1151801 - Deploy 1 VM (webqa-ci-staging1) for Web QA

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: Virtualization, task)

Description

[Dave Hunt [:davehunt] [he/him] ⌚BST]

Please deploy the following VM:

Hostname: webqa-ci-staging1
FQDN: webqa-ci-staging1.qa.scl3.mozilla.com
Specification: RHEL 6, 16GB RAM, 4 cores, 250G HDD

We'd like to have a staging instance of webqa-ci1 (bug 1110213) for us to test jobs and updates to plugins/Jenkins.

The following should have sudo access:
* Stephen Donner
* Bob Silverberg
* Dave Hunt

Unlike webqa-ci1 there is no intention of making this instance publicly accessible. Users will need to connect to the VPN to access it.

Alright, that VM is created, initial puppetization done, node definition added to misc.pp in r103174 to give Donner, Silverberg and Hunt access.

Do you want any nagios monitoring?  (being a staging box, I wasn't certain.)

Thanks Chris.

I wasn't sure either. It might be a good idea. Is there a cost to having monitoring?

[Chris Knowles [:cknowles]]

There is no cost, but since it pages people if there's a problem, there needs to be available documentation on what to do if it's down.  If there's nothing you need from the MOC on alerts, then there's really no use to having it alert.

Let's go ahead and set up basic nagios monitoring with alerts configured as they have been for webqa-ci1. Is there anything else you need from me Chris?

[Chris Knowles [:cknowles]]

monitoring added in r103294 - should take effect shortly.  And no, that answers everything outstanding from my end, thanks!  Let me know if there's other needs with this deployment.
