D.4 Installing and Configuring TS
Recording
Vaisala recommends using TS recording in two configurations. The simplest (but least
flexible) configuration is where RVP900 also serves as the archive host.
Create a separate partition should to prevent system crashes.
The ideal configuration is with a separate archive host with an increased amount of disk
space and peripherals (that is, tape drives). The two system configuration should be used in
a high bandwidth environment. If this is not possible, RVP900 can be equipped with a
separate disk for archive operations.
In two system
configurations, the tsimport and tsexport modules must be turned on at
boot time on both systems. The UDP ports for the sending and receiving system must also
be configured.
D.4.1
Required Software for TS Recording
The TS archive software is part of the Vaisala’s RDA release, which is installed by default on
all RVP900s and RCP8s, but it is not installed on IRIS systems.

D.4.2 Configuring UDP Ports for TS Recording
You can configure the UDP ports by editing the tsimport and tsexport scripts in /usr/
sigmet/config_template/rc.d/.
Copy the files to /etc/rc.d/init.d/.
If you plan to use tsarchive with a separate archive host, you must edit the tsimport
and tsexport
files. The export port on the sending system must match the import port on
the receiving system so that a connection can be made between the two ports.
