====== Planned/Scheduled Maintenance Procedures ======
Historically, infrastructure maintenance has been on an as-needed "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" basis.  Now that most Infrastructure services are highly available and the lab network/services/suite have stabilized, we're able to afford occasional downtime to perform system updates, hardware swaps, OS upgrades, etc.

This document (like all good documentation) will be ever-evolving.

===== Frequency/Timing =====
The PnT Labs team has scheduled monthly maintenance on the second Friday of every month.  Since this maintenance only has the potential to disrupt operations in the downstream/Octo lab, it could be a good candidate.  Maintenance on Fridays allows for troubleshooting and rollbacks, if necessary, either late Friday evening or on Saturdays during a time when the lab is usually only running scheduled test suites.

Maintenance should not disrupt testing cycles when an upstream release is imminent.

Maintenance should be announced on the [[http://status.sepia.ceph.com|Status Portal]] and sepia-users mailing list at least a week prior and all stakeholders, yet TBD, should give a green light before proceeding.

===== Scheduled Maintenance Plans =====
==== CI Infrastructure Procedure ====
Updating the dev chacra nodes ({1..5}.chacra.ceph.com) has little chance to affect upstream teuthology testing except while the chacra service is redeployed or a host is rebooted.  Because of thise, it's relatively safe to perform CI maintenance separate from Sepia lab maintenance.  To be extra safe, you could pause the Sepia queue and wait ~30min to make sure no package manager processes get run against a chacra node.

  - Notify ceph-devel@
  - Log into each Jenkins instance, **Manage Jenkins** -> **Prepare for Shutdown**
  - Again in Jenkins, go to **Manage Jenkins** -> **Manage Plugins**
  - Select **All** at the bottom and click **Download now and install after restart**
  - Wait for all jobs to finish and make sure plugins are downloaded
  - Once all jobs are completed, ssh to each Jenkins instance
    - Updating the jenkins package or rebooting will restart the service so:
    - ''systemctl stop jenkins''
    - ''systemctl disable jenkins''
    - ''apt update''
    - ''apt install linux-image-generic'' (or equivalent to **just** update the kernel)
    - Reboot the host so you're running the latest kernel
  - **Update Slaves**
    - ssh to each static smithi slave (smithi{119..128}
    - ssh to each slave-{centos,ubuntu}-* slave, update packages, and **shut down**
    - Put each irvingi node in Maintenance mode under the **Hosts** tab in the [[https://mgr01.front.sepia.ceph.com/ovirt-engine/webadmin/?locale=en_US#hosts-events|RHEV Web UI]]
    - In the RHEV Web UI, highlight each irvingi host and click **Update**
    - Bring slave-{centos,ubuntu}-* VMs back online after irvingis update
    - Make sure all static slaves reconnect to Jenkins
  - **Update chacra, mita, shaman, prado**
    - If no service redeploy is needed for chacra, shaman, or mita, just ssh to each of those hosts and ''apt update && apt upgrade && reboot''
    - If a redeploy is needed, see each service's individual wiki page
  - Once all the other CI hosts are up to date, update each Jenkins instance: ''apt upgrade''
  - This should restart Jenkins but if it doesn't, ''systemctl start jenkins''
  - ''systemctl enable jenkins''
  - Spot check a few jobs to make sure all plugins are working properly
    - You can check this by commenting ''jenkins test make check'' in a PR
    - Make sure the Github hooks are working (Was a job triggered? When the job finishes, does it update the status in the PR?)
    - Make sure postbuild scripts are running when they're supposed to (Is the FAILURE script running when the build PASSED?  That's a problem)

----

==== Public Facing Sites Procedure ====
=== tracker.ceph.com and www.ceph.com ===
For the most part, these hosts' packages can be updated and hosts rebooted whenever.  If you're feeling friendly, you could send a heads up to ceph-devel and/or ceph-users.  

== Post-update Tasks ==
  * Log in to tracker.ceph.com and modify a bug
  * Spot check a few pages on www.ceph.com
  * Log in to www.ceph.com if you have a login to wordpress

----

=== docs.ceph.com ===
As long as there isn't a [[https://jenkins.ceph.com/computer/docs.ceph.com/|job]] running, this host can be updated and rebooted whenever.

== Post-update Tasks ==
  * Does http://docs.ceph.com load?
  * Is the host reattached as a slave in [[https://jenkins.ceph.com/computer/docs.ceph.com/|Jenkins]]?

----

=== download.ceph.com ===
Rebooting this host is disruptive to upstream testing and should be part of a planned pre-announced outage to the ceph-users and ceph-devel mailing lists.

== Post-update Tasks ==
  * Does https://download.ceph.com load?

