725534 - Need a stock linux server to use as a prototype foopy

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Mike Taylor [:bear]]

With panda's on the horizon and the real need to *not* continue down the foopy-as-mac-mini path, I would like to request a single linux server to use as a prototype/dev area for getting the current foopy code running on linux instead of OS X

This could start as a VM, but the final version would need to be a "real" server because of Talos requirements

Can we please be sure to build them up with Puppet this time?

Also, can you give me some more detail on why these will need to be hardware?  Space for hardware is limited in mtv1.  40 linux foopies (20 tegra + 20 panda) would be a full rack!

If it's releng puppet, then that means CentOS 5.5.  I assume specs on this are vague to start with, so I'll take a stab:

20GB disk
1 CPU
1GB RAM
Build network IP
In mtv1
hostname linux-foopy-test.build.mtv1.mozilla.com

Matt (ask for bugs and ye shall receive), can you spin that up for Bear?

To be honest we don't know if it has to be hardware, I'm willing to take a stab at testing on a VM first to find that out.

your specs above all seem sane.

Comment 5

[Matthew Larrain[:MaRu]]

Yeah I'll get this spun up

I've set the root pw on the vm to the releng root pw.  It's ready for you guys to puppetize.
