Weekly log #51 for week ending 03-09-1996

Ran the defragmenter on the Quick and Hot disks on Cajon.
There was a problem on Carizo that turned out to be an expired license for part of DECnet. Re-installing the license fixed the problem.
Created a Pathworks for Macintosh queue for the large-format HP plotter.
Turned on DECnet event logging on BIGONE as part of the research into why DECnet connections sometimes suffer momentary interruptions.
Located the USGS Plotlib software on Carizo for Doug.
Attended the USGS staff meeting and the weekly Timers meeting.

Replaced the power supply module on the DecSwitch 900. The original power supply was a loaner.
Installed the FDDI controller in Carizo and hooked up the fiber. Carizo is now connected to the DECswitch through FDDI.
Did some experiments to verify that the FDDI network and DECswitch are working as promised.
Moved Bbear to one of the DECswitch ports. This will allow Tejon and Carizo to have a clear channel for moving large amounts of data on and off of the disk on Bbear.

Moved about 100,000 blocks of old log files off of MEM04 onto tape in order to free up some space on the disk.
Assisted OES with troubleshooting a problem with the EDIS satellite receiver in the telemetry room.
Moved the Anza data files that we have received so far off of the Tejon system disk and onto the big disk on Carizo.
Assisted Chuck with setting up the TCP/IP software on his PC.
Got information from the people at Scripps in San Diego about changes in how they will be sending the Anza data to us. They will be including a third file containing picks.

Defragmented the Hot and Quick disks on Cajon.
Talked to DEC to get ordering information about software upgrades to change the DECswitch 900 into a multi-protocol router.
Made changes to the Anza data receiver program to include the pick file. The new program is now running in a test mode.
Mojave crashed on Friday. There was a spike in network traffic that turned out to have been caused accidentally by a test gone wrong.
Got a public-domain disk defragmenter program from DECUS. Ran the analysis utility on the disks on Tejon and Carizo.
