install_server module update (mac address and partitioning info,) Please provide partition schema

Please create a RAID10 with the following options (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Raid_and_MegaCli):

RAID setups for database:

raid-10
256k stripe
writeback cache
no read ahead

For the partitioning info, this is an example of what needs to be used: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/344337/
operations/puppet / modules/install_server/files/autoinstall/netboot.cfg

So we'd need to add something like:

db2071) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2072) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2073) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2074) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2075) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2076) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2077) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2078) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2079) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \
db2080) echo partman/db.cfg ;; \

We have to use db.cfg for the installation to format the partitions correctly and after that I will take care of reverting the change and leaving the "safe" option which fails on accidental restarts-reimages.

Change 346580 had a related patch set uploaded (by Jcrespo):
[operations/puppet@production] Indicate install recipes for newest db1* and db2* DB servers

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/346580

^the above should be enough for the recipe. In addition to what Manuel stated, given problems we had in the past, we need to check:

• IPMI calls work as intended
• default boot is setup to disk (the installer should take care of that, but we should check)

@Marostegui we can not do a7 and b7 because we have 10G switch in a7 and b7 or the serves have only 1GB NIC's. Please relocate db2091 and db2092. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up, edited the task with the new locations. Let us know if you see any other problem! Thanks!

@Marostegui db2085 needs to move as well.

Thanks for the list, that makes it a lot more clear :)

@Papaul the following servers were ready to get puppet enabled and all that, so I did so, and rebooted them

db2071
db2072
db2073
db2075
db2076
db2079

db2071 is going to be used in production: : T163413 so if you'd need to do something to it, please ping @jcrespo or myself first.
The other ones are not yet used (or going to be used, we will update this task to let you know if we change our mind with any of them)

@Marostegui Thanks for for update.

@Papaul note that db2074, db2077, db2078 and db2080 were not ready when I checked in the morning. So don't know if they got their OS installed or not (didn't check again)

@Marostegui none of the systems were ready. when the systems are ready i hang the task to the person responsible of the implementation.

Os installation, puppet/salt complete on

• db2071
• db2072
• db2073
• db2074
• db2075
• db2076
• db2077
• db2078
• db2079
• db2080
• db2081
• db2082
• db2083
• db2084
• db2085
• db2086
• db2087
• db2088
• db2089
• db2090
• db2091
• db2092

I confirm the following servers look good: db2081, db2085, db2086, db2089, db2091, db2092 (the previous ones were confirmed here: T162159#3196923)

db2084 can not boot to PXE. I am troubleshooting it.

I talked to @ayounsi, db2084 was in the Wrong VLAN so the installation is complete now running puppet and salt on the server
