WFO-Advanced Software Configuration

Listed here are the GSD WFO-Advanced systems and their software configurations.

Systems supporting our AWIPS development work:

fslc: current field release from Raytheon, normally installed when around 2/3 of field sites have upgraded
fsld: development system, used for testing the in-development release
ALPS: advanced testbed, running current development software
a2dp: AWIPS II development/test platform

Other systems (non-AWIPS projects):

avs: RSA project staging and testing
ffc: FXC support for GTAS (DHS) project

NWS uses RHEL4 in OB7 - OB9 (fslc, fsld, ALPS), and OB9.1 constitutes an upgrade to RHEL5.

Where and when do the builds run?

GSD - avs

avs supports the RSA project

Data feeds for avs

SBN	cpsbn1-alps (TG & NESDIS)
Radar	cx-alps (ORPG 10, w/simulated data)

RSA OB4 runs on RedHat AS2.1, which is on all of the avs boxes.

GSD - ffc

ffc supports the GTAS work with NWS/DHS

GSD - fslc

We usually run the current field release on fslc, normally installed when around 2/3 of the field sites have upgraded.

Note: Technically speaking, ls1-fslc is now (12/07) a pair of Linux boxes named ls2 and ls3 - but logically accessed as ls1.

GSD - fsld

This is our NWS AWIPS development system, running RHEL4. We stage the in-development software here for testing. We are moving to RHEL5, with half of the boxes completed.

GSD - fsli

Given Raytheon's for NWS to develop a completely new AWIPS II, and GSD's reduced role in AWIPS I development, the fsli system was decommissioned in November 2006.

GSD - ALPS

ALPS is our platform for exploratory work. We run the current development software here.
