EBPG5200 Linux Workstation Notes Abstract How to use and maintain the Linux Master Control Computer (MCC) for the EBPG5200 reasonable steps have been taken to ensure that this publication is correct and complete, but should there be doubt about any details, clarification may be sought from Vistec Lithography Limited, or their accredited representative.

INTRODUCTION The EBPG5200 Linux Workstation is configured in the way the Vistec engineers use it as well. The advantage of this is that if any discussion is made with Vistec engineers, they know where to find the files and eventually support is easier.
SYSTEM SPECIFIC INFORMATION Table 1: System specific Information Hardware Base system Z820 2*450GB RAID 1 Storage Memory 8 GB memory Swap 16 GB partition Software Operating System Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.4, 64bit Beams y09_06e Network Information Hostname a217 Account Number 3c5d-1b38-3d51-631a...
HOW TO USE PROJECTS Beams commands make use of the environment variables which point to directories in wherein to write files or wherefrom to read files. Directly after login, these environment variables have default the next values: PG_BIN="/home/pg/bin" PG_JOBS="/home/pg/jobs" PG_LOG="/home/pg/log" PG_PATTERNS="/home/pg/patterns"...
Although a new beams-release can be got and installed in one action as shown above, it is recommended to do it in two steps. First get the release y09_07a from the Vistec ftp server: [beams@a217 ~]$ beams y09_07a --get Then extract and install beams-release y09_07a: [beams@a217 ~]$ beams y09_07a --install That is all to upgrade beams.
DOCUMENTATION The distributions of “beams” include documentation files in html format and manual- pages. To get a full list of available “pg” commands, enter next command: [pg@a217 pg]~> man pg For detailed help for a particular “pg” command see the header “SEE ALSO” in the above manual page, e.g.: [pg@a217 pg]~>...
See further the “beams”-documentation NETWORK When the system has to get other network settings for the Internet, execute: [root@a217 ~]# nm-connection-editor Then the next window appears on the screen: To make changes to the Internet, only change the device “eth0”. Ask the local network manager for the details to get system connected to the Internet.
RAID 1 STORAGE The system is delivered with a hardware RAID 1 implementation, which consists of one controller on the motherboard and 2 450GB SAS-disks. These two disks make, together one 450GB storage device. With RAID 1, a storage device contains 2 disks, which are identical mirrored.
Thus it is a good practice to keep the IP-address of a217 in /etc/hosts to 127.0.0.2 in case the system is still at Vistec but when it is at the final destination, the IP-address of a217 should be the IP-address of the system itself.
LINUX TOOLS On the system a set of tools are installed. These tools can be displayed by the command “tools”: [pg@a217 pg]~> tools Vistec Linux tools V02.02 (26-MAY-2010) astyle backup dump_nfs evaluate fbfiles findf gnome listpath preference purge search selinux...
BACKUP Although the system has a RAID 1 storage system, backups must always be done from at least the critical software. The critical software are the custom files in the /home/*- directories. Backups must always be done from at least the critical software. The critical software are the custom files in the /home/*-directories.
“a217” before the counter has reached 0. By selecting “a217”, the automatic standard installation procedure begins and will install everything what is needed to control the EBPG5200: a217, including the EBPG5200 control software BEAMS with the user accounts etc. etc.
11.2. Manual Linux installation Once the Welcome screen with the installation options appears on the screen, just press <enter> or wait until the countdown timer has reached 0 seconds, to select the default installation option: “Install or upgrade an existing system”: After a while the next dialog appears on the screen: ┌──────────────┤...

After the reinstallation of Redhat Enterprise Linux, the backup-ed home directories must be restored. Transfer the backup files: a217_beams_<date>.tar.gz and a217_pg_<date>.tar.gz to the reinstalled system and extract them: [root@a217 ~]# cd /home [root@a217 home]# tar –xzf a217_beams_<date>.tar.gz [root@a217 home]# tar –xzf a217_pg_<date>.tar.gz To setup the “beams”...
If still nothing is mounted, mount the DVD manually: [root@a217 ~]$ mount /media/CDROM Go to the vc_ctrl directory: [root@a217 ~]$ cd /media/CDROM/vistec/vc_ctrl Put a USB-stick from which its data can be destroyed into a free USB port of the MCC and enter next command:...
12.3. Make the Automation PC USB stick bootable. To be able to boot the Automation PC from a USB-stick three settings from the factory default settings in the BIOS have to be changed. In principle this has to be done only once in the Automation PC’s life time.
4) Be sure the DVD is mounted in the drive of the MCC-computer. 5) Be sure the prepared USB-stick is in a free USB-port of the Automation PC. 6) Be sure the subnet of the EBPG5200 is setup well; including the power of the HUB is turned on.

Secure Interactive login (ssh) Secure file transfer (sftp) Secure tunnelling (ssh –L<port>:<host>:<port>) An extra security item is to only allow the Vistec IP-address to get through the local networks firewall and access the machine. The IP-addresses of Vistec are: 62.132.232.130 Best (nl) 216.136.44.158...
Windows version are included on the Linux DVD delivered with the system. The receiver must be installed on another system in the network which can “see” the a217 computer system. Windows version: /media/CDROM/vistec/rgs/receiver/win32/Setup.exe Execute this file in a Windows environment and follow the steps to install it. Linux 64bit version /media/CDROM/vistec/rgs/receiver/x86_64 Execute in this directory install.sh and follow the steps to install it.

Now there are two possibilities: 1) select "Activate Volume" This will activate the RAID array and will find all devices connected to it. This will also make the secundairy disk the primary. 2) select "Delete Volume" This makes the RAID-controller an ordinary SAS disk controller. Thus the next time the computer boots, the computer boots from the first disk it finds connected to this controller.
