Get a third dumpsdata server
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Having a third server would mean that we can use both current servers as active. We could move some dumps jobs off onto the current fallback host, namely everything but the xml/sql dumps. This will mean some network and i/o load relief for the one active server now, the ability to swap in the new server for either in case of hw failure, and seperate maintenance windows for xml/sql dumps hosts vs misc cron hosts for e.g. security reboots.

ArielGlenn triaged this task as Medium priority.
ArielGlenn added a project: Dumps-Generation.

I've asked for that in the budget for next year. @mark, please comment when we have updates.

This has been requested for next year's capex budget; awaiting outcome.

I'm going to go ahead with this; @RobH, I need a quote for a host that looks like dumpsdata1001/2. Previous quote info is here: T161344 and specs are here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Dumps/Dumpsdata_hosts#Hardware What else do you need from me to proceed? (If I should create a separate task for a different queue and tag it with a specific team, just lmk that too.)

I guess by the closure of the subtask that the server has arrived? What's the outlook for getting it racked?

RobH removed ArielGlenn as the assignee of this task.

As T234076 tracks the racking and install, this request is resolved.

Re-opening until the base install is done.
