Description
Motivation¶
Vit Pelcak informed me that he is invited "to discuss requirements for server room for the new Prague office." We will support the planning process.
Vit wrote:
So far I got these requirements:
Move all the machines
Working PXE, IPMI...Move in time not colliding with the product testing/release (@Jan Stehlík suggested Feb/Mar)
Move in phases so that we don't have all the machines offline at the same time
My addition: Do we actually need machines in a new office server room or just move them to PRG2e? Nobody from the QE tools team commonly visits the server rooms in neither PRG1 nor PRG2 so it wouldn't make a difference. There should be IPv6
Note: void.qam.suse.cz (aka openqa.qam.suse.cz) with its workers is currently in PRG1.
Acceptance Criteria¶
- AC1: Assets of QE Tools inside PRG1 are known
- AC2: Racktable entries for the identified assets are up-to-date
- AC3: We know if we want/need machines in the new PRG site "PRG3"
- AC4: For every identified asset, the future of the asset is decided (i.e. to be discarded, moved, replaced with new one)
Suggestions¶
- Be aware about #170458
- Review current state in racktables and update where there is already obvious outdated information or incomplete information, e.g. contact persons that have left the company or missing MAC addresses for machines
- For unclear racktables entries talk to contact persons / machine owners / loaners
- Identify groups of machines and for every identified asset decide about the future of the asset, i.e. to be discarded, moved, replaced with new one
- Look at https://confluence.suse.com/display/~ewalker/Prague+%28in+office%29+Server+Room+requirements+for+Prague+teams

Actually this shouldn't wait for #154042 which would be about a DHCP VM with unclear ownership. But this ticket here should focus on the physical machines within PRG1. With an evacuation of PRG1 possible even qanet.qa.suse.cz would be obsolete. Instead I added a relation to the sibling task #170458. @jbaier_cz the situation is unchanged, wait for the blocker you mentioned.

Regarding AC3, since all the machines are in use they shouldn't be discarded, but rather moved or replaced.
I guess that might depend on the destination; for some of them it might be cheaper to just buy a new hardware on the new place if those hosts are just normal workers without any special features.

what's with all the other machines in the domain .qa.suse.cz or qam.suse.cz e.g. on https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=2552 ? Please crosscheck against the list https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=depot&tab=default&andor=and&cfe=%7B%24typeid_4%7D&cft[]=449 which lists all machines with tag "QE LSG" for all locations.

This reminds me, there is also https://confluence.suse.com/display/~ewalker/Prague+%28in+office%29+Server+Room+requirements+for+Prague+teams which includes some of the servers from the qa/qam domain.

Working on adding tags in racktables in order to create a query listing all machines in question. (WIP)
Updated by okurz about 1 month ago
In doubt ask the contact persons listed in racktables
Updated by okurz about 1 month ago · Edited
As discussed next steps:
- Report extra ticket about all machines having non-employee contact person lee.martin. One example machine https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=edit&object_id=19416 -> goal updated contact person and updated state of machine. All machines are in https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=2560 . If nobody else wants to use the hardware then we are happy to adopt them :)
- Report extra ticket about all machines having non-QE employee Paul Gonin without QE LSG tag. One example machine https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=edit&object_id=2988
- Update status about machine assigned to former QE employee thehehjik https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&object_id=10236
- Update status about machine assigned to non-QE employee zkubala https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&object_id=1210 . Machine shouldn't list QE LSG if machine is not assigned to QE LSG
- Add row to https://confluence.suse.com/display/~ewalker/Prague+%28in+office%29+Server+Room+requirements+for+Prague+teams listing "QE Tools" and query pointing to "QE LSG"+"PRG1"+"openQA" tags

You mean the Ticket should be about QE LSG tag removal here ? Because all machines with paul.gonin as contact already have both the
QAMandQE LSGtag.The example you provided does not list
thehehjikas contact, and i also cant find any machine(s) whith that contact using the search function.. Am i missing something here, did you maybe already address this and the previous point ?Removed
QE LSG, what about theQAtag ?Done, although i ended up not using the query after all, as that included machines managed (and already mentioned in the thread) by vpelcak.

Yes, QE LSG should be removed as pgonin and his team are not in QE LSG

thehehjikas contact, and i also cant find any machine(s) whith that contact using the search function.. Am i missing something here, did you maybe already address this and the previous point ?Removed
QE LSG, what about theQAtag ?
Who is the owner then?

Ok, i've simply removed those "QE LSG" tags as they where wrongly added by me yesterday going off of the FQDN and QAM tag.

For me it shows Jan Kohoutek

I've added the qa tools section to the according planing page, which anyone may extend / edit in case i missed any special requirements.
Resolving the ticket as discussed on slack.
