I will be taking friday off (but should be around for emerg issues) 19:07:41 <nirik> so, if other folks could try and be extra around to help out that would be great. I'm not sure how much irc time we will have. 19:08:14 <nirik> monday we are going to try and do some inventory/cataloging what we have 19:08:24 <nirik> and also pulling old OOW servers. 19:08:38 <nirik> and install a community-virthost01 in a new rack 19:09:05 <nirik> tuesday is more of the same + at 6pm we are going to move qa and secondary arch machines to a new rack 19:09:28 <nirik> wed and thur we are going to be getting a new tape system setup and happy. 19:10:11 <nirik> Any other upcoming tasks folks would like to talk about? 19:10:44 <nirik> after next week, we will have some new machines racked, so will be moving off older ones that are rhel5 to new ones that are rhel6. 19:11:29 <skvidal> yay! 19:11:44 <nirik> skvidal: you want to talk a bit about the infra-hosts repo? 19:11:48 <skvidal> sure 19:11:50 <nirik> #topic infra-hosts repo 19:12:11 <skvidal> so - ricky and I had talked about this a while back 19:12:20 <skvidal> essentially needing some place to store all the info about our hosts 19:12:25 <skvidal> and keep it more current 19:12:48 <skvidal> and also to let us control certain recurring events from a central server (ie: puppet disabling/enabling) 19:13:04 <skvidal> and track common info in one place that's revision control 19:13:20 <skvidal> so I made a git repo on lockbox01 of infra-hosts 19:13:24 <skvidal> we have a dir per host 19:13:32 <skvidal> and info in files/dirs under that dir 19:13:40 <skvidal> it's pretty obvious and straightforward 19:13:46 <skvidal> we have a file called run-puppet 19:13:56 <skvidal> if that file is there then the hosts will run-puppet in their cron runs 19:13:59 <skvidal> if the file is removed 19:14:01 <skvidal> then they won't 19:14:09 <skvidal> I'm sure we'll be doing other things like that as time goes on 19:14:24 <skvidal> right now I'm working on a script to populate the physical hw with important info about each 19:14:32 <skvidal> so we can more easily query it when we need it 19:14:35 <skvidal> and to check up o nit 19:14:39 <skvidal> err check up on it 19:14:51 <skvidal> I encourage everyone to make notes on servers they know about 19:15:04 <skvidal> if there is something 'odd' about a server add a 'notes' file and annotate it 19:15:25 <nirik> sounds good. 19:15:25 <skvidal> I'll probably write a simple script 19:15:32 <skvidal> to search and return info from this tree 19:15:46 <skvidal> but in general it is just a dir full of dirs and files 19:15:52 <skvidal> we could, eventually, turn it into a db 19:15:52 <nirik> ls / grep /find should operate on it nicely too. 19:16:00 <skvidal> but I wanted to make it simple for grpe/find 19:16:04 <skvidal> and for git 19:16:05 <skvidal> nirik: exactly 19:16:12 <skvidal> that's really it 19:16:20 <skvidal> if anyone has ideas on how we should be use it 19:16:23 <skvidal> or things to do with it 19:16:30 <skvidal> email the list or ping on irc 19:16:42 <nirik> sounds good. 19:17:30 <smooge> cool. I started on this with GLPI at home to help me keep track of stuff 19:17:41 <smooge> but this is much more practical for our uses 19:17:54 <abadger1999> Very nice. virthosts and package info candidates to live in there? 19:18:05 <skvidal> abadger1999: package info candidantes/ 19:18:36 <skvidal> abadger1999: I think what lives there is flexible and definitely up for discussion/suggestion 19:18:50 <abadger1999> <nod> 19:19:03 <skvidal> abadger1999: it's a dir full of other dirs - and it is git-controlled so it's not like anything cannot be undone :) 19:19:29 <skvidal> abadger1999: if you have ideas - that's great 19:20:09 <abadger1999> Where do the scripts live/run that populate the informational portions? 19:20:16 <nirik> yeah, I think we can come up with some cool ideas here, and in the mean time it works great for puppet and notes. 19:20:44 <skvidal> abadger1999: in the main dir 19:20:51 <skvidal> abadger1999: right now I just have sync-hosts 19:20:55 <skvidal> which is kinda obvious 19:21:04 <skvidal> I'm working on another one for populating hw 19:21:17 <abadger1999> <nod> I'll take a look there later. 19:22:14 <nirik> cool. Anything else on this? 19:22:19 <skvidal> not from me 19:22:47 <nirik> #topic Meeting tagged tickets 19:22:48 <nirik> https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=milestone&keywords=~Meeting&order=priority 19:22:57 <nirik> any meeting tagged tickets folks want to discuss? 19:23:42 <smooge> one sec 19:24:58 <smooge> I would like to have a one off "meeting" where we go down the list of open tickets and either "tag for meetings, keep in the bucket, close" 19:25:27 <smooge> I know I have a bunch of tickets in my queue which I am not sure how relevan they are any more 19:25:36 <nirik> sounds good. 19:26:09 <abadger1999> smooge: Sounds good -- do you have any idea how many tickets would need info-needed-from-not-infra-person to know what to do with? 19:26:11 <nirik> we could just do that now? or should we do it out of band? 19:26:49 <smooge> nirik, I was thinking of out of band. its over a hundred 19:27:01 <nirik> we could clean up the meeting ones now perhaps... keep, untag from meeting, close 19:27:19 <nirik> smooge: yeah. I have been working on cutting down tickets... would be good to go over more. 19:27:34 <nirik> I've also noticed there are a number of RFR tickets I am unsure of the status on. 19:28:16 * StylusEater is late ... sorry 19:28:25 <nirik> StylusEater: welcome. no problem. 