Steps followed for adding 13th&14th channels to the present transmission system

On 20/08/2010 at 12:35 AM we took backup from NMX main server for 12 channels
At 12:40 AM removed server redundancy between both servers
At 12:50 AM restored 14 channels database in standby NMX server
We checked all parameters & changed channel name, video PID, Audio PID and PMT PID
Then started Domain Manager in standby server
Observed glitches, white frames and blanks randomly about 2 min at 1:03 AM (we suspecting problem in 14 channel database)
We stopped Domain Manager of standby server and restored to previous database.
Then we created 13th and 14th channels manually & made necessary connections in main NMX server Digital Service Manager etc.,(Statmux rate adjusted to 30.90 from 30.99 mbps to increase null rate for CAS).
We rebuilt service configuration in Digital Service Manager. At this we observed 15 sec blank which is compulsory.
Then 13th & 14th channels are added to statmux pool. At this time we observed glitches, blanks and white frames about 2 min while configuring bitrates in statmux.
Then 14th channel was disabled.
Verified all PID's and necessary tests are done.
Then redundancy added for both servers and tested successfully.
After this,new services was added and configured in PISYS (13th channel) and tested successfully with regular commands.
At 3:45 am transmission chain changed to Standby path(MUX,SAS,MOD)
At 4:00 am we disabled 13th channel in NMX server and verified all PID's at the downlink.
At 4:15 am transmission chain changed to main path(SAS,MUX,MOD).

About Earthing in Electrical circuits

EARTHING.

Earthing and it’s types.
It is very important to earth the line and electrical equipment. It will be electrically unsafe without earthing. The pole/ body of equipment connected solidly to earth is called earthing.

1)For Electrical supports and equipments.
It case of short circuit or leakage, current will pass with minimum resistance to earth so that maximum current will flow through effected circuit so that fuse will blow or circuit breaker to trip. This will isolate the faulty line or equipment from live circuit.

2)Transformer neutral earthing.
a.The leakage or unbalanced current will have path with minimum resistance.
b.Sensitive protecting equipment works properly. (Earth Fault Relay.)
c.It prevents the lines being charged to excessive high voltage due to lightening or switching surges.
d.By connecting resistance in the neutral earthing, fault current is controlled.
e.It helps for keeping neutral voltage always zero.

3)For Lightening Arrestor: -
The lightening arrestor earthing discharges the lightening charge with very low resistance, which prevents possible damages. For this, very low earth resistance is necessary. This quality can be achieved by piercing earth electrode deep in the ground up to wet soil. Earth resistance depends on-
1)Types of soil, (2) Temperature of soil, (3) Wetness of soil, (4) Minerals in soil, (5) Size of Electrode, (6) Cross section of electrode, (7) Deepness of electrode in ground, (8) Distance between two electrodes.
Earth tester measures Earth resistance and its unit is ohm.

LINE AND POLE EARTHING.

1)Every fifth metallic pole of L.T. line should be earthed.
2)Cross arms, top clip, insulator pins of P.S.C. pole should be earthed along with the pole.
3)Guarding at Railway crossing, Telephone crossing, Road crossings should be earthed along with pole on both side. If earth electrode is not available 8 S.W.G. G.I. wire coil of 25 mm dia and 120 to 150 mm long should be used and placed in a pit at a distance of 90 cms. from pole at a depth of 150 cms. It is very necessary to earth the guarding. All the metal fittings of L.T. pole and stay should be earthed and connected firmly to neutral because neutral is multiple earthed neutral.
4)A separate earth electrode to be used for L.A. earthing and the earth wire should be through an Alkathine pipe without touching the pole.




