• 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

• 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

• MAC address and name swapped by CoSE IT to that of old daq

• ROOT rebuilt with latest stable version, 6.20, after cmake was updated

• Installed all dependencies following instructions for centos 7 on cern website

• I believe these instructions has updated CMake to version >=3.9 as the default

Notes
