373848 - Decommission Axolotl

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task, P3)

Description

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Axolotl needs to go byebye.  It's old hardware that's long-since gone out of warranty and running RHEL 2.1 which we'd rather not support anymore.

Remaining services as of this writing:

tinderbox pageload server
build-graphs

We made a commitment in late fall to be rid of this machine by the end of 2007Q1.

Over to Aravind to get a full backup of this machine before it gets terminated.

Comment 2

[Aravind Gottipati [:aravind]]

Now have a full backup of the following directories (this backup will be held for a year).

/opt
/etc
/home
/usr/src
/usr/local
/var/named
/home/webtools/mozilla/webtools/graph

Build, want to make sure you all think the pageload server migration (bug 391056) is working this time. If numbers look good to you all, we would like to decommission this machine. Please reassign to server-ops once you all have decided on a verdict. :)

It's not so much our decision as it is making sure developers are happy with the page load numbers.

cc'ing dbaron and vlad, to start; note that these changes only affect Mac or machines that are in the colo doing pageload tests; it's not used by machines in the office.

If the current Tp numbers are from this pageload server, I think they look fine; however, what happens to build-graphs that's also hosted on axolotl?

build-graphs is hosted on dm-webtools01, not axolotl.

Comment 8

[Justin Fitzhugh]

Can we turn this machine off - i.e. have all tinderboxen been re-pointed?

Comment 9

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

httpd on axolotl has been turned off for a while, so if tinderboxen were still trying to use it, they would be consistently red.

Comment 10

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

Looks like this machine was turned off earlier today?

Comment 11

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

No.  The switch port was disconnected on Saturday.  If nobody complains in a week then the machine will be shut down.

Comment 12

[J. Paul Reed [:preed]]

I was asked to update this bug, so to reiterate my comment number 4, if developers are happy with it--and it seems from comment 6 that they are--then I'm happy with decommissioning axolotl.

I guess this translates to a build team signoff.
