Download POS and set environment

mkdir TriDAS_lea
cd TriDAS_lea
scl enable devtoolset-8 bash
git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/cmspops/pos.git pixel
cd pixel
git checkout master     
cd ..
cp pixel/POSRelease/setenv.sh .

Download and compile FecSoftware

git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/cmspos/FecSoftware.git FecSoftwareV3_0
cd FecSoftwareV3_0
make -j 8
make install

Compile POS

cd $BUILD_HOME/pixel
make Set=pixel -j 8
make install
cd $BUILD_HOME/pixel/PixelRun
mkdir Logs Runs

Note: I encountered compilation errors and had to add the line:

#include <TSystem.h>

to these two header files:

TriDAS_lea/pixel/PixelUtilities/PixelRootUtilities/include/PixelHistoThreadFrame.h
TriDAS_lea/pixel/PixelUtilities/PixelRootUtilities/include/PixelHistoThreadFrameWithArgs.h

get name of new network card

bash
ifconfig -a

gives enp4s5 for this network card, yours could be different

create file

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp4s5 (choose the right name for your card)

with this content:

HWADDR=90:E2:BA:F7:6B:F7
TYPE=Ethernet
PROXY_METHOD=none
BROWSER_ONLY=no
BOOTPROTO=none
DEFROUTE=no
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
IPV6_DEFROUTE=no
IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no
IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy
NAME="enp4s5"
UUID=8c87de7c-ab31-3faa-8480-3c9571cad2af
ONBOOT=yes
AUTOCONNECT_PRIORITY=-999
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
PREFIX=23
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

(change the HWADDR, the NAME and the UUID to fit your network card)

restart the network service

sudo systemctl restart network.service

check the ip address change

ifconfig -a

the network card should now have the ip address 192.168.0.1 with the netmask 255.255.254.0

install the dhcp daemon and wireshark

sudo yum install dhcpd wireshark
