We're also getting I/O errors on disk sdb, which is one of the mirrors for the root filesystem:

Event Timeline

@fgiunchedi The server is out of warranty, I have some decom'd HP servers and most likely can steal a bbu from one of them. I also have decom'd host w/3TB disks that we can take from. This server will require downtime, also worth noting the 4 new ms-be hosts are here and in the rack and will be ready for you by the end of the week (at the latest). In case you want to decom ms-be1022.

Thank you for the update on the new ms-be hosts! Once one/two of those hosts are online we'll start decom the old hosts, I'm not too worried about sdb (the SSD) although please proceed with the BBU swap so we have the host healthy again. Host can be powered down cleanly at any time, let me know on irc when you'd like to do the work and I can power off the host!

I swapped the bbu with one from a decom'd ms-be host. The server shutdown during the boot process. I put the old bbu back in and the server booted okay. If @fgiunchedi needs this server then we need to purchase a new battery from HP. assigning to @wiki_willy for the next steps.

Update: the host isn't coming back (both mgmt and ssh) but yes given we'll need a BBU for ms-be1030 (T268036) too I'd say let's order some (?). The host will be fully decom'd in maybe 8-10 weeks but I think we can keep the bbu anyway post-decom

wiki_willy added a parent task: Unknown Object (Task).

Request for replacement BBU placed via T268061

I've disabled the handler to avoid further duplicate tasks, we'll need to remember to enable it post-maintenance https://icinga.wikimedia.org/cgi-bin/icinga/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=ms-be1022&service=HP+RAID

@fgiunchedi The battery has been replaced. The SSD looks to be /dev/sda and is an SSD. What do you want to do about the failed disk?

We can live with the failed SSD until the host is fully decom in a few week's time
