VCM Testing of MUSE Control Software
ESO Garching, 2010-04-16
J.Knudstrup
Conclusion
Overall it seems the consortia is on the right track. I found a number of (potential) issues during the testing, which is normal in this phase of the project. These issues are reported in the table below; I kindly ask the consortia to investigate and resolve the issues, if appropriate.
Notable, it seems that the integration module, “muins”, is now compliant. Needs to be checked more thoroughly though before final acceptance. Apart from one minor issue, the “pkginBuild” building and installation went through without issues.
Note, due to time constraints, I could not carry out a very thorough VCM integration/verification test at this point. I.e., I have not tested all features, e.g. all templates. I will therefore carry out another VCM test during May, this also to ensure that the consortia will be ready for the code review, scheduled for July this year. Also in May, I expect that the NGC SuperDCS (providing merging of the FITS files) is ready and can be tested as well.
Observations
The following observations were made during the test. The consortia is kindly requested to fill in the feedback from consortia for each item after investigating the issue.
# / Description / Answer/feedback1 / Problem starting LCU “lmutccd”, LCC not running after installation and reboot.
Changing:
# MODROOT: /diska/modroot
to
# MODROOT:
in the bootScript and rebuilding the environment, fixed the problem. Is MODROOT really needed for MUSE? / Support Ticket VLTSW20100087 opened
2 / “MS/mumcfg/config/mumcfgSTART.cfg”missing entries to control access to all sub-systems. / Done. The file mumcfg/config/mumcfgSTART.cfg has been modified.

Maybe this template is not valid, but I would suggest to provide a basic template (or some templates) to test/exercise the SGS/Fast Image Reconstruction be exercised. / Will be fixed in the next release
