QA/Infrastructure/Automation Servers

Automation Servers

The Project Overview has moved to QA/Infrastructure/Automation_Servers/Project_Overview.

Server Overview

The automation infrastructure is the set of machines available for Mozmill-based update and release testing for Firefox.

This is divided into the following sets of machines which all live in the QA vlan in Mountain View (accessible as .qa.mtv1.mozilla.com).

Mac Pros

There are three existing Mac Pros that are legacy hardware for automation runs:

• QA-Horus aka release1.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• QA-Set aka release2.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• QA-Masterblaster aka release3.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com

All three machines run the latest version of OS X 10.6.

All machines have an administrator account with the username, 'mozillaqa'. Access can be done over SSH or Apple Remote Desktop/VNC.

Mac Minis

Ten 10.7 OS X Mac Minis were new purchased for this project. Their specifications are:

2.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm

In addition, four OS X 10.6 Mac Minis were acquired from ex-RelEng stock.

QA-Mozmill is an older, legacy, Mac Mini previously used for OS X 10.7 testing and as a sandbox.

All machines except QA-Mozmill have an administrator account with the username, "QA". Access can be done over SSH or Apple Remote Desktop/VNC.

The detailed list of machines is as follows:

• QA-Mozmill - a legacy machine used for 10.7 testing, account is "mozillqa" for this machine.
• OS X 10.5
  • release1-osx-105.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release2-osx-105.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release3-osx-105.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• OS X 10.6
  • release1-osx-106.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release2-osx-106.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release3-osx-106.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release4-osx-106.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• OS X 10.7
  • release1-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release2-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release3-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release4-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release5-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release6-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release7-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
  • release8-osx-107.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com

QA Mountain View ESX Cluster (HP 1230 Racked Servers)

These servers run ESXi and have a series of Windows and Linux virtual machines running within each.

The hardware specifications are:

HP DL120 G7 1U Form factor
Intel® Xeon® processor E3-Intel® Xeon® E3-1230 (3.20GHz/4-core/8MB/80W)
1333, HT, Turbo 1/2/3/4 Processor
1 X 250GB SATA HD
16 GB RAM

Numbering here starts with '4' since 1 through 3 are used for the existing Mac Pros running VMware Fusion.

• release4.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release5.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release6.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release7.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release8.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release9.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release10.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com
• release11.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com

These are controlled as a unified vCenter ESX cluster. This is accessible via vSphere as vc1.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com.

vSphere can be downloaded from the the server itself at https://vc1.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com. You can also use the web vSphere client at https://vc1.qa.mtv1.mozilla.com/vsphere-client/.
