Spend some time testing 7 scis disk at the summit for a spex spare or Solaris spares. Found 2 good disk and setup on-line spares on planck. 4 disk are to be stored in the Spex cabinet at the Summit. These are 68-pin SCSI disk. Disk 4 was put into the planck external SCSI box for a bigdog online spare. The good disk: #2, #5, #6, #7 were put into the spex cabinet for futures spares. The bad disk #1, #3 are for disposal. I also put millikan back in the computer rack. I removed a plactic bag covering the top air vent & removed the foam to help air circulation. Please do not STUFF Foam/Bags to dampen noise (and reduce Air Flow). I will like start a new techgroup item to relocate this equipment rack in either the blue print room or in the Instrument Prep Room - This would be a better solution, rather that the current 'add more foam, remove the foam' game thats going on. I measured the temperature in the observers room: 73 degs. in the rack at the middle: 77 deg. in the rack at the top: 87 deg. ------------------------------------- 1. seagate ST336754LW * Did newfs & mounted WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1/sd@0,0 (sd0): -> lots of errors while restoring /mnt/r BAD 2. seagate ST318453LW - guidedog's boot disk - failed 12/2006. newfs & mounted -> OK. restored bigdog image to disk -> OK.
