its not heavily swapping but swapping enough. id like to change phx to point at koji1 when they are all back over to koji1 ill then take koji2 down allocate it 4gb ram koji1 has 8gb ram (and is 64 bit) then point everything inside phx back at koji2
koji1 has not been rebuilt yet as we are still waiting on load balancing to be setup. kojihub on koji1 is used only by people submitting builds. kojiweb and the builders are using koji2 as its hub.
this change should have no visible user impact, but will lower the load on koji2.
This one's tricky, whats the harm if we don't do it? Also whats the worst impact this could have on the release?
Right now koji is sluggish, if we do nothing it continues to remain sluggish and may hold up composes waiting for a build to finish. It could potentially use more ram than is available on xen2 and cause it to oom and bring down xen2 and its guests. xen2 has 3gb available so we should be ok.
The first part of the change request will put things back to how they always were. everything on koji1. the second part will help koji2 perform better, i had meant to make the change before feature freeze and it crept up on me. when koji1 is rebuilt I plan to give it 4gb ram also.
