Minutes

Present: Elliott W, Simon T, Vanik K, Mark I, Bryan M, Hovanes E, Beni Z.


TDR

Dave, Curtis and Elliott agree the "Computing" section needs to be split, most likely into two parts, one each for online and offline. Additional splits are possible.


JInventory Database

Elliott reported on recent developments in the component database. Elliott and the techs have been entering foundational information (buildings, rooms, etc). Unfortunately everyone is busy so there's little time to enter real hardware, but everyone seems committed to do this as the benefits down the road can be huge. Still to do are a cable database and better visualization of the various hierarchies.


Mini-Hbook

Sergey Boyarinov developed this for CLAS. He will give a presentation at the next Online meeting. This is a lightweight facility suitable for use in the ROCs where speed is paramount.


Counting House

Hovanes reported that the UPS was moved into the Counting House last week and installation is in progress. 480 V power needs to be run from the Utility room to the Rack Room. The UPS should be working next week. Giles is working on the under-floor power distribution. When that is done we can move racks in, install our network switch and run fibers between the Rack Room and the Telecom Room, and connect to the backbone switch there.


12GeV Project

Slow but continuous work on 12GeV docs, timelines, etc.


Elog and Accelerator Div

Folks in the Accelerator Div. have looked at Elog requirements from the four halls and are happy with them. Theo is working out how to upgrade the Elog to accomodate them. He is also considering using MySql instead of Oracle.

We are also considering transferring some EPICS projects from us to them, in particular for devices they will be controlling during accelerator operations. Hovanes will set up a meeting with them to discuss this.
