Some notes on Dale's image-CD's-to-disk-to-ADSM process. Written in perl, Dale called it save_cds.pl, which I put in /dfs/.rw/admin/bin, giving all root_principals R/W access. To recreate the list of US CD's, /jukeman/cdadm survey -s d=s2jb1.dev +p s:p | grep ^[0-9] > /s2jb1.us To (re)start the program, on each image server, rm /var/spool/logs/*logs (or rename them to something else) Then on 141, I cd /images1 rm nohup.out (or rename it to something else) nohup /dfs/.rw/admin/bin/save_cds.pl /s1jb0.us 1 & so that the nohup.out file is in /images1/nohup.out, and cd /images2 rm nohup.out (or rename it to something else) nohup /dfs/.rw/admin/bin/save_cds.pl /s1jb1.us 2 & so that the nohup.out file is in /images2/nohup.out, On 142, it was cd /images1 rm nohup.out (or rename it to something else) nohup /dfs/.rw/admin/bin/save_cds.pl /s2jb0.us 1 & and cd /images2 rm nohup.out (or rename it to something else) nohup /dfs/.rw/admin/bin/save_cds.pl /s2jb1.us 2 & etc. ============================================================== 6/14 14:30 - Started 2 processes on all servers, with the exception of only 1 process on 145 & 146 due to lack of space for /images2 file system. This meant we had 11 processes total, running. Also, the 1, supposedly US CD on 147's s7jb1, was not US data. 6/15 19:00 - There were various problems with the script, such as the replaying of the log file, and the creation of the patinfo file, so I stopped everything and restarted all 11 runs. After running for about 24 hours, we put 500 GB into ADSM (about 17% of capacity) and processed 235/3389 US CDs (about 7%). This extrapolates into 5 days to fill ADSM tapes to 85%, and 3 batches of tapes to finish the US CDs. 6/19 13:45 -
