Description

We're running into load issues with our s390x test runs and are falling back on our product delivery.

e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/12027610 blocks BCI container releases and is in the scheduling queue for 18 hours. However those updates are expected to leave QA within hours.

We kindly ask for a solution for this problem in a timely matter. We are obliged to deliver certain container updates within 24h and not fulfilling this requirement can have severe impact on the some of our BCI contracts.

This is urgent.

I will decrease the priority for the test runs in question as a quickfix, but I think we really need more workers in the long run.

If you can help us to raise the concern with SUSE-IT Eng-Infra and assign more CPU+RAM to the OSD VM we can increase the amount of workers

Felix filed https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-131786 for it. I shared with "OSD Admins". All others should just track this ticket #135329

Most urgency is resolved for us now. Thanks for looking into this!

From my POV this ticket can be closed, unless you peeps need to have it open for further work.

Thanks for your explicit response. As long as the SD ticket is open at least I would like to keep the ticket open. But, is the original issue regarding s390x jobs then really resolved? If yes, what would you say was the impact of you manually tweaking the jobs scheduling priorities?

I'm not observing s390x blocking any ongoing issues at the moment, however we only notice this when things are already on fire.

So, the urgency of the task is gone, but I could not say with confidence that the load issue with s390x is resolved. I do see however ppc64le taking longer than other architectures.

Ok, thx. https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-131786 was resolved, the OSD VM has more CPU and more RAM. In a related ticket I commented that we removed the job limit again for now so we can follow up there and resolve here
