Thanks for the update and your hard work, David! FWIW, I am happy to share sockeni01 with someone else if needed. - Laura On Mon, Jan 5, 2026 at 1:35 PM David Galloway via Sepia <sepia@ceph.io> wrote:
Just wanted to provide a quick update on the lab status.
- Incoming connections to the lab got resolved as I was typing this e-mail. This means pulpito is back, qa-proxy is back, new VPN connections can be made. Apparently traffic got rerouted to our backup/redundant link and the firewall was not active for that route. BGP was moved back to the primary link. - There are some development machines available for use. They are all installed and assigned at this point so additional users will have to share. I’m trying to keep teammates on the same boxes since you/they are more likely to keep in touch and not step on each other’s toes. If you need a resource, see https://wiki.sepia.ceph.com/doku.php?id=hardware:sockeni#users and let me know which machine you need. - I got conserver running last week. All of the new testnode (“trial”) machines needed their BMC firmware updated to get serial-over-LAN working. Conserver running means we should have worker_logs being populated during teuthology jobs. However, the dispatcher doesn’t seem to have picked up that change. We’re looking into it. - Speaking of teuthology jobs, there are still a few of the new testnodes giving us trouble. Getting console logs working was a precursor to working out the remaining kinks with deploying the actual hosts. - The ‘wip-dg-maas’ branch still has some changes that need to make it back into the official MaaS PR <https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/pull/2105> - The Red Hat migrated gear arrived in Poughkeepsie and was unloaded on 12/19. The folio, robsoni, LRC, and Jenkins builders are highest priority to re-rack and bring online at the moment. smithis will be next.
Overall, you should be able to schedule teuthology runs using the wip-dg-maas teuthology branch from soko04.front.sepia.ceph.com. You may just need to tolerate some Dead jobs for now as we work through the remaining infra issues.
Apologies for missing the CSC call this morning. Was not feeling well enough to stare at a screen.
Let me know if there are any questions.
