This is a tracking task for the setup and deployment of systems WMF741[56]. These won't be installed or pushed into service until after they have hostnames.

dns4001/wmf7215:

• - mgmt dns entries added for asset tag
• - bios/drac/serial setup/testing
• - network port setup (description set, but disabled for now)
• - determine system role and hostname
• - review and re-enable cpu virtualization options if needed (see instructions below)
• - mgmt dns entry for hostname & production dns entries
• - operations/puppet updates for installation
• - OS install
• - puppet accept/initial run
• - handoff for service implementation

dns4002/wmf7216:

virtualization note

Some of these systems will potentially be running ganeti. However, due to not knowing which will and will not, virtualization has been disabled on the CPU for ALL of the new ulsfo misc hosts orders on T160936. This can easily be changed back to enabled via the following instructions:

• system will need to reboot, please ensure that this won't interrupt any vital services
• ssh root@bast4002.mgmt.ulsfo.wmnet
• run the following on the mgmt console:

racadm set iDRAC.ServerBoot.FirstBootDevice BIOS
console com2

• in another ssh session, login to bast4002.wikimedia.org and reboot it. The racadm command set it to go into bios the next boot.
• swap back to your mgmt console session and watch it launch system bios.
• in bios, go to System Bios > Processor Settings > Virtualization Technology & Enable it. Then hit ESC and back out, confirming Yes when it asks to save and exit.
• boot system back up and it will have the virtualization enabled on the processors.
