Details

There is an EFI Upgrade for r4 Minis available. This adds Internet Recovery, but perhaps more interesting to us, fixes an issue with the "Restart after power failure" bit not being retained. The cmdline incantation to run this update is: softwareupdate -i MacMiniEFIUpdate1.5-1.5
Ben recommends doing this on the staging systems first, just to see how it goes. Which systems should I use?
10:34 < bhearsum|buildduty> talos-r4-{lion,snow}-0{01,02,03,10}
This update only exists for lion. On snow: MacMiniEFIUpdate1.5-1.5: No such update and indeed I don't see any EFI updates in the -l output. talos-r4-lion-0{01,02,03,10} have been upgraded and rebooted. I'll check in tomorrow to see if these are still running, and if so, figure out a way to do this globally.
Ben, have you seen any problems? Reassign to me with the answer. Incidentally, Jake has a pretty sweet idea to install this update on snow-leopard systems, which is to boot the mini into a Netboot lion image, run this installer, then reboot it normally. I'll get the lions taken care of, then reassign to him when I'm done.

Will http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1479/en_US/MacminiEFIUpdate1.5.dmg run on Snow Leopard? Otherwise we might be able to bake it into a DS runtime?
I didn't see any issues on these last week.

updated talos-r4-lion-069 after a reimage. Verification of the ROM upgrade can be done by running: system_profiler |grep "Boot ROM" It should say the following for the r4 minis based on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237: Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03
Priority: -- → P1

I setup a workflow to install this from DS and I have successfully tested on lion. It will still need to be tested on snow leopard.

The following hosts were out for service and will need to be done at a later date: talos-r4-snow-015 talos-r4-lion-082 talos-r4-snow-082 talos-r4-lion-031 r4-mini-06144 And the following hosts are not in scl1 but should also receive the update: foopy12 foopy13 foopy14 foopy15 foopy16 foopy17 foopy18 foopy19 foopy20 foopy21 foopy22 foopy23 foopy24
talos-r4-lion-082 is back from service and has been updated
These are all r5 minis so shouldn't need the update: foopy18 foopy19 foopy20 foopy21 foopy22 foopy23 foopy24 Which just leaves: talos-r4-snow-015 talos-r4-lion-082 talos-r4-lion-031 r4-mini-06144 foopy12 foopy13 foopy14 foopy15 foopy16 foopy17
jake to coordinate with bhearsum, coop, and bear to upgrade the foopies next week.
work being coordinated in etherpad: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/xjEyWha1Ri
We were unable to upgrade foopy12 thru foopy17 since they are running OSX 10.6.8 and the installer requires 10.7.2. In order to deploy it from Deploy Studio, we would need a working netboot server on the mtv build vlan with the current stable Deploy Studio suite in order to copy over the 10.7.2 netboot set from scl1. We will hold off on updating the EFI on them for now.
talos-r4-lion-082 and talos-r4-lion-031 have come back from repair and can be upgraded
talos-r4-lion-082 and talos-r4-lion-031 have been upgraded. This leaves: talos-r4-snow-015 r4-mini-06144 foopy12 foopy13 foopy14 foopy15 foopy16 foopy17
talos-r4-snow-015 has been upgrade. This leaves: r4-mini-06144 foopy12 foopy13 foopy14 foopy15 foopy16 foopy17
r4-mini-06144 has been upgrade. This leaves: foopy12 foopy13 foopy14 foopy15 foopy16 foopy17
Amy given our goal of moving off of mac foopies, and that this has been here (open) for so long, do we really need/want to do these last r4's, or shall we consider this bug reso/fixed and the remaining (c#22) wontfix?

Nope. We have this open on purpose. When we move off mac foopies, they will get upgraded and repurposed. This is here and open to remind me of it.
Anyone know what happened to talos-r4-lion-083? I can't find the reason why it is not in our configs. Thanks!
Pretty sure it got turned into one of the signing machines.
These last minis are slated to move to scl1 and be reimaged as 10.7 test machines. dividehex, please make sure these get the upgrade before going into production.
Blocks: 848992
These machines are now up in scl1 and can be upgraded when time permits (coordinating with releng).

just for reference, these have been converted to: foopy12 -> talos-r4-lion-085 foopy13 -> talos-r4-lion-086 foopy14 -> talos-r4-lion-087 foopy15 -> talos-r4-lion-088 foopy16 -> talos-r4-lion-089 foopy17 -> talos-r4-lion-090
I'm happy to help coordinate if you can fill me in with what needs coordination. The machines from comment 29?
Yep, we need to take them down for a short time to upgrade the efi. I suspect that each machine would take less than 30m and they could be done in parallel (or whenever they finished up running jobs).

I can do this in advance.
We can do these remotely, so do you want to schedule for, say noon (eastern) next monday?
Noon EST WFM. I will add a note for Monday to disable them an hour or so in advance. Thanks arr!

The task sequence in DS didn't work for this (it put the one host I tried into an infinite netboop/run loop that didn't actually install the upgrade), but I was able to just use the DMG on them directly since they're all lion machines. talos-r4-lion-085 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03 talos-r4-lion-086 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03 talos-r4-lion-087 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03 talos-r4-lion-088 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03 talos-r4-lion-089 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03 talos-r4-lion-090 Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B03
