Questions

  • I see sysctl differences between the natest-arc servers and the na-arc servers.  Here is a diff

  • I see ZeroWindow packets sent from na-arc-5 to nangas13 while downloading a file from nangas13 using wget.  This is na-arc-5 telling nangas13 to wiat because its network buffer is full.
    • Is this because of qdisc pfifo_fast?  No.  krowe changed eth0 to *qdisc fq_codel* and still seeing ZeroWait packets.
  • Why does almaportal use ens3 while almascience uses eth0?
  • What if we move the rh-downloader container to a different node?  In fact walk it through all five nodes and test.
  • Why do I see cv-6509 when tracerouting from na-arc-5 to nangas13 but not on natest-arc-1
    • [root@na-arc-5 ~]# traceroute nangas13
      traceroute to nangas13 (10.2.140.33), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
       1  cv-6509-vlan97.cv.nrao.edu (10.2.97.1)  0.426 ms  0.465 ms  0.523 ms

  • Why does natest-arc-3 have ens3 instead of eth0 and why is its speed 100Mb/s?
    • virsh domiflist natest-arc-3 shows the Model as rtl8139 instead of virtio
    • When I run ethtool eth0 on nar-arc-{1..5} natest-arc-{1..2} as root, the result is just Link detected: yes instead of the full report with speed while na-arc-3 shows 100Mb/s.
  • Is putting the production swarm nodes (na-arc-*) on the 10Gb/s network a good idea?  Sure it makes a fast connection to cvsan but it adds one more hop to the nangas servers (e.g. na-arc-1 -> cv-nexus9k -> cv-nexus -> nangas11)
  • When I connect to the container acralmaprod001.azurecr.io/offline-production/rh-download:2022.06.01.2022jun I get errors like unknown user 1009  I get the same errors on the natest-arc-1 container.
