[Development] Maintenance break tonight and tomorrow

[Tony Sarajärvi]

Hi

A brief update on last weekend. So on Friday evening we tried moving a few of our infra servers to the new site. After shutting down services and restarting them on the new site, a few VMs didn’t like that. There were badly configured gateways which competed during launch and things went south from there.

Also the network test server had its own problem. We have the NIC configured as eth0. However, once you restart the VM it brings up eth1. But it took a while to figure that one out. So, before that, we reverted to the old site on Saturday morning and launched the old server up. But, as said, the same problem occurred here. This time IT _had_ to figure out how to solve the problem and they changed the configs to work with the new eth1.

However, who knew we had configuring scripts for the network test server that specifically used eth0. Those we saw mid day Saturday. After fixing those, we got autotest passing again.

On Saturday evening we continued moving the rest of the VMs, at which point we knew what to do and things went much smoother this time. We could expect these kinds of problems. Despite that, one of the servers from Friday didn’t connect correctly until fixed on Sunday.

Shorter version: all works now (except for today’s new problems that are unrelated) 😊

Good morning.

We seem to suffer a loss of the network test server. That’s why autotests haven’t passed last night. We’re on it, and hopefully will get it online again.

Hi

IT will transfer over some infra related services from the old facilities to the new one this weekend. Jenkins, Coin, IRC, mail services are affected in such that we will shut them down for ~15 minutes while the move is being made. We scheduled these to happen late in the evening, around 22:00 EET, so that the moves will minimize the effect you your development.

Thanks for your patience,
-Tony
