Hello colleagues,


During phase 2 of the strategic realignment, the Application Services and Middleware executive leadership team has identified that the work can be better distributed across the entire team, thus eliminating the need for dedicated ‘System Administrators’ to handle this work. Moving forward, software developers and QE team members will share the responsibilities.


The following activities will have very low to no  support starting from 01.05 

Infra support 

Old BOS infra is in  decommission,  panned to end at the end of May 

Currently there is PSI / RHEV and RHOS / RDU2  infrastructure

All details regarding new RHOS infra are on [1]


Storage:

All BOS NFS shares  were moved to RDU2 netapp ntap-rdu2-c03-nfs-01.neta-002.prod.rdu2.dc.redhat.com

Currently is maintained by IT storage team

Dballocator

Most of the installation sources can be found  on:

http://download.infra.mwqe.eng.bos.redhat.com/databases/ 

OS support 

All servers are connected to dedicated satellite and capsule.

Satellite subscriptions for sys-mwqe  will expire on 2026-12-31 

For Windows products licenses you can request access:

Java updates

   Good idea will be to ask storage team for  RW access to RDU2 storage:

infinibox01-rdu2-nfs.storage.eng.rdu2.redhat.com for the NFS share /qa/tools

There  should be some volunteers to take over the workload  and related tasks.

Preferably before 01.05 not sure yet who and how long we will be around after this date. 

I created [3] for our end of support  feel free to add tasks / questions about infra and rest of the services maintained by sys-mwqe admins.
