Story of my day. Couldn't migrate a vm. Investigating .. an openssl error which turned out to be non jumbo mtu on a switch port. nothing was what it seemed.

In a couple of hours today, I installed proxmox on 5 nodes, bonded the nics, created a cluster, added the licence subscription, DNS challenge LE certs, created a ceph pool. This sort of thing used to take a week or so with vmware vcenter.

Every time I have to update firmware on Dell servers, I am grateful that the Dell OME tool exists. The Lenovo Xclarity is a disaster area. And doing this stuff manually is unthinkable. Just bulk select click a bunch of servers and then wait for the updates to chug through. Saves so much time and is actually sensible. #sysadmin
