None of the pandas that bug 1056143 backfilled into production while their chassis was being removed have taken any jobs since.
If I had to guess, these pandas are likely still associate with their original foopy instead of a foopy that still exists.

I'll dig into this tomorrow.

I'm slotting the replacement pandas into the same foopies as the original pandas that they replaced. This information is contained in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1056143#c8

Add replacement pandas to new foopies.

stamp+, are we removing (or did we already) the swapped-out pandas from devices.json?

That will be step #2. I'll post a patch for it shortly.

Step in the right direction, now they are taking jobs, but every single one of them is now disabled, because they all fail every other job (with a tiny bit of variation as they break some jobs even earlier) like https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=49026169&tree=Mozilla-Inbound#error1, failing to powercycle 75 times and thus burning the job.

Failing to powercycle means that the relay host is probably wrong and needs updating too. That info isn't available in bug 1056143, so I'm going to need to go spelunking in inventory to find it.

I've kicked off a re-image of all the affected pandas, and have re-enabled them all in slavealloc.
I may well have disabled some for failing after you fixed them, thinking that I was just disabling ones that I failed to actually disable last night.

I will check them all again after the in-progress reconfig finishes.
Still busted, and disabled again: panda-0616, panda-0623, panda-0630, panda-0631.
Also disabled panda-0615, panda-0624, panda-0628, panda-0632 and panda-0633, so let's just say "all of them, once they finally take two jobs so they can burn one of them."
Since the relay assignments in devices.json are correct now, either the assignments are wrong in the inventory or maybe there's a problem at the mozpool layer.

I'll start diving into the logs today.
Despite a reconfig on Saturday which is supposed to update the tools checkout on the foopies (tools/buildfarm/maintenance/end_to_end_reconfig.sh), the foopies still had an out-of-date tools repo. This caused any mozharness scripts that referenced the tools checkout to use stale relay data when trying to reboot the pandas.

I updated the tools checkout on the foopies today, and then re-enabled 3 pandas to gauge results. Each of those 3 pandas has now run at least 2 successful jobs in a row, so I've re-enabled all the other pandas now as well.

The pandas I'm removing represent our reserve capacity. They'll be used to backfill any hardware failures in the panda pool. When that happens, a given panda will be slotted into a new foopy and relay, so keeping this old information in devices.json is pointless.

Removing these pandas and their associated foopy mappings will also make fabric actions that touch foopies less painful, because we won't be trying to access 20 decommissioned foopies.
