Action : modification in the SOFI SW: The "Fall Back Initialisation" does not prevent the function for which it is set to move during the ONLINE action. We would like to have this feature enabled: i.e. when a F/BInit is performed: 1- there should be a possibility to backup the database (little button to toggle), so in case of LCU reboot or ICS restart, the SW "knows" that there is a F/BInit for a given function 2- after a F/BInit putting the fiunction ONLINE should not trigger the HW init, i.e. the function should not be moved. 3- add a "restore" button on the F/BInit panel in order to remove the F/B Init when the function initialise properly again Action Log : 7/4/02 2:49:57 PM gandreon The VLT software release March 2002 has an undocumented feature that may be used.

No connectors, proper insulations, impecable work. This is about the 6th time that it occurs spilling liquids on the mirror and NEEDS to be done properly NOW. Action Log : 1/31/02 2:09:27 PM gandreon L Wendegass will analyze the problem this week. 2/7/02 2:40:17 PM gandreon The leak has been traced to a purger that was designed to work vertically. It will be replaced during the technical time on February 12 and 13 with a more suitable model. After accessing this area from inside the tube, it will be decided if a drain or a small tank will be installed in case of other leaks. 2/14/02 5:06:51 PM gandreon The drain was found in place and working. The insulation of the pipes has been completed or improved. Few white cloths have been left as a check in case of further occurrences of the leak. 5/23/02 4:25:18 PM gandreon White clothes should be replaced by sponges, in case of minor condensation. 5/30/02 3:55:14 PM gandreon AGI can provide info on natural sponges. 6/6/02 3:32:27 PM gandreon Sponges are in place.

The workaround is manual edition. It'll be nice to do it before the VLTSW upgrade. Action Log : 6/21/02 1:51:08 PM ikastine The problem was reported in SPR 20010701 and corrected in pom module version 1.58. We are using currently 1.52. One problem remains, the INSTACO command install the pointing model to pomCO.dat file. We are using pomIM.dat file. This means the branch has to be created from version 1.58 to change file name. After this new pom version has to be verified properly to detect probable incompatibilities. I suggest to install and comission new pom version during the upgrade.

Action : After a Problem Request from NTT, Anton investigated the situation of P2PP,here is the report: 11/15/01 11:29:25 aschemrl During my Nov8-15 turno, the analysis of the problem showed the implementation and configuration of jp2pp is a MESS! There are 3p6 users running NTT configurations, which in turn are running WFI jre's. It is obvious that under these conditions a more restrictive solution would take longer to implement on kila, and may not be the ideal solution. This is not an NTT problem, it affects all visiting and local astronomers. A suggestion will be made to create a jp2pp template that will be applied at the time of lsusr account creation. This means running jp2pp on Linux machines that connect to the drl9 server. This will avoid configuration interferences and single user responsibility. This means that jp2pp would be removed from kila. Aproval of this proposal will remain pending until there is a global La Silla agreement among astronom Action Log : 11/22/01 2:37:39 PM gandreon It looks like a good idea. However, his implementation requires a configuration change of Kila & offline systems. To be approved by LSO Management. 12/13/01 3:07:12 PM gandreon FGU sent an email to JME. 12/20/01 3:30:47 PM gandreon P2PP installation in Kila has been cleened up. For the installation on linux boxes, the Director wants written requirements in order to formally start a small project. 1/10/02 2:18:24 PM gandreon JIB volunteered to write draft requirements, to be reviewed by OHA. 1/31/02 2:20:24 PM gandreon Requirements should be sent to OHA. 3/21/02 3:55:01 PM gandreon A meeting is planned for tomorrow (OHA&ASC) 4/18/02 3:58:20 PM gandreon An update procedure has been defined.
