Re: NOAA port Datoo failure

Robert,

I resending this message in case you didn't get it the first time, since I
heard that you had a breakin on some systems.  I think a good starting
point would be to install the latest SDI s/w.  I will put it on a ftp dir
only for a short period of time because it's not public s/w.  So I need
a note saying that you are ready to receive the s/w.

After talking to our system admin, we feel that their might be a h/w
problem on the machine since you said that the machine hangs ( os hang )
and that you need to do a hard reboot.  SA wants to login into the machine
to check for problems and also to set up the machine so the next time it
hangs he can extract some information about problem.  

If you change the slot that the SDI card was in, the system needs to be
rebooted with "boot -r" so it can check the card configurations. 

None of the other ingest system demonstrate the hang symptoms.  Has any
machine configuration changes taken place around the time the system
started to hang?  

Anything else you can think of about this problem would be helpful.
