Install ISO tester/builder VMs in Iguana
The first step to start using Iguana for building/testing is to install 2 fresh VMs in it and connect them to our current Jenkins:
-
Install ISO builder VM in Iguana. -
Install ISO tester VM in Iguana. -
Connect them to Jenkins (maybe already move away from JNLP-based agent-to-controller connection -- #17798 (closed)) -
Enable 1 first builder in production -
Investigate "illegal reflective access operations" - This is tracked upstream ⇒ no further action needed from our side at this point.
-
Run test suite in Jenkins and record issues below in this task list -
Various isotester → services firewalling trouble -
reboot_node
fails: https://jenkins.tails.boum.org/job/reboot_node/7475/console-
I had the same problem on sib (workers running on 2 different machines). We could solve it the same way I did there: do ssh -v ${RESTART_NODE}
instead ofssh -v ${RESTART_NODE}.lizard
, and rename all nodes hosted on lizard to explicitly have the.lizard
suffix. -- intrigeri -
jenkins@jenkins.lizard
can't SSH intoisotester6.iguana
: likely a missing firewall rule -
Avoid adding .lizard
to the end of Iguana's agents hostnames (see #17846 (comment 176630)).
-
-
Enable 1 first tester in production -
Setup automatic SSH access from Iguana's users to *.iguana
VMs. -
Figure out how many isobuilders & isotesters we want to run on iguana (keeping in mind that for this first iteration, we bought half the RAM we actually want in this box) - I'm pretty sure that most of the time, the bottleneck is isotesters, so I propose we start by adding 1 more isotesters (on top of isotester6.iguana) and then see how it goes. -- intrigeri
- We decided to add 1 more ISO tester and 1 more ISO builder, ending up with a total of 3 ISO testers (6✓, 7✓ and 8) and 2 ISO builders (5✓ and 6) in the new hardware. -- zen-fu
-
Set up the remaining isobuilders & isotesters -
Update documentation on installing ISO testers/builders -
Manually accepting ISO testers' SSH key is needed so→ Add the SSH fingerprints tojenkins.lizard
can reboot them.hieradata/common.yaml
undertails::profile::ssh::sshkeys:

We now need to setup SCSI devices because of #11788 (closed): -
When installing the guest: ... --controller scsi,model=virtio-scsi,address=0:0:7.0,index=0 \ --disk "/dev/iguana/${VI_GUEST}-system,size=${VI_SYSTEM_DISK_GB},bus=scsi,cache=directsync,io=native,discard=unmap" \ ...
-
When editing the guest XML: Add indexed SCSI controllers and point disks to different controllers.
-
-
ISO testers should be excluded from Puppet Agent monitoring checks. -
ISO testers: Add the generated /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
to therole-jenkins-isotester
GitLab user's SSH keys.
-
-
Create follow up issue to buy, install, and use the remaining RAM -- #17866 (closed)
