About the point below, it is not clear what are "all station systems".

| connections from the newly allocated Manager's IP address. Specifically, the | ||
| ``TotalPower`` backend and the ``CalMux`` machines have to be tweaked in | ||

This procedure involves logging in the said machines as root, if it has to be documented, this is not the place to do it. A suggestion about this is we perform this step in advance by allowing a range of addresses to control the said machines, so, in case of failure, this step can be skipped.

No clear to me how it is possible to replicate the manager without any information about this point. I think the procedure should be documented somewhere, and in case this is not the place, here we have to put a reference link to it.

This is not a procedure that a generic observer can do. Performing the ssh key exchange requires knowing the password of both the discos and the root users.

I was joking, the point is that we have to write the documentation thinking that the reader is not one of the discos team...
