Some quick progress notes for a few FreeBSD and OpenZFS devs, which will be accessing one of my POWER9 systems.
See photos for visual reference.
- Separate L1 and L2 domain for all network access, zero-shared DMZ, unconnected to the rest of the RFC99 lab lack
- Mikrotik router has been temporarily slapped into place on the side of my lab rack, directly in back of the Talos II system (dual socket, 144 threads of fun!), using PoE for the main link
- PiKVM v3 is being cabled up for a jump box, will connect to the Mikrotik switch ports
- Talos II’s OpenBMC will be connected to the Mikrotik switch ports, offering iKVM and ipmitool SoL terminal, which will be accessible via the jumpbox
- Wireguard tunnels will be allocated on the Mikrotik router for remote users
- APC PDU for remote power cycling (hard reboot style) of the Talos II is accessible via SNMP v3 authenticated command
Later today on the “Bhyve Production Users” meeting, I’ll go over those notes.
- Thursdays at 10am PST
