1.1 Graphic card port

Please use the DVI port on the graphic card. After installation X Desktop will be display to the first port. If you use the HDMI port using an adapter, monitor go to sleep when we start X.

1.2 Raid 0 mirroring

At boot, press F10 and next ^C to enter the SAS utility. Using this utility, create an IS volume with disk 2 and 3. This raid 0 mirror will be useful to quickly dump data from acquisition.

1.3 Partitions

# fdisk -l
...

sda1	ext2	/boot
sda2	ext3	/
sda3	swap
sda5	ext3	/home
sda6	ext3	/var
sda7	ext3	/usr/local
sdb1	ext2	/opt?

1.4 Backups and other

• /usr/local/calice/BACKUP_2011: old stuffs
• /usr/local/calice/pkg: Software packages (mostly electronic tools)
• /usr/local/calice/vm: Virtuals machines
• /usr/local/calice/nroche: SVN configuration
• /usr/local/calice/gastaldi: SVN configuration
• /usr/local/calice/xilinx11: XILINX11 software
• /usr/local/calice/xilinx12: XILINX12 software

2 Scientific Linux Cern 5.5

Note that XDAQ recommand 32bit OS.

• Download the boot.iso.

  $ md5sum /dev/sr0
  eadcf980712389a687beb5df1230207c  /dev/sr0
  

• type linux text at welcome page (graphic card doesn't seems to work)
• Choose ``English'' language
• Choose ``FR-latin9'' keyboard
• Choose ``HTTP'' installation method
• Unseselect ipv6 support
• Use this HTTP repository:
  • linuxsoft.cern.ch
  • /cern/slc55/i386
• Choose ``text mode''
• Install grub boot loader in MBR: /dev/sda/ (else boot fails)
• Choose ``Europe/Paris'' using UTC
• Select ``Workstation''
• At reboot: use "auth config" to desable "kerbeos" and "firewall" to disable "SELinux"

3 Virtual machine

Have a look in the tools section: VIRTUALBOX.

• Default machine folder (in preferences) : /usr/local/calice/vm

3.1 Ubuntu LTS 10.04

• The iso we used is here: /usr/local/calice/vm/iso/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso

3.2 Windows XP

We re-use the previous XP virtual machine.

4 SVN stuffs

Have a look in the approach section: SUBVERSION

Note: there is a security process that re-arrange PATH on SLC5.6. If we want to use the icons on Desktop for SVN, in /etc/profile.d/zzz_hepix.sh:

#!/bin/sh
return # please add this line to use svn icons on desktop
