ATTENDEES

Diane, Kukhee, Sonya, Kristi, Terri, Ernest, Sheng 

TOPICS: Installation

Need to know-

1)      the scope of the installation effort for each subsystem.

...

**- we will install this new switch swh-li21-nw01, move these iocs from swh-in20-nw02 to this switch

...

• install all new fiber and new switches, leave old private switches in place for RF, BPMs, BLENs
• configure new switches for all BPMs, BLENs, RFEIOs RF EIOCs (set the EIOC ports to receive only multicast from their master IOC)
• THEN, for every IOC and EIOC involved in feedback,
  • test the new network connections by moving network cables to new switch and ping (add a couple lines in start-up file)
  • this will likely take several days and will involve both Network group and each subsystem engineer (Kristi, Sonya, Sheng, Kukhee)
  • when done testing an IOC / EIOC move connections BACK TO ORIGINAL SETUP. We must leave the system in its original state for start-up in April
  • QUESTION - do we need to disconnect the magnet IOCs, and UND BPM IOCs 2nd NIC when done testing? Definitely not the Controller IOCs.
• Terri will determine the overall schedule for this work, with input from Kristi, Sonya, Sheng, and Kukhee
  

 NOTE: Once beam is back up in April, the subsystems that now use private switches (RF, BPM, BLEN) will need to move cables from private switches to new FCOM switches when installing new software in production. Backout will include moving cables back.

Magnets

This involves two Magnet IOCs.  The new magnet sofware must be a single image that works in IOCs that control the new fast correctors, and IOCs that do not.
