Physically move db1053 to a different rack
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hey Chris,

I would like to request a server move.
If possible I would like to move db1053, which is currently: https://racktables.wikimedia.org/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=1762

To be moved to: https://racktables.wikimedia.org/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=1948 (different rack and row).

I am unsure about what do you need from my side to move this server: I can stop MySQL and you can power it off before doing so?
Do we need to change something from network point of view?

I will reimage this server once it is moved.

@Marostegui I can move this server to A2. Give me the go ahead once you have powered off and it's safe to move.

Thanks Chris - I have been told I have to update DNS with the new IP, is that something you can give me beforehand or it will just dhcp it?

Also, given that tomorrow is a bank holiday here, I think we can rather wait till Thursday.

Thanks!

@Marostegui I will fix the dns for you once it's moved to row A.

@Cmjohnson Excellent! Thanks!. So let's wait till Thursday then
