jpalmer: just experimenting with  more fluid communication between hosts in our cluster.  the end goal being automated vps provisioning (e.g., click a button in the Portal, get a new VM), which is like my holy grail project
it may also make automated ISO changes easier (although i have most of that done w/o zeromq)
it was just pretty cool with, like, a 5 line ruby script on the Portal server and a couple VM hosts, they were all able to send messages around
up_the_irons: are you around for a bit to try out the link status on switches for the dedicated server
mnathani: yes, in fact i'm at the data center too; i could physically unplug stuff ;)
cool
I am pinging the ARP gateway from one of the VMs and also pinging the public IP of one of the VMs
should I be monitoring anything else?
that should do it
i'll unplug a nic
ok
done
first NIC is unplugged
I got one request time out
then back to ping
nice
NICE
let me plug it back in
ok, i plugged it back in and unplugged the other one
again a single timeout then back to ping
Awesome
Packets: Sent = 518, Received = 516, Lost = 2 (0% loss),
bad ass
so yeah, your settings are golden
being able to push traffic through two completely separate switches is great, and that it fails over / back automatically
It really is
Thanks for trying it out so we know it really works :-)
I noticed your ISO library page has the VMware image listed on it now. Cool!
mnathani: yeah, i'm a fan of, "it doesn't work until you test that it works!"
so, now we know for sure
and yeah, i update that page whenever a new ISO goes up
up_the_irons: is the NTT link in yet?
mercutio: no
ahh cool
better than finding my route doesn't go over it :)
hah
mnathani: are you doing simple bonding,  or LACP  or what?
up_the_irons: did you add functionality to mount our own ISO's now, and I just didn't realize it?
jpalmer: it's not up yet, but i'm about 50% done with it in a branch locally
jpalmer: Its NIC teaming options under VMware ESXi 5.1
mnathani: oh, gotcha.
jpalmer: mnathani provided docs and nice screenshots; it will go into a KB article
*nod*  I just wasn't sure if you were doing it at the switch or NIC level
yeah, nothing in the switch; the switches should be agnostic as possible
mnathani: its bond'ing under proxmox.com ;-)

happy Friday
sup up_the_irons

just working on some tickets here...
fun
apple fritter ice latte hello friday
lol
I don't remember where I picked that up
I think someone goes around flooding EFNet with that on Fridays
sounds a bit familiar
north korea has internet?

China, and now Intelsat