Methods of Earthing.
1)Plate Earthing :
A) In major power stations and major sub-stations 12 mm thick, 1200 m long, 1200 mm wide Cast Iron plates are used.
B) For minor sub-stations 18 mm broad, 50 x 50 cm. G.I. plates are used. These plates are dug vertically in the pit. Coal, sand and salt are filled in the pit each of 150 mm layer. The plate should be dug deep so that soil will be wet from all sides. The plate should be placed at a distance of 1200 cm. from each other.
2) Pipe Earthing.
A) For Power Stations, and major sub-stations 12 mm thick, 150 mm dia, 300 cms. Long G.I. pipes are used. A minimum distance of 1200 cm. should be kept between earth electrodes in major sub-stations and 180 cms in case of minor sub-stations. At least one electrodes to be used at every corner in sub-stations. Each electrical equipment structure and the entire metal fitting should be earthed. Three earth electrodes are used for pole-mounted transformer. The transformer neutral and body should be double earthed. A minimum 8 S.W.G. G.I. wire should be used for earthing. Separate earthing should be done for distribution box. 7/10 SWG G.I. wire should be used for tower earthing, and for S/s. gantries 3mm thick, 50 mm x 50 mm M.S. plate is used. G.I. pipe of 25 mm thick, 1910 mm long is used for H.T. line, and 20 mm thick, 1720 mm long for L.T. lines.

The purpose of coal and salt is to keep wet the soil permanently. The salt percolates and coal absorbs water keeping the soil wet. Care should always be taken by watering the earth pits in summer so that the pit soil will be wet. Coal is made of carbon which is good conductor minimizing the earth resistant. For sub-station earthing the provisions in I.S.I. 3043 (1966) Section 1,2 & 3 should be utilized.

Joints: - Rivets are used for joining the earth system, nut bolts or welding also used depending on the temperature rise of the system.
The joint to earth conductor in switchgear unit or cable sheaths required to be separated frequently, hence nut bolts are used at joint. In case of steel system they should inconsistently be by welding. Only the places where earth testing is carried, should be nut bolted.
All joints should be properly painted. Channel, supporting control boards and panels are used as earth electrodes (This is possible only when they are connected to earth system at both ends.)



EARTH TESTER & EARTH RESISTANCE.

Use of Earth Tester - Earth tester is used for measurement of Earth resistance. If earth resistance is more, proper treatments to be given.

Working of Earth Tester :- There is hand operated D.C.generator. While feeding current to spike. D.C.current is converted into A.C. current by the converter and A.C.current received from spike is again converted in D.C. current by the help of rectifier, while going to generator.

A.C. current is fed to the spike driven in earth because there should not be electrolytic effect.







Measurement of Earth Resistance (Three point method):-


















In this method earth tester terminals C1 & P1 are shorted to each other and connected to the earth electrode (pipe) under test. Terminals P2 & C2 are connected to the two separate spikes driven in earth. These two spikes are kept in same line at the distance of 25 meters and 50 meters due to which there will not be mutual interference in the field of individual spikes. If we rotate generator handle with specific speed we get directly earth resistance on scale.

Note :- Spike length in the earth should not be more than 1/20th distance between two spikes.

Four Point Method :- In this method 4 spikes are driven in earth in same line at the equal distance. Outer two spikes are connected to C1 & C2 terminals of earth tester. Similarly inner two spikes are connected to P1 & P2 terminals. Now if we rotate generator handle with specific speed, we get earth resistance value of that place.
In this method error due to polarisation effect is eliminated and earth tester can be operated directly on A.C.

Earth Resistance :- (A) -Earth resistance is depended on following factors.
1) Type of earth soil.
2) Temperature of earth.
3) Humidity in earth.
4) Minerals in earth.
5) Length of electrode in the earth.
6) Electrode shape and size.
7) Distance between two electrodes.
8) Number of electrodes.


(B) Maximum earth resistance allowed is as below :-
Major power station 0.5 .
Major Sub-stations 1.0 
Minor Sub-station 2 
Neutral Bushing. 2
Service connection 4 
L.T.Lightening Arrestor 4  L.T.Pole 5
H.T.Pole 10 
Tower 20-30 

If earth resistance is more than above values, following Treatments can be made for minimizing resistance.
1) Oxidation on joints should be removed and joints be tightened.
2) Sufficient water should be poured in earth electrode.
3) Earth Electrode of bigger size as far as possible be used.
4) Electrodes should be connected in parallel.
5) Earth pit of more depth & width- breadth be made.

