Issue does not seem to be present on pdf02 that has the exact same set of classes. I even verified /var/lib/puppet/state/classes.txt - sorted - has the same MD5. I am inclined to say "just replace the pdf01 instance with the pdf02 instance"

Why do we have two pdf servers anyway?

(am inclined to agree, btw. Let's get rid of the pdf01 instance once @cscott chimes in)

• mmodell moved this task from To Triage to In-progress on the Beta-Cluster-Infrastructure board.

I couldn't find any logical reason for this error to happen.

+ OCG projects

If anyone actually watch those tasks, can you look at the beta cluster instances deployment-pdf01 and deployment-pdf02 and ensure they are working properly? Seems the pdf01 can be destroyed but then we have no idea what they are for.

Additional note: we can't connect to deployment-pdf01.eqiad.wmflabs

Unrelated but on deployment-pdf01 I have deleted /var/log/ocg/ content. The last entry was from July 25th 2014 and puppet complained with [/var/log/ocg]: Not removing directory; use 'force' to override.

Puppet recreated /var/log/ocg as a symlink to /srv/deployment/ocg/log. There is a bunch of logs being written there now.

I removed puppet and ruby from deployment-pdf01 including /var/lib/puppet.

That copied all the .rb files under /var/lib/puppet/lib/ and Finished catalog run in 47.30 seconds

So something ended up being corrupted somehow :-(
