722522 - please set up hardware for medium scale test of 10.7 build image

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 719622

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: General, task)

Description

[John Ford [:jhford] CET/CEST Berlin Time]

I have almost completed the image work for the new 10.7 build machines.  I would like to start verifying that these machines are in proper working order as well as letting developers see the results of these builds.

It's time to run a medium scale test of this image, much like we did with the rev4 test machines.  I'd like to keep this as close as possible to what we'll end up deploying in the real world.  Please use only Quad Core i7 Macmini5,3 based machines.  It is not important for the machine to have the exact storage configuration that we are going with.

I am not sure which hardware I can use, but there are 10 extras being ordered in bug 720788.  If we can set up a couple of the eval macmini5,3 machines before those 10 arrive, that'd be helpful.

Please follow the steps detailed at https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReferencePlatforms/Test/Lion#Initial_Machine_Setup to set up the base image.  One of these machines will likely become the reference image.  I can provide the xcode dmg if needed.