RAID CONCEPT IN IBM SERVERS



The important general RAID Concept is physical and logical Arrays and Drives: Before, going into RAID Concepts we should be clear with the fundamental structure of RAID. The fundamental structure of RAID is like an array. An array is nothing but a collection of drives in some definite pattern. The drives are connected in the form of array and the data is split between them to determine the RAID level. The particular definition which are in use is Physical Drives: The Physical Drives are the physical, hard disks that are in the form of the array, Physical Arrays:
The Physical Arrays are physical drives which are connected together to form a physical array. Logical Arrays: The Logical arrays are formed by combining one or more physical arrays. Logical Drives: Logical Drives are formed by connecting one or more logical drivers and are formed from one logical array. The confusing thing is that the terms above, used are similar enough, and are more lightly used. The most RAID consist of one physical array which inturn is made up of one logical array. RAID controllers are like a rope which is needed to hang it comes to defining arrays. Another important RAID Concept is Mirroring: Mirroring is a procedure in which data in the system is written simultaneously to two or more hard disks. Thus it is also known as the mirror concept. The principle of mirroring is to obtain 100% data redundancy, which provides full protection against the failure of either of the disks containing the duplicated data.
The other RAID Concept is Duplexing: Duplexing is an update version of mirroring which is based on the same principle as that mirroring technique. Like in mirroring, all data is duplicated onto two distinct physical hard drives. Duplexing is much more advanced then mirroring in terms of availability because it can provide the data protection against drive failure that mirroring does, but it can also protects against the failure of either of the controllers. The interesting RAID Concept is Striping: Striping is obtained at the byte level, as well as in block level. The Byte-level striping breaks the file into byte-sized pieces. After Byte level striping, the first byte of the file is sent to the first drive, then the second to the second drive, and so on. Block-level striping means that each file is broken into different blocks of a certain size and those are distributed to the various drives.
The last and important RAID Concept is Parity: The parity is used for the system memory error detection. The parity used in RAID is very similar in concept to parity RAM. The principle of parity is simple: take N pieces of data, and compute an extra piece of data. After that take N+1 pieces of data and store it in N+1 drives. If you have lost any one of the data, you can recreate it from the N remain, regardless of which piece is lost. Parity protection is generally used with striping in order to get high performance results across the drives in the array.
The parity information can be stored on a separate, or mixed with the data of drives. The RAID affects important reliability factors such as, For example, a commonly-heard phrase is that RAID improves hard disk reliability, but that is not an true. The truth depends to on how you define reliability and what do you mean reliability of the individual drives, or the whole system.







The major RAID Concepts are Physical and Logical Arrays and Drives, Mirroring, Duplexing, Striping and Parity. First, we look at physical and logical arrays and drives: The structure of RAID is like an array. As we know, an array is a collection of drives that is configured in a particular way. The number of drives and the data is split between them to determine the RAID level, the capacity of the array, performance and data protection characteristics helps in deciding what types of arrays needed to be set up, and how to configure them. Second, we look at Mirroring:
The advantage of mirroring is to provide redundancy of data and also quick recovery from a disk failure. All the data which is on the second drive, is ready to be use if the first one fails. The disadvantage of RAID 1 is expense. Results are as not as good as other RAID levels. Third, we look at the Duplexing: Duplexing yields superior results then mirroring because of availability, it provides the protection against drive failure that mirroring does. It is expensive more than mirroring. Fourth, we look at striping: Striping is done at byte level. Byte level striping means file is divided into "byte-sized pieces".
The first byte is sent to the first drive, then the second byte is send to the second drive, and so on. Byte level striping is done at 512 bytes. Block level striping means that the file is split into blocks of a certain size and is distributed to the various drives. The size of the blocks is called the stripe size. Finally, parity: The term parity is used in connection of system memory error detection. The parity which is used in RAID is nearly similar to parity RAM.
The parity is simple: take N pieces of data, and from them, calculate the extra amount of data. Take the N+1 amount of data and store it in N+1 drives. If you lose any one of the N+1 pieces of data regardless of which piece is lost. Parity protection is used with striping, and the N pieces of data are of the blocks distributed across the drives in the array.
The major RAID Issues are RAID Performance Issue & RAID Reliability Issue. The RAID Performance Issue: RAID was developed for protection of data in order to find the fault tolerance. The performance could be increases RAID is parallelism. The ability to access multiple disks and allows for data to be written to or read from a RAID array faster than a single drive. RAID Reliability Issue: The RAID affects important reliability factors such as, For example, a commonly-heard phrase is that RAID improves hard disk reliability, but that is not an true.
The truth depends to on how you define reliability and what do you mean reliability of the individual drives, or the whole system are about the data, or the hardware itself. The performance could be improved through the use of RAID for businesses where the protection of critical data is important factor.












