For now it'll be active/inactive. Current interaction with Statsd, Graphite and Kafka complicate a multi-dc active/active situation (or a situation where they automatically switchover if one fails). Although we are interested in exploring that in the future.

[operations/dns@master] introduce webperf1001

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/387215

suggesting we introduce webperf1001.eqiad.wmnet/webperf2001.codfw.wmnet for this rather than using the misc names. @akosiaris does that sounds ok (and the requirements to be fulfilled by ganeti VMs?)

@Dzahn Yes and yes, both sound fine.

@Krinkle Nicely written task! Thanks!

What's the status of this?

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-11-17T11:01:55Z] <akosiaris> create webperf1001, webperf2001 in ganeti T179036

Can we use stretch? I'll assume stretch unless there are reasons not to.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/392031

Still having issues with these, both 1001 and 2001. despite re-trying the install on 1001 and restarting/reboot/connecting to console many times. For some reason i don' t get to see console output even though the status is shown as "Up/Up". I can PXE boot them and see it getting an ACK and starting to serve the installer and then sending the initrd.tar.gz. But after that i don't see anything anymore. And whether i wait a long time or not, assuming i just don't see console output (because @akosiaris apparently could see the console just fine and how it was installing) i never get it to a state where it would respond to pings or where i can use "install-console" from puppetmaster to connect to it. It's just not reachable to me, also after setting boot_order to disk and waiting and restarting it etc. I also double confirmed the row is A and the IP is in that network and it's not a DHCP issue either. ..

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/392617

Fixed the console issue in above patch, reimaged the VMs and just run puppet for the first time. I am guessing this is successfully done, the only thing left is assigning the hosts the correct role (which is it btw?)

@akosiaris thank you! Wow so many others were in the wrong file as well. ..

re: role Krinkle pointed out that it's NOT yet the webperf role (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/392030/)

Yup, I fixed manually each and everyone of those already. Logged in SAL as well (no task though, doubt there's a need for one). It's also documented in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ganeti#Update_DHCP, not sure how we ended up with all these as a mistake.

Next step is to actually migrate the role, which will be done by Performance Team and tracked via parent task (T179036).

That's actually T158837.
