548231 - Recycle 20 talos-rev2 machines for staging

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

As we bring the rev3 machines online, we can phase out the rev2 machines. The first batch of 80 rev2 minis are being recycled as follows:

20 added to osx10.5 production build/unittest pool
40 added to osx10.6 production build/unittest pool
...which leaves 
20 for staging. 

I'd originally thought of setting these up for talos for osx10.5, osx10.6, xp, win7, linux32, but curious if people have other suggestions. For example, instead of all 20 being staging talos, should some of these become staging builders?

Break down into:

talos-rev2-snow-001/002/003
talos-rev2-fed-001/002/003
talos-rev2-fed64-001/002/003
talos-rev2-xp-001/002/003
talos-rev2-w7-001/002/003
talos-rev2-leopard-001/002/003
talos-rev2-w764-001/002

Since we don't have an actual talos w7 x64 image yet we can just leave them idle and waiting.

now ok to push over to IT and start imaging.

Comment 3

Upon reflection, for consistency we should call them 'r2' instead of 'rev2' - so that they match naming in production.

We only rev2 (r2) ref images for leopard and xp.  Since we already have these up and working, are there any advantages to re-imaging these?

There are no snow leopard, fed, fe64, win7, or win764 ref images or even ref machines for them at the moment.

Raising to critical, because its blocking a q1 goal, as discussed with Phong, mrz yesterday morning.

If its easier to just do the renaming/dns work without imaging then that is fine.

We have ref images for these OS for rev1 and rev3 machines. Can we try them on these ref2 machines ?

Need to be freshly imaged.

Comment 7

[alice nodelman [:alice] [:anode]]

Please wipe and re-image, I'd prefer to work from a fresh image.

Need ref images for following:

Current status:

Done:

talos-rev2-snow-001/002/003 
talos-rev2-xp-001/002/003
talos-rev2-leopard-001/002/003


Ref Image needed:

talos-rev2-fed-001/002/003
talos-rev2-fed64-001/002/003
talos-rev2-w7-001/002/003
talos-rev2-w764-001/002

I have all the minis at my desk if a machine is needed to create the reference images.

Have we attempted applying the rev3 images on rev2 machines?

Also - are the imaged machines up and ready for me to access?

Yes, and the rev3 images for linux and windows don't work on them. The leopard and snow images took fine though, which is why those are finished.

Not yet. They are sitting at my desk, but I can bring most of them by, as those lived in the office before. The ones that still need to be imaged will live at MPT.

urgh. Instead of dealing with new ref images, we're changing plans.

1) We'll pull some existing rev3 minis from production talos, to use in staging talos for now.
2) 10 of these rev2 minis will be added to the 10.5 build pool in bug#548106
3) 10 of these rev2 minis will be added to the 10.6 build pool in bug#548109

We'll close this bug as WONTFIX, with apologies for time already spent here.