19:29:02 <nirik> 2544 doesn't need to be meeting. Should happen next week. ;) 19:31:09 <nirik> I'd be happy to meet with anyone out of band and go over tickets and get more cleaned up. ;) 19:31:30 <StylusEater> I might have time this Sunday... :-/ 19:31:46 <abadger1999> Speaking of rfr... I started this the other week but don't really have the energy to see it to completion: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/From_RFR_to_production_service 19:32:11 <abadger1999> Needs more criteria filled in and be merged somehow with our RFR page/description/expectations. 19:32:31 <nirik> abadger1999: I could try and do that. I fixed up some other things on the rfr page the other day. 19:32:32 <smooge> ok nirik I can do it tomorrow. 19:32:46 <nirik> smooge: cool. Just ping me and we can start digging thru them. 19:33:19 <abadger1999> nirik: Thanks! 19:33:29 * nirik makes a note. 19:33:59 <nirik> we have several rfrs that basically got no one moving them forward, and a bunch where i don't know the status. I guess I can try and get them all in the same bucket and start pinging them. 19:35:29 <nirik> #topic Open Floor 19:35:34 <nirik> anyone have items for open floor? 19:36:10 <skvidal> just one thing I wanted to mention 19:36:22 <skvidal> I am going to be on PTO mon,tue and wed of this coming week 19:36:46 <skvidal> I'll check email from time to time but various folks have my phone number if shit goes sideways 19:37:00 <skvidal> and since nirik and smooge will be randomly dropping servers in phx2 19:37:03 <CodeBlock> so smooge nirik and skvidal are all out early next week? 19:37:08 <skvidal> I expect something will go sideways 19:37:15 <skvidal> ;) 19:37:16 <smooge> CodeBlock, yes 19:37:18 * nirik will try and not walk sideways. ;) 19:37:33 <skvidal> nirik: I thought you had to in order to get between the racks ;) 19:37:37 <smooge> CodeBlock, it is a ripe time for a coup-de-tat 19:37:40 <CodeBlock> I will try to be extra-around-more-than-i-have-been-lately next week. Which isn't that hard to beat 19:37:57 * StylusEater hears the lyrics *walk this way* 19:37:57 * skvidal wonders if ricky is going to be keyboarded 19:38:12 <abadger1999> :-) 19:38:38 <abadger1999> nirik: Question on phx stuff next week: No anticipated outages from that right? 19:38:47 <smooge> no there will be 19:38:51 <nirik> abadger1999: except for the qa servers and secondary arch stuff. 19:39:04 <smooge> there will be autoqa and secondary arc 19:39:19 <smooge> and then we will be cleaning up wiring while we make sure we have stuff properly labeled 19:39:41 <skvidal> and whatever server is taken down due to the drinking games 19:39:48 <nirik> yeah, so there could be blips if we need to re-cable something, but will try and keep that to a min. 19:39:51 <abadger1999> Okay. So two specific areas for us to watch and then wiring -- that'll potentially be any service? 19:39:54 <smooge> we will announce before we do that.. though I will try to time it with every time someone commits to git 19:40:05 <skvidal> smooge: nice 19:40:14 <smooge> skvidal, its the least I can do 19:40:16 <skvidal> smooge: time it for 23m and 53m after the hour 19:40:24 <skvidal> smooge: so we can't tell if it is puppet or osmething else 19:40:27 <nirik> we could also be consumed in a dust storm. 19:40:32 <smooge> yummy 19:40:40 <nirik> abadger1999: yeah. But hopefully/ideally not any. 19:40:49 <skvidal> nirik: indeed 19:41:22 <abadger1999> Cool. Just figuring out what to expect as normal for next week vs something unrelated breaking :-) 19:41:56 <nirik> we are also going to take pics before/after. In past workplaces it's been nice to be able to look at pictures when in doubt how something is connected and to what. 19:42:50 <nirik> ok, if nothing else, we could call this an early meeting. 19:42:56 <skvidal> hmm 19:42:59 <skvidal> one question 19:43:03 <skvidal> are you allowed to take pictures in there? 19:43:09 <nirik> yeah. we asked. 19:43:15 <CodeBlock> ooh, yay phx2 pics 19:43:15 <CodeBlock> :D 19:43:17 <nirik> and they seemed to think it would be no problem. 19:43:26 <skvidal> cool 19:43:41 <smooge> I will get appropriate booth beefcake clothing to show off the racks 19:44:17 <nirik> ha. parka and touque? (I'm guessing it's cold in there :) 19:44:40 <nirik> anyhow, thanks for coming everyone... 19:44:43 <skvidal> touque? 19:44:49 <skvidal> where from canada are you from 19:44:50 <skvidal> sheesh 19:45:19 <LoKoMurdoK> uufff being late 19:45:21 <LoKoMurdoK> hi 19:45:23 <nirik> :) 19:45:27 <rbergeron> sweet 19:45:41 <nirik> welcome LoKoMurdoK. We were just about to end the meeting... unless you had any items to bring up 19:46:38 <LoKoMurdoK> no relax 19:46:46 <nirik> ok. ;) 19:46:47 <LoKoMurdoK> let's go 19:47:00 <nirik> thanks for coming everyone... back to #fedora-admin and #fedora-noc. 19:47:02 <nirik> #endmeeting
