mrcharles 6814374bac fix: keep UCS on spinning disk, repurpose D3 SSD for k8s/CI workloads
UCS (LDAP/AD) does not need SSD. Corrected placement:
- ucs-01 stays on D2 (tsys4 HDD) -- no change needed
- ucs-02 moves from D5 (tsys4) to S2 (tsys5 HDD) for cross-server
  redundancy only, not for speed

D3 SSD (moving to tsys5 Friday) is now freed for workloads that
actually benefit: sectestbed k8s nodes, CI/CD artifact cache, or a
container image registry mirror.

Added storage tier characterization per host (tsys4 = bulk/spinning
only, tsys5 = hybrid fast-tier hub, tsys2/3 = SSD/NVMe only). Added
UCS migration TODO item for today.

mrcharles 019ab468bf feat: relocate D3 SSD from tsys4 USB to tsys5 SAS on Friday
Deep-dive on tsys4/5 storage controllers revealed:
- tsys4: 4-port SATA, all occupied; D3 SSD is USB 2.0
- tsys5: LSI SAS1068E (8-port, 5 free) + ICH10 SATA (2 free) + USB 3.0

Decision: move D3 (SK hynix SSD) to a tsys5 SAS port. Eliminates USB
bottleneck and consolidates all fast storage on tsys5: NVMe (local) +
D3 SSD + T5-SSD + 4 HDD exports.

Updated storage architecture, speed tiers, critical VM placement,
failure survival matrix, StorageClass design, and Friday plan.

mrcharles db575080c9 docs: integrate tsys2 hardware findings from Windows inventory
tsys2 validated via PowerShell on Windows: 2 SSDs (Samsung 960 PRO
NVMe 512GB + Samsung 850 EVO SATA 1TB) -- the best local storage in
the fleet. wnode-tsys2 needs no NFS; boot on NVMe, bulk data on SATA
SSD. Both NICs are USB dongles (ASIX + Realtek) -- unavoidable on
this laptop form factor, no PCIe NIC expansion possible.

Updated storage tiers, wnode placement, and k8s labeling to reflect
that tsys2 is the fastest-storage worker node. Marked TODO.md items
as resolved.

mrcharles 11ae08f7e6 docs: add TODO.md with tsys2 Windows inventory commands
Adds the PowerShell and cmd.exe commands the user needs to run on the
Windows host (pfv-tsys2) to gather disk, network, RAM, GPU, and PCIe
details before rebuilding it as Proxmox. Also documents the Friday
maintenance window steps (tsys4 NIC+RAM, tsys5 cable+NVMe) and open
questions for the next session.
