A1508

Hobart 12m:

Disk VSN: HAY-0055

Data volume at beginning: 1.4 GB (test recording + fringe check)

  • 00:11 UT : disc pos ~40 GB behind - Rxmon stop command returns “operation not permitted; no process killed” not sure what to do since everyone is in the WHS training… (Ellen)
  • 01:41 UT : Rxmon stopped and started. (Ellen)
  • 02:10 UT : swapped modules over. Looked like everything was running again fine but then the mark 5 went crazy and tried to record to both modules. We did a full power cycle 3 times to fix this. Scans between 050-0211 and 050-0239 are either bad or were missed. (Ellen)
  • Schedule resumed for scan 050-0241. (Ellen)
  • 09:46UT: mark 5 lost connection. Halted schedule tried SSReset to no avail, hard rebooted as superuser, seemed to fix the problem. Schedule restarted 09:51, missed scans 050-0944b to 050-0956a (Imogen)

Katherine 12m:

Disk VSN: HOB+0124

Data volume at beginning: 1.12 (test recording + fringe check)

  • 22:35 UT : clkoff returned a value ot ~E-001, while maserdelay was fine. “counter” didn't help, neither did “fmset” (Ellen)
  • Scans 049-2235 to 049-2245 are bad.
  • 22:47 UT : restarted the DBBC session and reconfigured, clkoff is still giving value of ~E-002. I open fmset again and the values all matched up, but I synced it any way in the hope of fixing the clkoff issue. But this actually un-synced the 3 numbers… “counter” didn't fix it this time either. (Ellen)
  • 23:00 UT : Jamie walks in the room and suddenly the it decides to fix itself >.< (Ellen)
  • 23:02 UT : Schedule wouldn't start properly, then the field system wouldn't respond to any commands. Tried to kill it but it wouldn't die properly so I couldn't restart it. Dave came to the rescue and killed it properly so I could restart the schedule at 23:21 UT. For most of this time the mark 5 was recording non-stop. Missed scans 049-2247a to 049-2326. (Ellen)
  • Due to continuous recording, disc pos now ~53 GB ahead of schedule. (Ellen)
  • Scan 049-2327 completed successfully. (Ellen)

Yarragadee 12m:

Disk VSN: HOB+0121

Data volume at beginning: 8369 GB

  • We had some initial trouble with the module or mk5 when it refused to do a test record. The pointers were noticed to be at ~4TB rather than the expected ~8TB. The module eventually came good after:
    • moving the module to the other bank
    • rebooting mk5yg
    • running SSReset
    • restarting DIMino several times,
    • running “mk5=recover=2”
  • The DBBC issue causing problems in S band is ongoing
  • The wind monitor has not been able to connect from 22:00 UT to 00:30 UT (and counting). (Ellen)
