Helm charts

This page summarises the Helm chart parameters that can be used to customise the PST.LMC Release and Development deployments.

Release chart

The ska-pst-lmc chart deploys the latest release of PST.LMC from the artefact.skao.int registry. By default, PST.LMC is deployed in simulation mode. The current default Helm chart parameters can be viewed in the ska-pst-lmc values file.

Parameter

Description

Default

global.ports

Port configuration for component devices

smrb, recv, dsp, and stat

global.ports.smrb

Port configuration for SMRB component device

smrb-mgmt

global.ports.smrb.smrb-mgmt

Port configuration for SMRB component manager

port, protocol

global.ports.smrb.smrb-mgmt.port

Port used by SMRB component manager

8080

global.ports.recv.recv-mgmt.port

Port used by RECV component manager

8080

global.ports.dsp.dsp-mgmt.port

Port used by DSP component manager

8080

global.ports.stat.stat-mgmt.port

Port used by STAT component manager

8080

subsystem_id

The subsystem used in output path of files written by DSP and STAT. This should be pst-low or pst-mid.

pst-low

beam.simulationMode

Run Beam logical device in simulation mode

1

beam.scanOutputDirPattern

The pattern where to write the output scan configuration needed to send to SDP when scan completes

/mnt/lsf/product/<eb_id>/<subsystem_id>/<scan_id>

smrb.simulationMode

Run SMRB component device in simulation mode

1

recv.simulationMode

Run RECV component device in simulation mode

1

dsp.simulationMode

Run DSP component device in simulation mode

1

stat.simulationMode

Run STAT component device in simulation mode

1

Example of changing the ports used for communication between the PST Beam logical device and component device managers.

global:
    ports:
        recv:
            recv-mgmt:
                port:       28080
        smrb:
            smrb-mgmt:
                port:       28081
        dsp:
            dsp-mgmt:
                port:       28082
        stat:
            stat-mgmt:
                port:       28082

Example of running in normal mode (not simulation mode).

beam:
  simulationMode: 1

smrb:
  simulationMode: 1

recv:
  simulationMode: 1

dsp:
  simulationMode: 1

stat:
  simulationMode: 1

Development chart

The test-parent chart deploys the latest build of PST.LMC from registry.gitlab.com/ska-telescope/pst/ska-pst-lmc. The current default Helm chart parameters can be viewed in the values.yaml file for test_parent.
