AWIPS Technology InfusionStandardized Configuration for
AWIPS II Testing (SCAT) Platform
222
AWIPS Technology InfusionSCAT Platform
• Configuration utilizes Linux firewalls to isolate the AWIPS Migration (AM) machines from the baseline AWIPS 1 hosts. – Additional H/W required:
• Two ethernet cables and additional RAM (four 1GB DIMMs) for the edex1 server (low cost)
• Provides sufficient disk space for HDF5 which will allow running with full live data ingest while maintaining the current baseline 24-hour purging.
• Users may switch easily between AM and A1 mode by running a script.• In AM mode, the workstation will have a non-baseline-colored background
– While in AM mode, users on the workstation have ssh access to the A1 side (dx1 and dx2). From the workstation, developers may scp to dx1/dx2 to pull across files or data that may be needed for development of local apps.
• Provides a seamless glide path (long-term) whereby sites can gradually readjust and eventually completely remove the iptables firewall from the AM hosts (with SEC support) in order to test inter-site comms using MHS when running the workstation in AM mode
