# Runbook 2026-08-31 — COMPLETE (amended after the Oct replan) Steps 1-3 below all landed and were verified read-only the same day (see REPORT.md status banner + §8, and NEXT.md). Kept for the record. Paths updated: repo moved ~/optimize → ~/projects/ultix. **Remaining perf actions (as of 2026-09-01):** 1. Net multiqueue — DONE + verified 2026-09-01 morning (bounce 22:51->22:53; `ethtool -l` ens18 4/4, ens19 2/2). 2. Root growth 279G → ~505G — fully manual, step-by-step with checks: `~/projects/ultix/GROW-ROOT-RUNBOOK.md` (#603). No script runs it; you type every command yourself. 3. Rebuild-from-scratch path documented: REBUILD.md + docs/state snapshots (regen: 14-capture-state.sh) — #615. **Friday 2026-09-04 (#609) is TROUBLESHOOTING-ONLY**: USB SDR reseat + zero-cost socket/PSU/BIOS checks. NO CPU/RAM swap, NO upgrades. All hardware moved to the ~Oct 2026 window (#601: 2× X5675 + 6× 16GB → 192G; NFS outage for -02 planned first; then q35 + 20 vCPU/128G + GPUs #606). Until then the interim fences (accounts 3G/4.5G) and daynight interim values ARE the operating config. Original steps, for the record: 1. `sudo ~/projects/ultix/1-guest-prep.sh` — kernel tunables, BBR, THP, cgroup slices, PSI collector, day/night timers, docker daemon.json, sddm autologin. DONE + verified. 2. `ssh root@pfv-tsys5.knel.net 'bash -s -- --go' < ~/projects/ultix/2-host-one-shot.sh` — graceful stop of 5111, ssd/discard/multiqueue-config/onboot flags, cpuunits 9000 over the sectestbed fleet, start 5111. DONE + verified (16:01 bounce). 3. Verification — DONE (16:04-16:15 pass). Follow-up root cause: gateway prod was DOWN at boot (bind race + live-restore endpoint loss); permanently fixed same day by the ukrrs-gateway-ensure unit, both lanes. Rollback notes unchanged: apply-guest backs up every file it touches; qm flags are individually reversible.
