Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Bad news regarding build.eclipse.org

I'm guessing the new server should be in the rack Monday, early afternoon (Eastern time).

We'll move news.eclipse.org to a small, dedicated vserver while we're at it.

Thanks for your efforts, and keeping us all informed.

Can you predict what day "as fast as we can" translates into? Monday? Next week? Or ... ?

If you say "Monday" I'll relax and count this slow weekend as unexpected "time off" :)
But if you say "next week", then I'll have to get extra busy and start working on some contingency plans. :)

I'm only asking since I sort of expected it to be done already ... which just shows what little I know, and how much I need things spelled out for me.

Thanks again,

  Folks,

I've spent a good part of the afternoon trying to resuscitate
build.eclipse.org, but my attempts have failed.  I believe the server
has suffered a hardware failure, but I can't identify it (the server is
over 5 years old).

In order to recover more quickly, we will provision a brand new
build.eclipse.org based on the Intel/Google hardware that was donated
earlier.  This effort will yield an x86_64 server with double the CPU
cores and more memory than the old build box.

The downside is that the local disk array on build.eclipse.org is not
accessible since it won't boot.  This means the *build home directories
are lost.  /shared remains intact since it was an external array, and
while speaking with Matt, we have reason to believe all the Hudson data
and jobs is intact as well.

We'll work as fast as we can to restore Build/Hudson server, and
hopefully the outcome of our efforts will be a faster build machine
which will serve us well for years to come.

Denis