==== Sepia Lab Procedure ====
  - Send a planned outage notice to sepia at lists dot ceph.com
  - [[services:teuthology#gracefully_stop_workers|Instruct teuthology workers to die]]
    - Wait for there to be no jobs running.  This can take up to 12 hours.
    - If you don't want to wait:
      - Ask Yuri if ''scheduled_teuthology'' runs can be killed
      - Ask individual devs if their runs can be killed
  - Kill idle workers<code>
ssh teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com
sudo su - teuthworker
bin/worker_kill_idle
</code>
  - Once there are no jobs running and no workers (''teuthworker@teuthology:~$ bin/worker_count'')
    - Update packages on teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com
    - ''%%shutdown -r +5 "Rebooting during planned maintenance.  SAVE YOUR WORK!"%%''
    - Update and reboot:
      - labdashboard.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - circle.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - cobbler.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - conserver.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - drop.ceph.com
      - git.ceph.com
      - fog.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - ns1.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - ns2.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - nsupdate.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - vpn-pub.ovh.sepia.ceph.com
      - satellite.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - sentry.front.sepia.ceph.com
      - pulpito.front.sepia.ceph.com
  - Finally, update and reboot gw.sepia.ceph.com ((See [[services:rhev#emergency_rhev_web_ui_access_w_o_vpn]] for emergency backup plan))

=== Sepia Lab Post Maintenance Tasks ===
  - ''ssh $(whoami)@8.43.84.131'' (circle.front/GFW proxy)
  - Log in to [[https://cobbler.front.sepia.ceph.com/cobbler_web/system/list|Cobbler]]
  - ''console smithi001.front.sepia.ceph.com'' (Do you get a SOL session?)
  - ''ssh drop.ceph.com''
  - Does git.ceph.com load?  Is it up to date?
  - Log in to [[http://fog.front.sepia.ceph.com/fog/management/index.php|FOG]] ((Updating the database can break FOG.  See https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10006/ubuntu-is-fog-s-enemy))
  - ''dig smithi001.front.sepia.ceph.com @vpn-pub.ovh.sepia.ceph.com''
  - ''dig smithi001.front.sepia.ceph.com @ns1.front.sepia.ceph.com''
  - ''dig smithi001.front.sepia.ceph.com @ns2.front.sepia.ceph.com''
  - ''%%teuthology-lock --lock-many 1 -m ovh --os-type ubuntu --os-version 16.04%%'' (Do you get a functioning OVH node?  ''dig'' its hostname against vpn-pub and make sure nsupdate is working)
  - ''%%teuthology-lock --lock-many 1 -m smithi --os-type rhel%%''
    - Run ceph-cm-ansible against that host and verify it subscribes to Satellite and can yum update
  - Does http://sentry.ceph.com/sepia load?
  - Does http://pulpito.ceph.com load?
  - Verify all the reverse proxies in ''/etc/nginx/sites-enabled'' on gw.sepia.ceph.com are accessible

Finally, once all post-maintenance tasks are complete,<code>
ssh teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com
sudo su - teuthworker
bin/worker_start smithi 25
^D^D
</code>

Check how many running workers there should be in ''/home/teuthworker/bin/worker_start'' and start **1/4** of them at a time.  If too many start at once, they can overwhelm the teuthology VM with ansible processes or overwhelm FOG with Deploy tasks.

===== Boilerplate Outage Notices =====
==== CI ====
<code>
Hi All,

A scheduled maintenance of the CI Infrastructure is planned for YYYY-MM-DD at HH:MM UTC.

We will be updating and rebooting the following hosts:
jenkins.ceph.com
2.jenkins.ceph.com
chacra.ceph.com
{1..5}.chacra.ceph.com
shaman.ceph.com
1.shaman.ceph.com
2.shaman.ceph.com

This means:
  - Jenkins will be paused and stop processing new jobs so PR checks will be delayed
  - Once there are no jobs running, all hosts will be updated and rebooted
  - Repos on chacra nodes will be temporarily unavailable

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,

Hi All,

A scheduled maintenance of the Sepia Lab Infrastructure is planned for YYYY-MM-DD at HH:MM UTC.

We will be updating and rebooting the following hosts:
teuthology.front.sepia.ceph.com
labdashboard.front.sepia.ceph.com
circle.front.sepia.ceph.com
cobbler.front.sepia.ceph.com
conserver.front.sepia.ceph.com
fog.front.sepia.ceph.com
ns1.front.sepia.ceph.com
ns2.front.sepia.ceph.com
nsupdate.front.sepia.ceph.com
vpn-pub.ovh.sepia.ceph.com
satellite.front.sepia.ceph.com
sentry.front.sepia.ceph.com
pulpito.front.sepia.ceph.com
drop.ceph.com
git.ceph.com
gw.sepia.ceph.com

This means:
  - teuthology workers will be instructed to die and new jobs will not be started until the maintenance is complete
  - DNS may be temporarily unavailable
  - All aforementioned hosts will be temporarily unavailable for a brief time
  - Your VPN connection will need to be restarted

I will send a follow-up "all clear" e-mail as a reply to this one once the maintenance is complete.

Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.

Thanks,
