865215 - create releng-puppet2.srv.releng.scl3.mozilla.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

With settings identical to releng-puppet1, *except*, if possible please provision two drives (just to make it easier to expand the secondary later):
 20G primary
 300G secondary

No need to install an OS - I'll take care of that.  It will be CentOS 6.2.

We're replacing releng-puppet1 with this server but the transition will take a while since it also involves a major puppet upgrade.

We'll get this going.

:dustin, when you install the OS, please follow the directions in the below mana page to make sure you don't produce a misaligned virtual disk:

:fox2mike or whoever deploys this, please put in the key repeat fix before passing the VM to dustin:

If you need this before May 6th, feel free to un-assign the bug from me and see if anyone else is free on the SRE team to get to this before then. 

You're also welcome to try and get access to our vmware infra :)

I don't know all of the ins-and-outs of creating a VM - afaic proper procedure is to file a bug like this.  I created some instances on Ganeti, so I'm not in a huge hurry, but I'd like this this week if at all possible.