RAID Concept






RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is an array of multiple independent hard disk drives that provide high performance and fault tolerance. The RAID subsystem controller implements several levels of the Berkeley RAID technology. An appropriate RAID level is selected when the volume sets are defined or created. This decision is based on disk capacity, data availability (fault tolerance or redundancy), and disk performance. The following is the RAID level, which support in the RAID subsystem.

The RAID subsystem controller makes the RAID implementation and the disks’ physical configuration transparent to the host operating system. This means that the host operating system drivers and software utilities are not affected, regardless of the RAID level selected. Correct installation of the disk array and the controller requires a proper understanding of RAID technology and the concepts.

Raid 0
RAID 0, also referred to as striping, writes stripping of data across multiple disk drives instead of just one disk drive. RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy, but does offer the best high-speed data throughput. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller blocks and then writes a block to each drive in the array. Disk striping enhances performance because multiple drives are accessed simultaneously; but the reliability of RAID Level 0 is less than any of its member disk drives due to its lack of redundancy.



Raid 1
RAID 1 also known as “disk mirroring”, data written to one disk drive is simultaneously written to another disk drive. Read performance may be enhanced if the array controller can parallel accesses both members of a mirrored pair. During writes, there will be a minor performance penalty when compared to writing to a single disk. If one drive fails, all data (and software applications) are preserved on the other drive. RAID 1 offers extremely high data reliability, but at the cost of doubling the required data storage capacity.



Raid 0+1
RAID 0+1 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1, combing stripping with disk mirroring. RAID Level 0+1 combines the fast performance of Level 0 with the data redundancy of Leve1 1. In this configuration, data is distributed across several disk drives, similar to Level 0, which are then duplicated to another set of drive for data protection. RAID 0+1 provides the highest read/write performance of any of the Hybrid RAID levels, but at the cost of doubling the required data storage capacity.



Raid 3
RAID 3 provides disk striping and complete data redundancy through a dedicated parity drive. RAID 3 breaks up data into smaller blocks, calculates parity by performing an exclusive-or on the blocks, and then writes the blocks to all but one drive in the array. The parity data created during the exclusive-or is then written to the last drive in the array. If a single drive fails, data is still available by computing the exclusive-or of the contents corresponding strips of the surviving member disk. RAID-3 is best for applications that require very fast data- transfer rates or long data blocks.



Raid 5
RAID 5 is sometimes called striping with parity at block level. In RAID 5, the parity information is written to all of the drives in the subsystems rather than concentrated on a dedicated parity disk. If one drive in the system fails, the parity information can be used to reconstruct the data from that drive. All drives in the array system can be used to seek operation at the same time, greatly increasing the performance of the RAID system.



Raid 6
A RAID 6 array is essentially an extension of a RAID 5 array with a second independent distributed parity scheme. Data and parity are striped on a block level across multiple array members, just like in RAID 5, and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives. As larger disk arrays are considered, it is desirable to use stronger codes that can tolerate multiple disk failure. When a disk fails in a parity protected disk array, recovering the contents of the failed disk requires successfully reading the contents of all no-failed disks. RAID 6 provides an extremely high fault tolerance, and can sustain two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss.



Summary of RAID Levels
RAID subsystem supports RAID Levels 0, 1(0+1), 3, 5 and 6. The following table provides a summary of RAID levels.
