Replacing nuc2

Due to the sheer humor of the universe, nuc2 (a venerable old beast of 6 years) suffered a power supply failure of some sort, just one week after we rolled the fleet to liken. I ordered a new mini PC to take its place.

The cluster carried on with four machines while the replacement shipped. nuc2’s Machine record read Lost, its scrape targets came out, and the CI runner fleet dropped from five to four.

The replacement, a little Bmax, arrived two days later. Replacing a leader was: boot the stick, read the hardware report, write the new nuc2 manifest, and install it as nuc2. It rejoined the leader rotation the same afternoon. From a dead power supply to a fully replaced leader in two days, and most of that was shipping.
