Hopefully I can get some guidance on this issue. I have some devices (appleTVs) that I want to stop using my HE tunnelbroker (via juniper SRX). I'm trying to achieve this at the interface level on the switch. My logic could be flawed here but it seemed like a reasonable solution and a chance...

Now I know you’re trolling, they don’t use filters, they just auto dump on the freeway.

Don’t see a need for these in a Dara centre rack. Did you search the supermicro store site?

DPDK for east-west. SR-IOV for north-south (on my Cx-3 40GbE)

just went to see if the devplops link you sent forever ago still worked.....loving the new page. Sorry that it all had to come to that. Yay 100 and Yay my ICX6610. Just about to load R code and move S to secondary and have a look see at that.

Just starting out with ceph. Did a POC with vm's to get an insight into the technology....very nice and so far alot to still get my head around. No hard provisioning yet as I've learnt my nodes are tooo fat and to (2) few. So I speak no authority, just google knowledge. 5 OSD's over 5 nodes...

Yep ordered the sr4 optics. Might try again with a D'Arenberg "The Twenty-Eight Road" (Mourvèdre) which I think will pair nicely with a Ceph deployment I’m working on as well. The 777 sounds nice with a bit of spice.

Hey there, thanks for dropping by. Rather then fill this post with log and config dumps, I'll just start of first with what I have done and what is happening in broad strokes....because I may just be SOL Here is hat I'm currently working with: EMC Mellanox SRX6012 that is PSID MT_1270111029...

Proxmox Installer does not see Mellanox ConnectX-3 card at all? Set Mellanox CX3 VPI ports type

OK thanks. Yeah, its a juggling act to balance block, record and (glusterfs) shard sizes with, also, the requirements of applications (databases or vm filesystems) etc while having a uniformity all through the stack. This all leads to rabbit hole syndrome. What doesn't help is when looking...

WOW man, that's one hell of a lab. My K8s lab is 4 rPI 3B's with NFS from a little QNAP NAS (I also send ZFS snaps to that via ISCSI)

Can I ask why this as a performance test criteria? I know this is synthetic testing but we are talking storage node clusters here and not a single spinner (r/w head) in a single computer. A single person accessing the cluster is still a lot of data moving around with read an writes. One of the...

Yep to true. But a saturated network link with high iops is a saturated network link with high iops. Very easy to saturate a 10Gb/s link with COTS hardware and have responsiveness under load. The same also with those massive SPOF boxes the freenas guys build that can saturate 40gb/s. The...

Yep, Cx-3 (69:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]) on proxmox-ve: 5.4-1 (running kernel: 4.15.18-12-pve). I didn't bother with OFED, I just installed MFT and put my ports into ETH mode, rebooted and I had 2 new interface in my network page. iperf nets me...
