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.

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• Review current state in racktables and update where there is already obvious outdated information or incomplete information, e.g. contact persons that have left the company or missing MAC addresses for machines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
