1226729 - Move some XP test machines to the Windows 7 pool

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

Looking at pending counts for test jobs the past few days (http://builddata.pub.build.mozilla.org/reports/pending/pending.html), I often see a Win7 backlog, but not a WinXP one, probably due the fact that we no longer run WinXP tests by default on try.

I've just enabled a swath of new tests on Windows 7 for e10s (bug 1221499), so that backlog will get worse.

We should consider moving some WinXP test machines to Win7; I'm not sure how many, perhaps we could do this in chunks of 10 and monitor the impact.

Not sure if 239 will be brought up eventually, if so you could add it and just disable it for now in slavealloc. We also need patches to add them to slavealloc, graph server etc.

239 will eventually be brought up, yeah, we just might need some manual intervention to turn off the onboard graphics.

Today I checked if the slaves took some jobs but they haven't. In order to take jobs I restart them

Can this bug be closed?  It looks like all the machines are in production.
