Hi everybody,
analytics1046 and analytics1057 are old hadoop worker nodes that we have just refreshed, probably already OOW. Before giving it back, the Analytics team would need them for one last duty, namely be part of a temporary hadoop cluster to support our incoming Hadoop migration to a new distribution (already asked to Faidon if it was ok to keep nodes for this last use case).
The hosts cannot pass the very first bootstrap steps, not even if I wait hours/days:
PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller BIOS Copyright(c) 2015 Avago Technologies Press <Ctrl><R> to Run Configuration Utility F/W Initializing Devices 0%
I don't want to drain a lot of people's time to debug this use case, but after a chat in dcops with Willy there seems to be some steps to attempt to see if it can come back to life or not (like upgrading the firmware, bios, idrac, etc..) so if anybody has time I'd appreciate some feedback about how to proceed (that could even be: let's not spend time on this please).
The hosts are not running any puppet production role so it can taken down, rebooted, etc.. anytime.
Thanks in advance!
