PS1 IPP Czar Logs for the week 2011.04.11 - 2011.04.17

(Up to PS1 IPP Czar Logs)

Monday : 2011.04.11

• Bill queued STS.2010.a data for destreak and distribution.

Tuesday : 2011.04.12

• Bill set stackRun 262194 to drop. It fails due to the problem reported in ticket 1427.
• Roy: 200 or so exposures, through warp by 1:30ish, and distributed by 6am
• Bill 10:49 Set MD04.deeptest.20110320 to survey lists for WSdiff, magic, destreak, and distribution
• Bill 11:15 ipp005 panic'd. Distribution was using as a compute node. Set the host to off.
• Roy: distribution crashed at 8:20pm ish. Restarted.

Wednesday : 2011.04.13

• 14:55 Serge fixed the "PROBLEM" entry in the replication statuses table.
• 19:13 CZW: finally got load under control on ippc18. Similar to last week, I broke it by running ppStack in a pantasks with extra debugging information on (I forgot to remove one). This caused a massive number of write attempts to my home directory, freezing the system. However, unlike last week, pantasks ignored the first "shutdown now", creating a problem where it would spawn new stacks as I killed them off. Everything's now back to normal.
• 19:52 CZW: unstuck registration. See ticket #1477.

Thursday : 2011.04.14

• 05:50 Set all runs with label 'ps_ud%' to goto_cleaned.

Friday : 2011.04.15

• 15:01 Bill restarted the pstamp pantasks because pcontrol was using a whole cpu on ippc17
• 21:12 Bill with advice from Chris worked around a registration bug by setting a dark burntool_state to -14 Later Chris finished the fix by setting data_state to full. (See ticket #1477)
• 22:23 Bill set stdsciene to stop in preparation for restarting it. It seems slow and the large number of old faults is distracting

Saturday : 2011.04.16

• 07:00 Queued diffs for sts test exposures by hand with: difftool -input_label STS.nightlyscience -template_label STS.nightlyscience -definewarpwarp -dateobs_begin 2011-04-15 -set_workdir neb://@HOST@.0/gpc1/STS.ng/2011/04/15 -set_data_group STS.20110415 -set_label STS.nightlyscience -set_dist_group STS -set_reduction WARPWARP -simple -distance 0.1 -good_frac 0.1
• 07:12 distribution had a lot of outstanding work. Lots of idle nodes. Restarted distribution. Also removed set the pantasks host ippc15 to off in stdscience (4 instances) and distribution (2 instances).
