Last Update: 16/04/98 VLT-SW-NOV97 - INSTALLATION =========================== The following remarks came from the installation performed in Paranal and on other ESO sites. They are mainly typos or minor errors. The important ones are labeled * * * MANDATORY * * *. They will be fixed with the next release. When relevant, patched files are provided under "patched files" VLT-MAN-ESO-17200-0642, issue 1.9 - VLT Common Software Installation Manual --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.21 last line: ./CCDSW/ ...... --> ./CCD .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * MANDATORY * * * p.23 3.4 The vlt.cshrc in the tape contains a severe error (still defines environment for VX5.2 instead for TORNADO). Use the version available under "patched files". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.25 3.4.5 VxWorks-TORNADO in the /doc/install_NOV97_Tornado.ascii correct the following typo: - to Save Space, you may not install solaris stuff on HP and viceversa. For instance, an HP installation can be limited to: x Tornado Object hp9700 x mc68k x VxWorks BSP.mv162-mv162lc x VxWorks BSP.mv166-mv167 x WindFoundation Class:mc68k x Windview for Tornado: hp9700 x mc68k - correct the following typo: ./buidVxWorks >& .... --> ./buildVxWorks >& .... The provided procedure defines all the steps, including the installation of licenses keys (introduced by WindRiver with Tornado). Actually, licenses are needed by the remote debugger and other GUI-based development products. No license key is needed to cross compile, although run time licenses are still required, but they are not encoded as license keys. To get the license keys may require few days. Providing that you are entitle to use a run time license, you can continue the installation as follows: skip step 7, 8, 10, 15. You will do them when you will receive the keys execute 9, 11, 12. If you have an LCU connected, do 13 and 14. At this point you can continue with the rest of the installation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.26 3.4.6 RTAP For very big databases, the "maxdsiz" kernel parameter must be set to a bigger value. Default value : 0x04000000; correct value: 0x08000000. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.26 line before the last: $stenv .... --> $setenv .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.27 buildDMD There are two minor errors: - if, for any reason, it is repeated, the installation fails due to the following problem in /DMD/rtd/makelinks script. line 25: rm -f $i ---> rm -rf $i - the file suggested for the verification (ngc1316o.fits) is not included in the kit anylonger. Use instead: /vlt/dflow/bin/rtd -file /DMD/rtd/rtdimg/images/ngc1275.gzfits --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.27 before 3.4.8 add the following: REMARK: as part of the self test, catlib installation tries to access the ESO archive ("archive.eso.org"). If this is not defined, TEST FAILED messages are produced. Ignore such messages if you do not have the archive defined. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.27 3.4.8 MIDAS in the /doc/install_NOV97_MIDAS.ascii correct the following typos: MIDAS user environment ---------------------- $ cd $MIDASHOME $ makedir midas_tmp --> mkdir midas_tmp Midas 001> compile.all --> Midas 001> @ compile.all --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.29, table of build scripts: ./buildTcsim --> ./buildTcssim --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.29, variable (4) NOTCS: "the Instrumentation Common ... --> "the Telescope Control .... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.31 middle.

The procedure is correct for a new installation. If you are already using the VLTSW, you have two possibilities: - acting as a new installation and manually add your values - converting the old SQL data sources using the system described in the RELEASE NOTES FOR VCC CONFIGURATION. Please be aware of a printing error: sed -e "|\(prog_environment.........." should be: sed -e "|\(prog_environment.........." > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.40 6. Create a plain ASCII.... The accLoadData in the tape does not define the subnet table. If you have more than one subnet, please use the version available under "patched files". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.41 let msql starts BEFORE rtap: S130msql --> S110msql --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.41 before 4.4 add the following. REMARK: for HP-UX 10.20 installations only. HP-UX provides a default value for msql in /etc/services. This may interfere with this installation. Please comment as follows: In /etc/services: ..... #msql 1111/tcp # Mini SQL database server ..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * * MANDATORY * * * p.43 step c. Change: 0,5,.... /vlt/MAY97 ....

For instance, in Paranal installation they are: = /vlt/NOV97 = /vltdata = /data/insroot/SYSTEM/DETDATA = tcsmgr = vlt before 4.4 add the following. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.45 step 4 1 Pro> --> 1 cmdManager (Com)> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.45 step 5 1 Pro> --> 1 (Com)> cmdManage --> cmdManager --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.46 step 3 -> i --> processes are listed in a different order. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.61 6.1.1 first line B.10.10 --> B.10.20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- p.62 buildGNU in the verification step, the buildGNU procedure still lists the old version of some packages. Please ignore the differences (the installed ones are correct) or use the correct buildGNU available under "patched files". Solaris ONLY: /opt/gnu is no longer removed in order to preserve previously installed software. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ___oOo___
