The TDAQ System Administration team manages the installation and configuration of the Operating System (OS) of all the nodes of the ATLAS experiment and of the ATLAS TDAQ TestBed Laboratory in the CERN General Purpose Network. The currently supported OS is AlmaLinux 9 and it can be installed locally or via network.
Some of the SoC devices (e.g Zynq MPSoc) can be booted with that supported OS...
The new CMS DAQ electronics for the Phase-2 upgrade are equipped with a ZYNQ MPSoC on the Rear Transition Module (RTM). These ZYNQ MPSoCs are fully network-booted. We present the implementation of the network booting mechanism and its configuration using the DHCP Client ID for geographical addressing within the ATCA chassis. Additionally, we describe the containerized network services running...
In the ATS sector, the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC is deployed on the DIOT platform as a versatile solution. However, its general-purpose nature results in multiple BOOT.BIN files for various applications. To manage this complexity and ensure a reliable boot process across different use cases, we developed a two-stage boot mechanism. This method first initializes a common golden BOOT.BIN,...
The System Administration and networking aspects for supporting the embedded controllers in the ATLAS experiment will be described. Various aspects will be covered such as the network architecture options and restrictions and the operating system (OS) support, management and booting process (the details of which are covered in dedicated presentations).
Most information will be common to both...
