1. BE-CO YETS 2015/2016 Planned BE-CO tasks during the YETS 2015/2016
Hardware
Software, Services
Thanks to input from C. Dehavay, B. Ninet, M. Said, S. Catin, J.C. Bau, A. Dworak, D. Cobas, G. Kruk, A. Bland and others

2. GMT Timing Distribution

Current installation

MTG - Master Timing Generation
What do we see on the pictures?
Need information what is really going to be renovated
Solution with fiber

3. GMT Timing Distribution
Replacement of old timing distribution based on VH4 copper cables by fiber optics
Fiber optic cables already partially in place
Wait for missing fiber requested to EN/EL . We don't know yet if they will be install during this YETS
Installation/Replacement of the distribution crates
Old crate will not be kept as backup, we are confident with the new equipment
MTG - Master Timing Generation
Benjamin: Rénovation/Repérage distribution Meyrin (Chassis distribution)
Benjamin: The final strategy is not defined yet. Because we have not enough hardware to replace the old one and all the fiber request made by my predecessor are not installed.

4. GMT Timing Distribution
Prepare the replacement of cables where fiber has been requested
Check all the MTG connections in PSB to see if and for what they are used (PLS-SU or FEC)
Locally distribute timing in building 151 for RF CPS 1- turn feedback cavities
MTG - Master Timing Generation
Benjamin: Rénovation/Repérage distribution Meyrin (Chassis distribution)

5. Pulse Repeater
new ^^
CTDAH (back)
new
Current Situation
CTARA (front)

6. Pulse Repeater
Current installed hardware is already over 40 years old and the cards used are obsolete
New hardware solution partially developed and ready for deployment
TTL ← → BLOCKING (ready)
TTL ← →RS485 (under development)
Hardware to be installed in ELMA VME crate providing SYSMON interface
Start of renovation*
PSB, building 361, BCER677
CPS, building 355, PR86
*Only PSB or CPS will be done during YETS 15/16, decision will be taken Dec/2015

7. OASIS
Renovation of cfv-351-ciaos1 VXI in Linac3/LEIR → installation of 1 new FEC
Renovation of cfv-353-cpaos01, cfv-353-cpaos02, cfv-353-cpaos09 VXI in CPS → installation of 3 new FECs
Installation of cfv-361-cbaos6 to replace the Tomoscope
Upgrade of cfc-361-cbaos7 by adding 2 new digitizers

8. Remote Reset Install Twido in SPS in building 870 (BA3) and 905 (BB3)
Installation 1x Twido in building 151 for RF CPS 1-turn feedback cavities

9. Deconnection, Destruction
Disconnection of cables in PSB already identified to be removed until end of LS2
PSB Injection Timing (cfv-361-ctinj)
PSB Ejection Timing (cfv-361-ctej)
PSB Fast Ejection, Kickers (cfv-361-mkpsbej)
PSB shavers timing (cfv-361-ctrg)
PSB semgrids (cfv-361-bibtm)
PSB orbit and trajectory system (cfv-361-bpmpsb)
B-Train RF and REV, Acquisition Septa, Timing Oasis , Gate BLM Tail clipper, external conditions
Cables will be only disconnected, but not removed yet!
Dismanteling of FEC dpsbrf2 used for the old Low Level RF in PSB

10. LEIR, PSB Transverse Feedback
Renovation of transverse feedback for LEIR (cfv-363-all2) and PSB (dpsbtrfb)
Request just arrived last week, not all details clear yet
Needs more discussion with RF to understand their renovation plans
Renovation of software seems to be the limiting factor
This topic is highly questionable! We first have to talk to Alfred Blas, as he seems to lack information what has to be done, what are the consequences of that.

11. Infrastructure, InCA
Infrastructure - Monday 4.January to Wednesday 6. January
Updates of Servers and Consoles
Especially Monday most of the services will be not available due to update of the NFS servers
As usual we attempt to not affect TI Operation, Access and Cryo too much
Don't expect Working Sets to work, don't schedule e.g. Magnet pulsing in this period
InCA - Monday 11.January to Wednesday 13. January
New InCA release, changes related to automation of CCDB-LSA DB synchronisation (devices and properties)
During these 3 days InCA/LSA services won't be available (working sets, knobs, LSA applications), don't schedule e.g. Magnet pulsing in this period

12. Timing Timing Short disruption of the timing services during January
Foreseen timing interventions
Upgrade of cs-ccr-ctm → Disruption of the DTM distribution for all machines
Upgrade of LIC central timing for Awake project → No GMT and DTM timing distribution for CPS, PSB, LEI, SPS machines. Interventions normally less than 10 minutes
Upgrade of White Rabbit switches in buildings CCR, 2008, 354 and 193 → Timing perturbations on CPS, PSB, LEI, SPS, ADE, CTF machines. Interventions normally less than 30 minutes

13. Drivers Deployment of PCI/PCIe geographical board location scripts
This potentially impacts all PCI/PCIe based FECs OVERALL.
Can be done at any moment during YETS, planned before the global FEC reboot beginning 2016 causing 1day of downtime around 3-4 Jan
Deployment of new encore-based drivers for CVORJ and CVORA
Deployment of new installation schema for Struck sis33** boards and also MTG (drivers.xml removed, transfer.ref only reference)
To be decided, but the expected impact/downtime is always the same → Reboot of the FEC
No system unavailable except during massive reboots during infrastructure updated and reboots of the FECs
