Before April the network connections/switch configurations will have been tested as described above. After start-up we must schedule time for the following installation plan: Sonya
- On MD day to install and test both BLEN IOCs - let them run if it checks out ok
- Sonya, Till - I did not write down a specific plan for the BPM IOCs. Do you expect to need a couple weeks of check-out time, similar to Kristi's plan above? Please let me know what's required after start-up.
Controller IOCs
3 controller IOCs. We should be able to install the Controller IOCs during the downtime, or really anytime before April. They may be useful for production network testing during the downtime (we could run Till's tests in production maybe?) - Terri and Ernest can plan to install the Controller IOCs with the network installations.
After start-up: we
- we'll need an MD day per feedback loop to install, configure, and test. Maybe a couple days for the first feedback.
BLD IOC
A version 2 of the BLD IOC needs to be installed once we have three feedbacks, 1) Bunch Charge Feedback, the 2) Longitudinal Feedback, and the 3) LTU Launch Feedback, running and providing their States data over FCOM. This will not likely happen until later in the summer. We discussed that this IOCs NICs will be dedicated to 1) FCOM and 2)Photon Multicast network - leaving no NIC for Channel Access. Sheng to think about whether having Channel Access is necessary, and alternative ways to monitor this VME if there is no channel access.
After the three feedbacks are installed:
- one MD day, plus coordinate with photon group, to install version 2 BLD and test.
ACTION ITEMS
- Terri to make schedule for Network installation and test during downtime, with input from Sonya, Kristi, Kukhee, Sheng
- Terri to add Controller IOC installation, with input from Ernest
- Sonya, Till - detailed plan for BPM check-out after April start-up.
- Sheng - develop a plan for monitoring status of this BLD version 2 'concentrator' processor
