Overview

An analysis of technology and development of a “to-be” architecture was initially briefed to the AWIPS Systems Engineering Team (SET) on 2/3/04.

To-be architecture provides the framework to complete individual product improvement tasks while maintaining a common goal.

X-terminals Redundant LDAD firewalls

DS/AS replacement Redundant LDAD servers

Serial mux upgrade Full DVB deployment To-be architecture facilitates development of a roadmap for schedule,

budget and deployment planning. Roadmap assists in issue and dependency identification and resource

planning for risk reduction.

Page 14: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

AWIPS To-Be Architecture

Hardware- Utilize Network Attached Storage (NAS) technology- Deploy commodity servers on GbE LAN- Incrementally deployed and activated- Promote reuse of select hardware- Remove limitations of direct attached storage

Software- For availability, move from COTS solution to use of public

domain utilities• Some experience with NCF and REP• Can be decoupled from operating system upgrades• Supports NAS environments• Can be augmented for load balancing if required

- Deploy low cost Linux database engine

Page 15: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

15

AWIPS To-Be Architecture

Methodology

- Stage hardware, move software when ready

- Reuse hardware to ease transition and allow planned decommissioning

- Deploy flexible availability framework Goals

- Decommission AS, AdvancedServer, DS and FDDI

- Support universal deployment of single Linux distribution (currently RHE3.0 with OB6)

- Provide dedicated resource for local applications

- Expandable within framework (easy to add servers)

- Deploy to subset of sites prior to February 2005

Page 16: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

16

Step 1 – Initial Hardware Deployment

Release OB4 is a prerequisite Initial staging of hardware

- New rack

- NAS w/LTO-2 tape (~400GB storage and backup)

- 2 commodity servers – DX1/DX2

- 2 GbE switches and associated cables, etc

- 2 8-port serial mux replacements (installed in PX1/2) NAS key to incremental deployment and activation

Serial mux replacements installed but not activated LTO-2 drive for site backup New hardware and PX1/PX2 on GbE LAN LDAD firewall upgrade deployed independently

Step 1 - Incremental Activation

Activate NAS- Point DS to NAS

• Allows DS1/DS2 to be used as active/active pair using existing MC/ServiceGuard infrastructure

• Decommission DS mass storage and autoloader- Point PX1/PX2 to NAS

• Maintain active/active pair• Deliver new availability mechanism• De-activate cluster management portion of AS2.1• PowerVault (PV) deactivated for near-term

Connect PX1/PX2 to GbE LAN and install PCI-X cards as future AS serial mux replacement once APS port is complete

Most data to the NAS, temporary files continue to be written to local diskPlanning early October OAT to verify DS1/DS2 and PX1/PX2 failover and

NAS data availabilityRequire a full deployment decision in mid-October to complete deployment of

initial 64 sites by 1 Feb 05

Page 20: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

20

Step 1- Considerations

Current plan is to move data from DS mass storage and PX PowerVault to NAS

- Limited to 2GB tar files

- Some sites will need to clean up px1data and px2data prior to NAS installation

Rack placement at WFOs

- Early sites will have “extra” rack longer than sites deployed later in 2005

Step 2- Decommission AS1/AS2

Release OB4 maintenance release (OB4.X) of stable OB5 software required for AS decommissioning

Activate DX1/DX2

- Infrastructure/decoders move to DX1

- IFP/GFE to DX2

- Newly ported functionality to DX1 Reuse PX1 and PX2 as PX1 and SX1

- PX1 for applications/processes using processed data

- SX1 for Web Server, local applications and eventually LDAD

- Activate serial mux replacement and ported APS Non-ported software from AS1 to DS2 DX1/DX2 deployed with RH 7.2 as risk reduction

Step 2- Incremental Activation

Failover scheme

- DX1 to DX2

- DX2 to DX1

- PX1 applications and servers to DX2

- PX1 processes APS and NWWSProduct to SX1 (require PCI-X card access)

- SX1 baseline software to PX1 Decommission AS1/AS2 and excess rack Linux SMTP MTA deployed as start of migration from x.400

(required for DS decommission)

Provide sites with some level of performance improvement as early as software readiness allows

Page 25: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

Step 3 – Deploy Data Base and OS

Deploy Linux PostgreSQL data base engine to DX1

- Move existing PV to new rack and connect to DX1/2

- Reconfigure PV (possibly into 2 separate direct attached disk farms, one for each DX)

- Database availability via mirrored or replicated databases is TBD at this time

- May be accelerated to OB5 for fxatext database Migrate ported databases

Upgrade operating system (currently RHE3.0) on all applicable hosts LX/XT CP (if full DVB deployment complete)

Step 3 – Incremental Activation

Decommission AS 2.1 and HP Informix HP Informix engine can remain on DS for site use Transition to SMTP and decommission x.400 Consideration - Can/should PostgreSQL be delivered early to RH7.2

DXs?

- Most sites run software against GFS databases, not their own databases.

- Database and software will be tested with RHE3 only as part of OB6.

- If databases delivered early how/when does parallel ingest get developed and tested?

- Should RFCs be handled differently?

Page 29: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

29

Step 4 – Deploy LDAD Upgrade

Deploy LS1 and LS2

- Deploy redundant server pair (requirements still tbd)

- Could reuse PX1/SX1 as LS1/LS2 and use new generation hardware for PX1/SX1

Activate LS1/LS2

- Migrate internal LDAD processing to SX1

- Some internal and external LDAD processing must transition at same time

Reuse existing HP LS on internal LAN

- Existing 10/100 MB LAN card

OAT begins about 9/30Need for early hardware deployment decision (by mid Oct)

- Risk hardware issues might not surface in so short a time- Can’t stress hardware much within these constraints- Possible a severe problem surfaces in operations - would affect

entire scheduleWill take 60 days to finish OAT to ensure installation or

software issues are found and fixedCombine with Serial MUX Replacement OAT

Preliminary Mod Note proof on NMTW 12 Test sites 1 RH (1st site, safest) 1 RFC 1 NCEP 9 WFO OB4 Prerequisite (Begin 9/23) - Will affect pace of installations Conflicts with VTEC and Watch by County ORDs (8/30-10/13) Sites selected based on:

- History of poor performance and risk in severe wx- Cover the spectrum of site types- Space for new rack

Risk Factors- Expect similar installation issues as encountered in PX install- Repointing all databases to new location (NAS)- Unknown local mounts- Rush on decisions and limited sites mean risk of not finding install or operational

issues until deployment Unknown how much relief step 1 will give sites

- Faster I/O should help but more problems might lurk OCONUS sites: unknown whether standard system will help their severe

problems- Additional engineering might be required- OAT will give info on whether more is needed

Maintenance Concept

Linux device fails- Open trouble ticket with NCF

• Hardware

• Network

• Software

- Hardware failure• Order new from CLS

- Network failure• If external, use NGIT resources

to repair

• If internal, order new from CLS

Page 51: DS/AS REPLACEMENT  STEP 1 CRITICAL DESIGN REVIEW 8/10/04 Tim Hopkins

51

Maintenance Concept

Software failure- Open DR and/or provide work around until next MR- OS only in step 1

Linux hardware failure- Order new LRU from CLS- Once received, ship defective unit back in same container- Call NCF- Install new device- Site works with NCF to recover/configure device
