697457 - Update https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SYSADMIN/Mercurial to reflect scl1 hg mirrors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

The section of https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SYSADMIN/Mercurial that talks about removing and re-initializing /try does not account for the fact that try is being mirrored on multiple hg mirrors now.  Using the recommended state leaves the mirrors in an inconsistent state with the master.

Also, it should be documented that the script used to re-initialize try requires that ssh keys for dm-vcview04 must be present on the host from which the script is run (or the script needs to be fixed to use stored keys).

I've updated the page to note the dependency on a forwarded SSH agent, and isntructions for how to reset try on the build mirrors.  Unfortunately the scripts written were not that extensible, or else I'd merely alter the reset_try.sh script to reset the build mirrors for us, which I could visit at a later date.
