    Harvester HCI, anyone working with it?

    Having just finished converting the handful of VMs that would be too much of a pain to re-setup from scratch, my current take is that Harvester's VM import controller plugin is too much of a pain for dealing with my three- or four-off needs. Instead, I simply powered off the VMs in Xen...

    Harvester HCI, anyone working with it?

    Yep, after seeing you mention Longhorn V2, I did some reading, decided to give it a try, and ran into the same issue. Well, I didn't try reinstalling, but realized that I wouldn't be able to convert my existing data disk, and decided that I could be content with V1 (it was fine before, but I...

    Harvester HCI, anyone working with it?

    My employer switched from VMware to XCP-ng, hence my current dogfooding of the latter at home. Mind you, they use it with a traditional SAN, while at home, lacking a SAN, I decided to be adventurous and try it with XOSTOR. Let's just say that that's not a choice I'd repeat. On the other hand...

    Harvester HCI, anyone working with it?

    I started using Harvester at home back around version 1.3(ish). I did take a detour into the world of XCP-ng, but have been contemplating switching back. It's great to see other people sharing their appreciation for this unique hypervisor. Thanks for sharing your journey!

    Dell C6400 ramps fans up to near full speed all the time

    I'm sorry, that really sucks. All I have to offer is that I've had good luck with dual-port SFP28 Mellanox ConnectX-4 OCP 2.0 cards in a C6400.

    Dell C6400 ramps fans up to near full speed all the time

    That's in line with my experience; if any one or more nodes aren't fully inserted, the fans will spin all the way up.

    It sounds like you might have confirmed this already, but in case you do still need to know, the 7280SR/SR2 is supported in the latest 4.30/4.31/4.32 releases.

    NVIDIA BlueField-2 200GbE DPUs for under $469

    Yes, I have two 100G ports now on a BF2M515A. It was very difficult because I didn't know what I was doing, so I stumbled through it and didn't document the steps well enough in the moment. A few days later I tried to write up the process from memory, but that memory had already gotten pretty...

    NVIDIA BlueField-2 200GbE DPUs for under $469

    I bought one of these from this seller last fall. For what it's worth, they can be cross flashed to the 516A (IIRC) 2x100G model.

    Smallest EVPN-VXLAN Capable Switch?

    If EVPN is a hard requirement, that rules out Mikrotik. I'm not sure it really meets your definition of "small," and they're not particularly cheap on the used market, but the Dell S4112F and S5212F switches are half width (albeit deeper than they are wide), and should do proper VXLAN EVPN with...

    Networking Novice Arista Switch Setup Help Needed

    I would recommend searching your favorite online retailer for a USB to RJ-45 console cable. Many listings will say that they're compatible with Cisco routers; since Arista uses the same pinout, those cables will work with your 7050 as well. The main reason to buy a USB to DB9 cable and a DB9 to...

    The 7280TR should still be supported in EOS 4.30 and 4.31, for what it's worth.

    Arista DCS-7050TX-64-F - eBay US

    At work, I use 7280SR3s in a service provider network where most of them are mounted in 2-post racks. Arista includes ears intended for the purpose (which may or may not be included with used switches purchased elsewhere), but I would not recommend hanging the switches by ears mounted all the...

    Arista DCS-7050TX-64-F - eBay US

    There is no on-box GUI like Juniper with J-web on JunOS. Arista does offer CloudVision, but that's a pretty hefty service that you have to host internally on bare metal or your virtualization infrastructure (or pay for a cloud subscription). It provides a whole variety of config management and...
