Troubleshooting guide

F. Resetting the MCE4 Array Controller, the Motor Controller, and the Perle
From flamingos1a:
1. telnet baytech userid: mce4pow, motorpow, or perlepow
password: __________[regular flamingos1a password]
(For telnet from a Kitt Peak machine, the baytech's name is flmn-2m-p).
2. reboot 1
3. logout
4. If you rebooted the perle close all daemons (the TEMPS, MOTOR, and MCE4 xterm windows),
otherwise leave them open.
5. initflam.pl
G. Data Transfer & DVD Burning
Data are written to disk on flamingos1a automatically. At the start of every night you should run the mirror
script to move the data from flamingos1a to one of the MacMini computers, from which one can easily save
the data to DVD, external USB hard drive, or transfer data to their home institution or laptop.
Don't even think about writing data to tape.
Instructions for moving data from flamingos1a to second-2:
• From second-2 run ~/bin/mirror flamingos1a <dir>, where <dir> is the data directory in /data/2mguest
on flamingos1a.
• One may plug an external USB hard drive into one of the USB ports on the second-2 monitor. It will
automount as /Volumes/TAG, where TAG is the ID of the disk. Then cd to the external disk, create a
data directory, then cp the data from second-2 to the disk.
Burning DVDs from second-2:
Insert a blank DVD into the second-2 computer and it will bring up a dialog which asks if you want to burn
data to the disk.
One may also ssh into second-2 from a laptop and scp or sftp the data directly to the laptop.
