Mostly, I spend a lot of time in my bed - it's such a delicious +sleep, compared to the hotel rooms I've been in in the last week(s). After my brunch with Quinn and +Marina, I decide to work on the two things of the day. + +Firstly, I need to prepare my deployment for [[Brainserve](https://brainserve.ch/)] tomorrow. You +see, when Fred and I deployed the [[Stollen]({{< ref wk8day3.md >}})] datacenter, we connected two +waves to Zurich, and two to Lausanne. However, IPng is not in Lausanne yet. Fred and I both agreed +that this should be remedied, as there is a power commitment in the telco rack in the Brainserve +datacenter that would allow for me to host the router without costing more money. A good deal, and +I'll take it! + +My default PoP kit consists of a Centec S5612X switch (8x1G RJ45, 8x1G SFP, 12x10G SFP+, 2x40G QSFP, +which I convert to 2x4x10G instead, and 8x25G SFP28); a Dell R630 VPP router with a small CPU +footprint so as to fit in 100 Watts of power, and an APU6 for out-of-band access and WiFi on the +floor. It's pretty straight forward for me to install these Dell R630s, as I typically just grab one +of the two boot disks from `/dev/md0`, stick a new one in the original server, and a second one in +the cloned server, and then boot both machines and let the raidsets rebuild. Voila, instant replica! + +As I am doing this, the lights go out, which is unexpected. It turns out, my main hypervisor for the +house is very sick. It has lost all of its disks. I connect via iDRAC and notice that the PCI device +for the SAS raid controller is completely disconnected. I power it down, open the machine, to find +the HBA controller flapping around in the breeze in there ... it is supposed to have two plastic +clips (Dell likes doing everything user-serviceable without screw drivers), but they've both popped +out. In 25 years of running Dell hardware, this has never happened. The remedy is very easy though: +I simply press the HBA back into its slot and re-attach the plastic clips. Machine boots, lights go +on, and all sorts of alarms clear. + +As the VPP stuff is installing, I move the MS Flight Simulator to its final spot (where it was +before Tim and I made it actually work). I'm really short one screen here (with the map and things +like the ATC response window and flight check lists), so I rummage around on Digitec and find a nice +13" 1920x1080 screen, but I also find on Aliexpress a nice 10.5" 1280x720 for half the price, so I +splurge and order both. Why not? I'm on sabbatical and have no income :) + +While Brainserve is canonically located in _Lausanne_, it's actually not, and IPng is a sucker for +correctness with locations. So my POP will be called `chcri0`, from the +[[US/LOCODE](https://service.unece.org/trade/locode/ch.htm)] for _Crissier_, in the canton of +_Vaud_. It's for the same reason that the router in "Geneva" is actually in _Plan-les-Ouates_ +(`chplo0`) and the one in "Lille" is actually in _Sainghin-en-Mélantois_ (`frggh0`). I put a +default configuration on the Centec switch and decide to skip the APU6 this time, as I only have two +left, and I don't have time (or, frankly, energy) to install it. Maybe later? + +Once the PoP is staged, configured, and ready, it's time for dinner. Marina is making a beautiful +_Risotto_, commemorating our trip to Italy perhaps, and it has fresh truffle from the forest that +our neighbor-doggo called Maggie has found for us. The meal is simple yet elegant, with black +truffle paste in the risotto, and sliced truffle on top. The truffle has been marinating in the rice +jar for a while, so it has lost lots of its flavor into the rice (great), but in itself is not the +tastiest mushroom we've eaten (not great). + +After dinner, we watch an episode of _Black Mirror_, and then I got downstairs for one more small +thing: my NLNOG presentation is in two weeks (October 22nd), and it's a different length than the +other ones, so I'll spend some time making a new copy for this conference. I send an update to the +program committee at 22:00 and considering I'll be driving to Lausanne and Geneva tomorrow, I decide +to take it easy and go to bed early. + +Today was a lazy Sunday. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-10-13/IMG_2073.JPG" caption="The IPng lab rack, with a bunch of Dell R630s ready to deploy.
