Dear VLBIers,

Here is an initial plan for the disk logistics for the November VLBI
session. Comments welcome from those who care about such things.

Cheers, Steven

I will ship the following disks to each telescope, hopefully by the
end of next week. I will ship all ATCA/Mopra disks to Narrabri and
arrange distribution of the Mopra disks from there. I will ship all
Hobart/Ceduna disks to Hobart and whoever is going to Ceduna can take
the Ceduna disks with them. Tasmanians, when will you leave to travel
to Ceduna i.e. when do I have to have the Ceduna disks in Hobart?

Disks for Tidbinbilla are already at the telescope.

The total volume of disk space being allocated is ~52 TB. This will
support the 5 disk-based experiments currently in the version 2.0
schedule for November: V189a, V192a, V190e, V215a, and V190d.

ATCA
2 x (7 x 180 GB Xraid) [P1-7; P8-14]
3 x (7 x 500 GB Xraid) [D1-7; V001, A1-7; V001, B1-7]
1 x (4 x 400 GB IDE)

Mopra
2 x (7 x 180 GB Xraid) [PAT1-7; P8-14]
3 x (7 x 500 GB Xraid) [D8-14; V002, A1-7; V002, B1-7]
1 x (4 x 400 GB IDE)

Parkes
2 x (7 x 180 GB Xraid) [W1-7; W8-14]
3 x (7 x 500 GB Xraid) [K1-7; K8-14; X1-7]
1 x (4 x 400 GB IDE)

Hobart
2 x (7 x 500 GB Xraid) [Ho1, 1-7; X8-14]

Tidbinbilla
2 x (7 x 500 GB Xraid) [V004, A1-7; SWIN1,1-7]

Ceduna
1 x (4 x 400 GB IDE)

The breakdown of disks across the various experiments are as follows
(with notes). This will all be transferred to the wiki pages in more
detail once the pages are available:

* Data for V192a will be recorded on 7 x 500 GB disks at the ATCA and
Parkes and transferred to Sydney via fibre to an xraid at Marsfield.
Following transfer, the local xraids at the ATCA and Parkes can be
cleaned, ready for v190e and v190d.

^ These sets of 4 x 400 GB disks will be used to record data for both
V189a and V215a

" This set of 7 x 500 GB disks will be used to record data for each of
V189a, V190e, and V215a

"" This set of 7 x 500 GB disks will be used to record data for each
of V189a and V190e (I've guessed at the V004, 1-7 label for the
ATNF-owned disks)

*" This set of 4 x 400 IDE disks will be used to record both V190e and V215a

?? I don't know how the V215a data will be recorded at Hartebeesthoek
