The current placement analysis lives in > [`proxmox/docs/AUDIT-2026-07-29.md`](proxmox/docs/AUDIT-2026-07-29.md). ## Current State: STABLE The merged PFVCluster repo is fully operational across provisioning, DNS infrastructure, Proxmox cluster ops, and k8s control plane. ## Completed Work ### Server Provisioning (validated on sectestbed-sandbox) - [x] SetupNewSystem.sh deploys end-to-end to rc=0 (Debian 13 trixie) - [x] Security hardening: SSH, SCAP-STIG, Wazuh, 2FA (SSH+Cockpit+Webmin) - [x] NTP: redundant pfv-netinfra-01/02 (192.168.3.252/253), synced stratum 3 - [x] DNS resolv.conf: managed static file pointing at netinfra pair - [x] Test suite: 5 tests (framework, safe-download, 2fa, https, system-req) - [x] VM validation harness: git-based deploy + auto-rollback + guest-agent access ### DNS Cluster (pfv-netinfra-01/02) - [x] Production Technitium config replicated from tailscale-router (read-only) - [x] 124 zones on both nodes (knel.net + reverse DNS) - [x] pfv-netinfra-01 = PRIMARY, pfv-netinfra-02 = SECONDARY - [x] Zone replication via rsync systemd timer (every 60s) - [x] Credentials + 2FA replicated identically to production - [x] Both LAN IPs resolve knel.net device names + recurse externally - [x] **DHCP migrated from pfv-netboot → netinfra-01/02** (ISC failover-peer, primary/secondary). Both `normal`, 333 active leases load-balanced. DNS+NTP now handed out as 252/253. Netboot DHCP stopped + disabled. Webmin DHCP module on both nodes. ### Proxmox Cluster Ops - [x] 5 of 7 hosts fully performance-tuned (tsys1/3/6/7/9) - [x] Fleet audit refreshed 2026-07-29 (consolidated, storage-corrected) - [x] **Memory goal (≤80% actual) met fleet-wide** — highest host is tsys1 at 73% - [x] Capacity goals codified (80% RAM / ~50% idle CPU + workload model) - [x] **Storage topology corrected:** `local-nonprod` = S1 disk (not separate); per-host storage.cfg - [x] cnode5 (706) deleted; cnode4 (601) stopped (delete pending) - [x] **tsys6 S1 typo + tsys9 missing S1 — both FIXED by operator** (verified: 8/8 NFS stores active on both) - [ ] CPU ~50%-idle goal: fleet idles 0-5% (under-utilized; chase via workloads, not hardware) - [ ] tsys4: blocked on PCIe NIC + RAM install - [ ] tsys5: blocked on 2nd ethernet cable + NVMe install; **also single-CPU** (CPU2 socket empty) - [ ] tsys2: pending rebuild from Win10 to Proxmox ### Kubernetes Control Plane (k3s HA — LIVE) - [x] 3-node k3s HA control plane deployed: cnode1/2/3 (v1.36.2+k3s1, embedded etcd) - [x] **All traffic over Tailscale IPs** — no LAN IPs in node status or certs - [x] All 3 cnodes tainted `control-plane:NoSchedule` (zero user workloads) - [x] 13/13 health checks pass (verify.sh): nodes Ready, etcd quorum, Tailscale IPs, CoreDNS, API server, workload isolation - [x] Scripts in `k8s/`: wipe, install-cp, join-servers, post-setup, verify - [x] Kubeconfig saved to `~/.kube/config.pfv-k8s` (gitignored, embedded certs) - [ ] Workers (wnodes) not yet joined to this cluster - [ ] Distro decision: **k3s chosen for regular R&D cluster**. Talos docs preserved in `k8s/docs/` for future ITAR/classified cluster. ### PDU Management (powerman on pfv-tsys1 — LIVE) - [x] Cyclades AlterPath PM10i (10 outlets) managed via powerman over serial - [x] USB-DB9 adapter (Prolific pl2303) with stable udev symlink `/dev/cyclades-pm10` - [x] powermand listening on `127.0.0.1:10101` + Tailscale `100.121.189.98:10101` - [x] All 10 outlets defined as `outlet-1` through `outlet-10` - [x] Validated: outlet 10 cycled off → on (8/8 test checks passed) - [ ] Rename outlets to match physical devices (Friday onsite) ### Console Management (ser2net telnet(rfc2217) + conman on pfv-tsys4 — LIVE) - [x] 7 network switch/router consoles managed via ser2net + conman - [x] **USB enumeration problem SOLVED:** udev rules pin each adapter by ID_PATH (physical USB port topology) to stable `/dev/consoles/` symlinks that survive reboot regardless of enumeration order - [x] ser2net exposes all 7 consoles on telnet(rfc2217) TCP ports (2001-2007) bound to **Tailscale IP only** (`100.70.77.93`) - [x] conman connects to TCP ports for logging + multiplexing (7 log files active in `/var/log/conman/`) - [x] Both ser2net + conmand enabled via systemd (survive reboot) - [x] conmand systemd unit created (Debian package doesn't ship one) - [x] conmand remote access enabled (loopback=off, port 7890) - [x] Old `/root/conmap` + manual `screen` workflow replaced - [x] **Stair-stepping fix:** ser2net accepter changed from raw `tcp` to `telnet(rfc2217)` so conman's telnet NVT negotiates binary mode properly ### Ansible AWX (tsys-awx — LIVE) - [x] AWX 24.6.1 deployed via AWX Operator 2.19.1 on k3s single-node - [x] Accessible at `http://tsys-awx.knel.net` (port 80, LoadBalancer via k3s ServiceLB) - [x] Admin login: `admin` / `REDACTED_PASSWORD` - [x] PostgreSQL 15 (bundled, 8 GiB PVC on local-path) - [x] VM resized: 32→60 GB disk, swap converted to swapfile - [x] Scripts in `awx/`: install-k3s, deploy-awx, verify-awx - [ ] HTTPS/TLS not yet configured (currently HTTP on port 80) - [ ] Execution environments not yet customized ### Repo Merge - [x] KNELServerBuild merged into PFVCluster (history preserved) - [x] Directory structure reorganized (provisioning/, tests/, perf/, docs/) - [x] All docs gardened: links fixed, stale refs removed, tailscale.md updated ## Known Issues | Issue | Impact | Status | |-------|--------|--------| | **2 of 3 k3s cnodes on tsys4** | tsys4 failure = etcd quorum lost (1 of 3) | Accepted — fundamental constraint with 3 cnodes + 2 NFS servers.
