mrcharles 422999bf3c chore: initialize repo with full project state
Performance optimization engagement for a 7-host Proxmox R&D cluster.
Captures the accumulated work across host tuning, network analysis,
fleet assessment, and kubernetes architecture planning.

Contents:
- Host-side tunings (scripts/): CPU governor, swappiness, BBR, NFS
  nconnect, tuned profiles -- complete on 5 of 7 hosts
- Validation + benchmarking scripts: iperf matrix, bond/NFS fixes
- Collected host data (returned-logs/): check.sh output from all 7
  hosts + iperf results, including newly-validated pfv-tsys9
- AGENTS.md: operating context for AI agents
- PROJECT.md: board-ready fleet assessment with VM placement and
  storage redundancy analysis (40 VMs across 7 hosts)
- K8S.md: kubernetes architecture deep-dive covering cnode/wnode
  distribution, StorageClass design, and ETL/HPC workload planning

# apply-tunings.sh
#
# Applies the Tier 0 host-side tunings identified in FINDINGS.md:
# 1. Sets scaling_governor=performance on every CPU
# 2. Sets vm.swappiness appropriately (1 on storage hosts, 10 on VM hosts)
# 3. Enables tcp_bbr module + sets congestion control
# 4. Sets net.core.rmem_max/wmem_max + tcp_rmem/wmem for high-BDP NFS
# 5. Sets the recommended tuned-adm profile (network-throughput or virtual-host)
# 6. Adds nconnect=4 + noatime to NFS client mounts (edits /etc/pve/storage.cfg)
# 7. (does NOT touch bond0 xmit-hash — that requires ifreload/network
# restart which drops the host. Provided as a separate --emit-bond-patch
# flag that PRINTS the change but does not apply it.)
#
# Safety features:
# - Dry-run mode by default (--apply to commit)
# - Full backup of every modified file to /root/perfopt-backup-<timestamp>/
# - Per-host behaviour: detects storage hosts by hostname and applies the
# right profile (tsys4, tsys5 = storage; others = VM hosts).
# - Generates a /root/perfopt-rollback.sh that undoes everything.
# - Does NOT reboot, does NOT restart networking, does NOT touch hardware.
#
# Usage:
# bash apply-tunings.sh # dry run, show what would change
# bash apply-tunings.sh --apply # commit changes
# bash apply-tunings.sh --rollback # restore from latest backup
# bash apply-tunings.sh --emit-bond-patch # show bond0 hash change (no apply)

A manual edit to /etc/network/interfaces is required. The bond0 stanza
needs this line added (it defaults to layer2, which is wrong for storage):
bond-xmit-hash-policy layer3+4
After editing, you MUST reload networking for it to take effect:
ifreload -a # safe, brings interfaces down/up
# OR
systemctl restart networking # heavier, briefly drops connections
WARNING: applying this on a remote host over bond0 will briefly drop your
SSH session. Run from console/IPMI, or schedule a maintenance window.
The change is reversible by removing the line and reloading again.
