Can you clone CentOS-5.0-ref-tools-vm to a new VM called 'production-master'. I'd like to get a 50GB drive in it in addition to the ref platform one.

is this part of the original 22 forecast machines?

(updating bug after offline discussion)

This new VM is to replace existing VMs.

Right now, we have one buildbot master per VM. Per branch. In staging and production. We plan to get all staging masters consolidated onto one staging VM, and all production masters consolidated onto one production VM. This VM request is the beginning of that project.

We will need a transition time (weeks) while we run the old and new in parallel, and we will then close down the various old VMs. And note, this is a net reduction in number of VMs.

In terms of shelf allocations, please put this new VM with any of production-1.8-master, production-1.9-master, moz2-master VMs.

Short on disk/cpu/memory capacity all around.  I have additional memory and CPU for vmware10 and additional memory for vmware11 which will be done Tuesday morning.

production-master / 10.2.71.90 

VM coming back up after vmware tools upgrade.

You have another 50GB disk attached but un-partitioned and unmounted - didn't know how you want it so I'll leave that to you.
