- Available for friendly users for completing acceptance testing
- Jobs launch from lsst-dev7. NFS home directories available on lsst-dev7.
- /scratch (GPFS) available on lsst-dev7 plus compute nodes. No quota. 180 purge. No backup.
Prototype Data Access Center (PDAC) formerly Integration Environment
- All database nodes still in transit. Arriving pre configured for DHCP per plans for Chile.
- All other nodes racked but not provisioned (efforts on verification cluster).
- Firewalls racked and networked. VPN and firewall configs remaining.
- Availability targetted week of the 26th
Upcoming Activities
Acquisition Strategy Document (Sept). Need input on hardware needs.
- DAQ test stand to arrive this fall/winter.
- L1 end-to-end testing structure
- Jim Parson's request for physical hardware for latency sensitive testing.
- I see the above 3 items along with the WAN simulator fitting together
- Retire all old LSST hardware at NCSA (include lsst10/lsstdb)
- Hardware expansions for PDAC (if needed)
- Nebula compute & storage expansion if needed (not likely)
