Description

This is a hardware request to replace tin.eqiad.wmnet, the current deployment server.

The requirements are just to be at least as good as tin was, or better.

tin is https://racktables.wikimedia.org/index.php?page=object&object_id=1717

Asset tag: WMF4073
HW type: Dell PowerEdge R320

Procurement RT #: 3278 (https://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3278)

@RobH The original procurement ticket linked above says that tin was one of the 12 misc servers:

12

R310
Single CPU 6 Core
8GB RAM
dual 250 GB SATA
SATA controller onboard/no raid
no bezel
redundant power supplies
drac enterprise
sliding rails without cable mgmt
2 6' c13/c14 power cables

So we want the closest equivalent to that nowadays. Do you recommed a standard "misc" server configuration nowadays?

RobH added a subscriber: faidon.

So we would normally quote out a standard misc system, but we happen to have a couple of spare servers ready for allocation in eqiad already. As such, I'd recommend we use one of these older (but still in warranty) spares, since they are already paid for and ready for use.

wmf4750
Dual Intel Xeon E5-2640 v3 2.6GHz/8core per cpu
64GB RAM
sw raid
Dual 1TB SATA

Warranty/service contract through 2019-03-24

Escalating to @faidon for allocation approval. This will use one of the two remaining spare sysetms in eqiad. (Which seems ideal, as they are slowing aging out without being put to use.

RobH moved this task from Backlog to Pending Approval on the hardware-requests board.Feb 1 2018, 6:11 PM

I initially suggested tin might make use of SSD, being the deployment server, but in fact it seems that given how scap works nowadays the only iops-intensive activity on those servers is the l10n-update, which might even go away in the future, and it's still not hitting a bottleneck in terms of disk throughput AFAICS:

https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/file/server-board.json?refresh=1m&panelId=18&fullscreen&orgId=1&var-server=tin&var-network=eth0&from=now-30d&to=now

so it seems ok to me to use the aforementioned spare with SATA disks.

faidon reassigned this task from faidon to RobH.Feb 15 2018, 3:57 PM
faidon moved this task from Pending Approval to Allocation/Ordering/Implementation on the hardware-requests board.

Approved then.

RobH closed subtask T188337: setup/install deploy1001/wmf4750 as Invalid.Feb 26 2018, 11:16 PM

So it seems this was already requested on T174452, and setup is blocked for onsite work on T175288.

Closing as duplicate of T174452 and T175288
