== Name re-use ==
== Name reuse ==
Historically we did not re-se names of past servers for new servers. For example, after db1001 is decommissioned, no other server will be named db1001.  Ganeti VMs sometimes reuse hostnames, but bare metal typically will not.

The notable exception is networking gear, which are deterministically specified by rack. For example the access switch in [[Eqiad cluster|Eqiad]] rack A8 is named asw-a8-eqiad. If it is replaced, the new switch will take the same name.

For example: our Dallas site is named [[Codfw cluster|''codfw'']]. The vendor is CyrusOne, and DFW being the large nearby airport. (Technically, [[:en:Dallas_Love_Field|Love Field airport]] is closer but less well-known.)

This page documents the naming conventions of servers, routers, and data center sites.

Our servers currently fall in broadly two categories:

Name reuse

Historically we did not reuse names of past servers for new servers. For example, after db1001 is decommissioned, no other server will be named db1001. Ganeti VMs sometimes reuse hostnames, but bare metal typically will not.

The notable exception is networking gear, which are deterministically specified by rack. For example the access switch in Eqiad rack A8 is named asw-a8-eqiad. If it is replaced, the new switch will take the same name.

All hardware in the datacenter space is tracked in Netbox, which can be used to check for existing hostnames for both hardware and ganeti instances.

Data centers

Data centers are named as vendor initials (at time of lease signing) followed by the IATA code for a nearby major airport.

For example: our Dallas site is named codfw. The vendor is CyrusOne, and DFW being the large nearby airport. (Technically, Love Field airport is closer but less well-known.)

DC Vendor Airport Code
codfw CyrusOne DFW
drmrs Digital Realty MRS
eqdfw Equinix DFW
eqiad Equinix IAD
eqord Equinix ORD
eqsin Equinix SIN
esams EvoSwitch AMS
knams Kennisnet AMS
ulsfo United Layer SFO

Networking

Naming for network equipment is based on role and location.

This also applies to: power distribution units, serial console servers, and other networking infrastructure.

Name prefix Role Example
asw access switch asw-a1-eqiad
cr core router cr1-eqiad
mr management router mr1-eqiad
msw management switch msw1-eqiad & msw-b2-eqiad
pfw payments fire wall pfw1-eqiad
ps1 / ps2 power strips/distribution units ps1-b3-eqiad
scs serial console server scs-a8-eqiad
fasw Fundraising access switch fasw-c-codfw
cloudsw Cloud L3 switches cloudsw1-c8-eqiad

OpenStack deployments

[Datacenter Site][numeric identifier](optional dev suffix to indicate non-external non-customer facing deployments) - [r (if region)][letter for AZ]

  • Current Eqiad/Codfw deployments will not fully meet these standards until rebuilt: [eqiad0 (deployment), eqiad (region), nova (AZ)]
Deployment Region Availability Zone
eqiad0 eqiad0-r eqiad0-rb
eqiad1 eqiad1-r eqiad1-rb
codfw0dev codfw0dev-r codfw0dev-rb
codfw1dev codfw1dev-r codfw1dev-rb

Disks

  • Arrays must use the Storage array device role in Netbox.
  • Naming follows two conventions:
  • Array is attached to a single host:
  • hostname_of_host_system-arrayN
  • Example: ms2001-array1, ms2001-array2
  • all arrays get a number, even if there is only a single array.
  • Example: dataset1001-array1
  • Array is attached to multiple hosts
  • Labs uses this for labstore, each shelf connects to two different hosts. As such, the older single host naming scheme fails.
  • servicehostgroup-arrayN-site
  • Example: labstore-array1-codfw, labstore-array2-codfw

Servers

Any system that runs in a dedicated services cluster with other machines will be named after their role/service task. As a rule, we attempt to name after the service, not just the software package. Also, servers within a group are numbered based on the datacenter they are located in.

Data center Numeral range Example
pmtpa / sdtpa (decommissioned) 1-999 cp7
eqiad 1000-1999 db1001
codfw 2000-2999 mw2187
esams / knams 3000-3999 cp3031
ulsfo 4000-4999 bast4001
eqsin 5000-5999 dns5001
drmrs 6000-6999 cp6011

When adding a new datacenter, make sure to update operations/puppet.git's /typos file which checks hostnames.

Miscellaneous servers

Any one-off or single service host. This includes pretty much all non-MediaWiki software on the cluster that isn't load balanced across multiple machines. Or general task machines that can cluster (to an extent) but require opsen work to do so. The naming of these is based on location (since they tend to do more than one kind of thing or provide more than one particular service/site type). The use of those names is deprecated in favour of specialized cluster names above, when possible.

Datacenter Site Convention Example Notes
codfw Star Names acamar Only use modern proper star names that are a single word long and contain no odd characters.

Orion constellation is reserved for fundraising (Alnilam, Alnitak, Bellatrix, Betelgeuse, Heka, Meissa, Mintaka, Nair Al Saif, Rigel, Saiph, Tabit, Thabit).
