[Xen-devel] test lab: laxton power cycle time changed to 30s

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For our records.

14:41 <julieng> Diziet: How long do we wait in off state when hard cycling the 
                box in the colo?
14:42 <Diziet> I think the default is quite short but there's a per-host 
               override.
14:43 <Diziet> Default is 5s.  Some hosts have more.
14:44 <julieng> Diziet: For softiron: Even though the firmware is still 
                susceptible to self-bricking, we identified what activities 
                cause it the most and can provide some input on avoiding that. 
                (avoid using ipmi for power cycling, and when hard cycling wait 
                at least 30s in off state)
14:44 <Diziet> It's normally easy to tell if it's too short: the host survives 
               the attempt to power cycle, but manual off and then manual on 
14:43 <Diziet> Default is 5s.  Some hosts have more.

               reboots it.
14:44 <julieng> Diziet: In a thread discussion within Arm.
14:44 <Diziet> wait at least 30s> I can totally do that.
14:45 <Diziet> julieng: Now done.
14:45 <julieng> Diziet: Thank you! Hopefully laxton1 will stay alive longer :)
14:45 <Diziet> Yes...
