G. Data Taping
1) Packrat's dds4 tape drive is /dev/rmt/0cn. Here are some common taping commands:
flamingos packrat 28> mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn status
flamingos packrat 29> mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn fsf #
flamingos packrat 30> mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn rewind
flamingos packrat 31> mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn offline
flamingos packrat 32> tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0cn *.fits
H. Data Transfer
To use a tape device on either packrat you must transfer it from flamingos1b first. One option is to ftp the data
from Flamingos to packrat. A better option is to run on packrat the program autocopy to copy each image
from Flamingos to packrat as you take data.
1. Transfer using ftp:
ftp flamingos1b
Set binary mode, turn off the prompt, and grab all fits files: bin; prompt; mget *fits
2. Transfer using autocopy:
At start of night make a data directory on flamingos and packrat with the same name, e.g.
mmtguest@flamingos1b{3} mkdir 2003feb12
flamingos packrat 33> mkdir 2003feb12
Make the flamingos data directory world writable, e.g.
mmtguest@flamingos1b{3} chmod a+w 2003feb12
From the flamingos home directory on packrat, run autocopy. For example:
flamingos packrat 34> cd; autocopy
At the prompt type the data directory name, e.g. 2003feb12. After you have taken a few
frames, you should see the data being transferred to packrat.
