Around 2PM, MC1 started to swing crazily.
The damping feedback was not working and it was actually exciting the mirror wildly.
It turned out that the sign of the UR and UL OSEM signals flipped at that time.
Restarting c1sosvme fixed the problem.
While I was looking for the cause of the problem, c1susvme1 and c1susvme2 failed several times.
I don't know if it is related to this problem.
Now it is not trivial to restart c1susvme1. It fails to restart if you just power cycle it.
Alberto and I had to connect an LCD and a keyboard to it to see what was going on. After pushing the reset button on the front panel,
I had to press Ctrl+x. Otherwise, the state LED of c1susvme1 stays red and nothing happens.
After Ctrl+x, the boot screen came up but the boot sequence failed and an error message something the following was shown:
"PXE Boot failed, check the cable"
So I swapped the network cable with c1susvme2, which was already up and running.
This time, c1susvme1 started fine and surprisingly, c1susvme2 stayed alive.
Currently, both c1susvme1 and c1susvme2 are up and running with the LAN cables swapped.
We have to check the LAN cables. |
