 Description   

We need a host at the instrument (past the CB2F network link) to run two instances of ics_roughActor and four instances of ics_enuActor. These are all light-weight and require no significant CPU/memory/disk.

One instance of each will be required for SM1.

rack5-ics?

So if I remember the discussions with cloomis correctly, we need another host at CB2F to handle less critical actors, such as spsActor, spsaitActor, testsActor ...

I'm just copying comment from Yoshida, Hiroshige , which was sent to Jira admin ML for some reason.

For rack5-ics, would a single socket/core/thread guest VM with 4GiB of memory and 16 GiB of disk be sufficient? Do we want to create /software on a virtual disk or do we want to mount from the VM host?

And maybe an existing host shell-ics will handle actors at CB2F?

Comment by cloomis [ 08/Nov/19 ]

In the end there will be ~6 actors on rack5-ics: four ics_enuActor, two ics_roughActor. Can you make that two CPUs? The rest should be fine.

for the  GUIs, we will be using a single machine which is remotely controlled over VNC right ? 

Comment by Yoshida, Hiroshige [ 09/Nov/19 ]

cloomis, the current host has 1 processor, 4, cores, and 8 threads.

I have provisioned this VM. The canonical hostname is "rack5-scr" but "rack5-ics" also works. I did minimum configurations - local user "pfs" only, LDAP identification only (for "pfs-data"), no NFS client, empty /data and /software. Can you take a look and let me know if it is sufficient?

Comment by Yoshida, Hiroshige [ 13/Nov/19 ]

I created a second virtual disk (64 GB), mounted it to /software then rsync'ed with rfa3-vm:/operdata/software.

arnaud.lefur tested and it appears ok. But cloomis to confirm that ticket has been addressed.
