@Papaul from next week, please also upgrade firmware/BIOS of db2089 (only that one for now). I will put it back to production for now.

I have rebooted db2085 without debug option on kernel as part of (T216273) and I have taken the opportunity to upgrade its kernel too.

db1106 has been rebooted (and kernel was upgraded)

jcrespo changed the task status from Open to Stalled.Feb 19 2019, 5:47 PM
jcrespo triaged this task as Low priority.
jcrespo moved this task from In progress to Meta/Epic on the DBA board.

So I believe this is still an ongoing issue, but the remaining hosts may have a lower probability of failing (less than 1 out of 10), so I will stall this and do it only when other hw or sw maintenance is due.

@Papaul can we upgrade firmware and BIOS on db2080?, I was bitten by this today.

Thanks @Papaul I am rebooting the server a few times to confirm it is indeed solved!

db2072 got stuck on Loading initial ramdisk ...

When doing a reboot for T273280 I just ran into this issue with db2073.
db2072 (which as a newer firmware rebooted just fine).

Marostegui changed the task status from Stalled to Open.Mar 10 2021, 5:35 PM
Marostegui moved this task from Meta/Epic to Ready on the DBA board.

All these hosts will be refreshed during this FY. We are looking at doing so in Q3.

I am going to close this as declined as we're going to refresh all these hosts in Q3 via T297646 and T297648, so no more of the already hosts will be upgraded (unless something punctual happens between now and the date of the refresh).
