• create the database:

dbadmin project alala ipp isp pxadmin -create -dbname isp

• inject the files into the new database (from directory /data/alala.0/isp-new)

foreach dir (o????)

ipp_serial_inject.pl --telescope PS1 --camera ISP $dir/*.fits --workdir path://ISP/$dir --dbname isp echo $dir

end

start pantasks & register:

module pantasks.pro module.tasks add.database isp chip.off controller host add ipp000 (x4) controller host add ipp002 (x4) controller host add ipp003 (x4) run

I pushed the -exec and -poll timeouts for register fairly low to speed things up. The load on alala is extremely high (~20), but the number of jobs is not very high. I do not see the stack of many dettol commands that would build up in the past. In fact, the top CPU user is frequently 'perl'. The only perl which should be running on alala (pantasks local host) is 'ipp_datapath.pl'. This is being called for every exec since we need to resolve the filenames. Could this the the problem? Or is alala being slammed by the remote operations which hit the database??
