is assigned by DHCP from the gateway machine
  • eth1: no used, reserved for special link to the data storage machine
  • eth2..eth5: Intel 4-port card, ports are numbered from the top, connected to deap01..deap04 in order.

NIS configuration

Usernames, passwords and hostnames are distributed using NIS:

  • domain name: DEAP-NIS
  • deap00 is the master server
  • there are no secondary servers

Time configuration

  • deapdaqgw time is configured in /etc/ntp.conf (currently N.rhel.pool.ntp.org)
  • deapdaqgw DHCP configuration file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf line "option ntp-servers" provides time servers to all dhcp clients (currently timeN.triumf.ca)
  • deap00 and frontend machines:
    • /etc/ntp.conf specifies: "server deapdaqgw iburst prefer" options are: iburst=quick sync, prefer=prefer to use this server
    • in addition, local dhcp client writes the dhcp ntp-servers into /etc/ntp.conf

deapdaqgw is used as the time master instead of deap00 to make the configuration more symmetric: deap00 and all frontend machines have the same time configuration instead of deap00 being different.

System monitoring tools

  • ganglia
  • triumf_nodeinfo
  • konstantin's ganglia packages (monitor_nfs, ganglia sensors, top, etc) - To install/update: see TRIUMF SL install instructions.

VNC access to the KVM

Generic VNC instructions: VNC

DEAP specific VNC instruction:

  • start local VNC client in "listen mode" as described at VNC
  • ssh deap@deapdaqgw
  • rm ~/.vnc/passwd
  • vncserver --geometry 1600x1200 ### watch the output line: "desktop is deapdaqgw:2" <--- remember the value ":2" printed (it will be different each time)
  • vncconfig -display localhost:2 -connect send.triumf.ca:5500 <--- localhost:2 uses the ":2" from the vncserver output, "send.triumf.ca:5500" is the location and port of your VNC client.

Backups

Backups of all system disks (SSD and USB flash media) are done to the deap00 data disk. This includes deapdaqgw and deap00 SSDs:

  • deap00 cron job /etc/cron.d/backup.lxdaq.cron
  • runs script deap00:~root/backup.lxdaq
  • writes backups to deap00 data disk: deap00:/data/root/backups:

Creating boot disks for deap01..deap05

mirrored 16GB USB Flash disks

go here Cloning_raid1_boot_disks

V7865 single 8GB/16GB USB Flash disks

The V7865 VME processors use single USB flash disks. To create the boot disks, follow instructions for #64GB_SSD_boot_disks, but clone "lxdeap01" instead of "deap01".

Single 8/16GB USB and 64GB SSD boot disks

  • attach SSD disk to any of the deap01..deap05 machines (SATA+power)
  • login as root to that machine
  • "fdisk -l" to identify which /dev/sdX disk it is
  • cd /data/root/backups
  • ./clone.perl ./deap01 /dev/sdX
  • observe script completes sucessfully and prints "Done. You can remove /dev/sdX and try to boot from it."
  • disconnect the disk
  • connect to new machine, try to boot from it
