714837 - Needs for an OS X box for testing pulse triggered daily Mozmill test-runs

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Infrastructure, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

To be able to fully test the Pulse triggered daily Mozmill test-runs, I need a machine with OS X as host. It must be capable of handling about 3 running VMs.

Requirements:
* Enough RAM for 3 concurrently running VMs
* All available VMs from QA being available on the machine

Thanks

You can use 'release8-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com' for this.

It does not have VMware installed currently. I will install it and update the bug when I do so and the VMs are copied over.

Details sent to Henrik. All VMs are available and VMware is set up. I've updated the VMs to be current and taken snapshots on them.

Thanks Al, it works perfect. Just for reference it is release1-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com now.

This should be release8. release1 is a different mac mini.

Al, this box is behaving badly in the last couple of days. Right now I even cant login anymore with screen because I only get a black screen. 

Also after not using the box for a while (>15min), I cannot access the Jenkins web ui anymore. Once I login again, it's available immediately.

Can you please have a look at the box? It seems to be have started between Jan 5th and 6th.

The problem here were the energy settings which let the box fall into sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. This shouldn't really be set by default. I have removed that restriction now and it seems to work.
