APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday January 28, 2010 (MJD 55225) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observers: Dan Oravetz Howard Brewington Support: Steph Snedden (IM) Jon Brinkmann (phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVERLS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to bad weather. We cannot ping BOSS or do a boss mechStatus; see log. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- 00:30Z Started afternoon checkout, which was delayed because of snow removal. 00:32Z Sunset with clouds, snow, and high humidity. 00:48Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 128G 7.1G 95% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 850G 21G 98% /data hub25mp:/home 92G 85G 7.2G 93% /home_hub25m sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 79G 1.8T 5% /files 01:15Z We discovered that we could not ping the dataBase, BOSS, or gcam. Steph was able to fix gCam; we called Jon Brinkmann about BOSS. He thought that the spectros were powered down. We checked the power supplies, and all was well. The specMech boxes were okay too. Next, Jon asked that we check connections on the BOSS-ICC computer as well as connections at the fiberMux box at the telescope; all was okay. Next, Jon logged out the ports, restarted BOSS-ICC, and restarted the hubNubbs, which allow us to do a BOSS mechStatus. Yet, we still could not do a boss ping. After a few minutes, however, we lost the ability of doing the boss mechStatus.
