I tried telnetting to both of these machines: I was able to telnet to met-05, but not met-62. I could note even telnet to met-62 from met-05. >Ideally, I would like to have everything on met-62.oswego.edu, but >what confuses me is the ldm-mcidas support for decoding the area files. >As I mentioned, we are not able to ingest GOES-12 images. From what I could see, the majority of GOES-12 images are being decoded on met-05. Whether or not they are being decoded into the directory you are expecting them to be in is what I see as the issue. The GOES-12 images that were not being decoded are the Floater I ones. The reason that the Floater images were not being decoded was that the pattern being matched in ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf was expecting a GOES-8 in the proctuct header, and these are now GOES-12. I changed the pattern and sent a HUP to the pqact process so that it would reread the pqact.conf entries and use the new ones. >We do not >have ldm-mcidas on met-62, but you installed it on met-05 running >Red Hat 5.2.

Installing a current LDM and ldm-mcidas on met-62 will not be a problem as soon as I can login to the machine, and IF you have a current development environment on it. I tried to build LDM-6.0.11 on met-05, but the OS is a _VERY_ old RedHat Linux, version 5.2. Since we no longer support RH 5.2, the build of the LDM failed. Hopefully, met-62 is a newer/supported version of RedHat Linux. >I assume this would require installing ldm-mcidas. If you have time >to do that, then the satellite files could go in > /var/data/ldm/gempak/images/sat >on met-62. It would be nice to have everything on one machine. Again, no problem as soon as I can logon and if the OS/development environment are supported (they should be since you previously told me that met-62 was running RedHat 7.3 Linux. >We >have been using the ldm-mcidas that you installed on met-05 because >I never learned how to set up ldm-mcidas/area file decoding on our >newer machine (met-62). Two things I did on met-05: o update the copies of SATANNOT and SATBAND in ~ldm/etc to ones new enough to contain entries fo rGOES-12 o change a couple of entries in ~ldm/etc/pqact.conf so that Floater I products would get decoded. If your GEMPAK environments are looking for the GOES-12 images to be found under ~ldm/data/gempak/images/sat/GOES-12, then the pqact.conf entries on met-05 will need to be upgraded. Since the OS on met-05 is so old, I think that the best move would be to see what is preventing telnets to met-62; fix it; and then have me upgrade the LDM and ldm-mcidas decoders on it. I will look into things more tomorrow after I can telnet to met-62.
