This procedure is based on the one outlined by Moo-Young Chun here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nh-vrKHGmwLOPa4Z-0qiD-I4Vg8kxWrzsBcrDyFC9Dc/edit
The IGRINS data is located on 5 different machines:
DCCS - S Detector Control Computer
DCCH - H Detector Control Computer
DCCK - K Detector Control Computer
ICC - Instrument Control Computer
DSC - Data Server Computer
The DCC hard drives are each 1TB, but only 888GB are available for detector readout.
The ICC has a 1TB hard drive, and the DSC has a 250GB fusion drive and two 2TB hard drives.
All of these hard drives are accessible from the ICC once the volumes have been mounted as part of the IGRINS Startup Procedure.
During a trimester, files are to be copied from the ICC to the DSC in order to make a duplicate of each file. This is in addition to the copy saved by each observer, ensuring at least three copies.
At the start of a trimester all files from the previous trimester will be archived. This is accomplished by:
In order to avoid filling hard drives they must be cleaned after the copies have been made.
The DCC appears to save every fowler read as a separate file, producing 32x8.4MB files for each nod position. For a 12 hour night this is roughly 25GB of storage, and for a 60 night trimester this is 1.5TB of data on a 1TB HD.
So, it is necessary to copy and clean the DCC hard drives more than once per trimester.
The ICC only has space issues if the observer saves every image. The slit view camera produces ~30GB of files each night. We can avoid filling this hard drive by turning off the autosave function.
The DSC should be able to store a year of ICC copied files at a time.
When the ICC and DSC hard drives are full, we will delete the oldest trimester stored. The DCC hard drives will be cleared every other month.
