DAQ2 Upgrade Summer 2021

7/26/21

• Working to install centos 7 onto the new DAQ computer

• The secondary HDD cannot be found through bios or centos 7
• Success: managed to mount secondary drive in "Bay 2 Sata"

• Next step is to shut down DAQ and insert drive with centos 7 on it and attempt to setup Bay 2 Sata as the boot

• Timezone set to Denver
• Installing centos 7 on new DAQ with base environment: Server with GUI

• No add-ons selected at this time

• Automatic partitioning is enabled
• KDUMP: Kdump is enabled

• Setup daq user on new machine

• Centos install: Successful

• Was able to boot from Bay 2 Sata into centos 7

• Successful login into daq user

• There does not seem to be x11 or xterm present on system

• Internet was turned off in OS

• To enable: Applications > System tools > Settings > Network > Wired [off] -> Wired [on]
• Wiki access successful

• Cannot gain access to first drive to pull CODA files

• Located at: /run/media/daq/Data\ Storage
• Another possible access point may be at: /run/media/daq/_CentOS-6.2-i386/home/

• This shows directories coseadmin, daq, & faculty, all of which are not accessible

• I was able to directly log into the old daq machine and made a copy of the daq directory on the new machine. This brings the new machine up to date as of today, 7/26/21.

• Copy was completed successfully. Also moved root/dat files into a directory called root_files to clean up main directory

Notes

• lsblk lists drives and partitions within those drives
