Print this reportInstallation of data concentratorI start to install the DAQ system on the test bench. First, I installed Debian 10 on the server and start the installation procedure by following the front-end-setup wiki.
Puppet needs the boot server information when building the data concentrator. So I split the configuration file with reference to LIGO. But puppet cannot read these files. This is due to the misconfiguration of facter. I erased the ifo-name setting and verified that puppet reads configuration files.
Next, when I ran puppet I got an error about installing ethtool. I initially thought it was caused by the manifest of puppet. However, after questioning LIGO CDS, it turned out that my configuration was wrong. I set "ligo_cds_frontend::standalone_puppet: true" to the configuration file and this error was resolved.
The next error was installing CDS software. First, I tried to install version 1.0.6 but failed. I tried clearing the cache, etc., but things did not improve. After consulting with LIGO CDS, we discovered that it was a package dependency issue. I installed version 1.0.8 after they fixed the repository. It is necessary to update the CDS software of the boot server at some point.

Print this reportAfter preparing the RT model, I restarted the installation procedure of the data concentrator and it worked all the way through. After that, I tried to start daqd, but it did not work. After examining the service logs, I found that the NFS mount of the opt directory was failing. It seems that it was not mounted during the reboot. I then restarted the service, but another error occurred. I talked to Erik at LIGO CDS and he advised me to update to version 5.1.0 as there is a bug in the current 5.0.5-1. After the update, the service was successfully started.
