Introduction
Use this page if you want to loan a machine to a developer. This guide has been updated on 26 March 2018 and reflects the new changes/requirements on how you should approach the process.
The format will be as follows:
- Finding a server
- Cleaning it up
- Activating and Testing the VNC connection to the server
- Sending the credentials to the requester
Everything you need to do when loaning one of the two type of servers is on this page. You can safely click on the links when instructed too as you will be automatically scrolled to the next step (eg: Server Steps -> VNC -> Email).
OSX Yosemite r7 - Test - Build Bot
Find a server
Head to SlaveAlloc, following this link: [1] and in the top-right search for yosemite-r7: Look for a server that DOESN'T have a note to it, such as the note in the example below, keep in mind servers with "migration to taskcluster" are not good for loaning either:
Take note of the server number, then lets find out if there is a task running on the server. Follow THIS LINK and in the top-right search for 10.10.5 (version of OSX yosemite). At this point there should be 2 things: 1) Nothing shows up. Make sure your search query is correct and if it is, it's safe to assume there are no tasks running on any of the selected servers, so feel free to pick whichever you find fancy. Now if you have the server SKIP TO Connect to the server section.
2) There is stuff that shows up, which means we need to do some more investigation. If after the search you see anything (as shown below) click on all the Buildmaster column links:
The link will lead you to the task-execution page which shows you what's happening on the slave. At this point (if there are more than 5 results) I would recommend you to open a text editor as we need to keep track of which server is running. You can extract the number from the textfield in the example below:
After you have a complete list of all the busy servers, see if there are servers that are free/idle. If not, come back again 30 minutes later and check again.
Connect to the server
TBA
Cleaning up BuildBot and Puppet files
TBA
OSX Yosemite r7 - Test - TaskCluster
Find a server
TBA
Connect to the server
TBA
Terminate the TC Worker
TBA
Cleaning up TC files
TBA
Setup, test and grant VNC access
Activate VNC on the server
TBA
Test the VNC connection
TBA
Grant VNC access/rights to the requester
TBA
At this point all thats left if to send the credentials to the requester.
