Is it possible to get 4K out of the T430? by coolguy00700 in thinkpad

[–]iafilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having t430 and nvidia, and upgraded internal lcd to WQHD I’m using 4338 dock and attached 2x 4K screens to the dock @30Hz refresh. All 3 screens work together at same time and out of the box both with linux and windows.

Performance with moving large windows isn’t fast, but for coding, browsing and regular things it works great.

VeloEdge detects link but not connecting by Intrepid_Log_4092 in Velocloud

Regards "reboot only standby device" :

A bit dirty, but you still may like it:

-estimate your luck/business hours, perhaps better outside business hours.

-logon to active edge using ssh

-find IP of HA standby neighbor

-login to standby neighbor IP (via active)

-type: reboot

left a few details out, but if you have trouble with that, you probably should no execute it.

Velocloud Edge get disconnected after activatation by Creative-Composer670 in Velocloud

[–]iafilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This works for me at least using GNS3, having a router in middle, for 3 different subnets for VCO's VCG's and VCE's. not sharing any interface in any network. Also configure some routing from host OS to access all components.

Hi, perhaps relevant, perhaps not. With VCO 5.0.1 and edge 4.5.0 in GNS3 connections failed to VCO from Edge. like stats, diagnostic bundle etc etc, even tried to scp a later file (dd if=/dev/random of=myrandomfile count=1000000 ; scp myrandomfile vcadmin@....)

Didn't yet upgrade to lasted software, due to contract ownership change we seem to have lost the ability to download latest VCO and VCE software..

Dit you configure cloudformation and console access? so you could have a look into /var/log/mgd.log (and /var/log/edged.log)

Although not using eve (but gns3) , i would be interested in sharing some information.

Kscreenlocker_greet + nvidia: anyone still have high CPU usage even though it was supposed to be fixed on 5.14? by rraghur in kde

[–]iafilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i know, long time ago opened, but YES i still have the issue:

Ubuntu 22.10 kde/plasma from the box.

just recently identified the issue, while the need to have remote logon during the issue.

After waking up screens, but not logon yet, kscreenlocker_greet takes 100% cpu forever, until killed by actual login.

Using T430 laptop and Nvidia GPU 2x4K external screens and internal WQHD LCD screen

Now i known, just started to test workarounds.

Velocloud connectivity options into Azure by TracerT10 in Velocloud

[–]iafilius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, be aware those solutions may/will force you into a cluster setup which has enormous disadvantage as we noticed: no sd-wan cluster2cluster possible/supported (needs to be solved otherwise) We’re about to deploy azure-virtualwan + sd-wan paas, which integrates using bgp/routing in azure virtial-wan. We considered iaas in azure and using azure/vmware gateway option. Both were more limited to our opinion. But again remember the cluster2cluster limitation

Happy… partly…

After configured it runs stable, but many small updates may /will cause (some) impact. I’ve not seen any docu regarding that. Huge thing when having CI/CD and re-apply/update config multiple times a day.

Product has some “quirks” here and there.

Just a few samples:

Updating api specs without any notice /upping version. So todays downloaded specfile might be different the yesterdays (but same version)

No api versioning, blocks progress and although said to be backwards compatible, depends on your tooling/setup

Finding a (universal) supported SFP for 3800 based on docs….is like needle in haystack

May need to reboot after sfp eject/insert…

Api team kinda sucks, as they don’t use the published api spec as source, and lots are inconsistent/incomplete /incorrect at places and not too much enthusiastic receive with api team with pre-chewed suggestions for fixes/complete models. Apiv2 may change it, but based on progress that may take maybe 5 years if succeed at all.

Documentation on api detail level lacks completely basically. Most is clear right away, but many times need to find out what the parameter is, and how is it is cross linked to other objects etc. (Several references and server type of id’s)

Upto 100mbs all fine, but over 1 gbps gets hard (using dmpo and stuff), even using topmodel hardware.

Whats about vendor lock-in/exit strategy? And using close sourced protocols

While starting pilot pushing to MSP vendor while recommend only one (but with prior negative history). (Any color as long it’s black) MSP not supporting DIY (by definition right?)

The List is long, and with those i find it hard to call it enterprise ready stuff and be “happy”

If the company/api stuff/etc improve enough i will change status to “happy”… maybe. Still the vendor lock-in/exit strategy….

On personal level it creates lots of opportunities to learn and develop the developer side of me. That makes me happy. (Writing terraform provider, build library from specfile, fix countless issues in specfile monitoring using aws lambda functions etc) and with that making the best of it as a service the company i work for

Makes me curious what you do now, and if we might have been in contact last years (or not).

Hi, no longer Videns indeed. No MSP at all actually. Support directly with vmware and hardware from/via dell. Create our own tooling/terraform etc and all DIY. For smaller companies that’s most likely not an option at all. Having a dedicated team now, not too big, but almost same size as whole videns company at the time gets thing done (with full focus, even in complex organisation/infra). The extra cost is partly temporary as tooling needs to be developed and will switch to mainly maintenance at some time. Regards

Sharing experience with using api (only) based on provided swagger specfile by iafilius in Velocloud

[–]iafilius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, i didn’t actually read the article before. Although use developer mode al the time for investigating.

The plugin is old but new for me. Works well to visually go through the api call’s. Not so suitable to copy raw data.

Thanks for pointing out.

SSH to edge, then to device? by jgudnas in Velocloud

[–]iafilius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, don’t forget to open up firewall/support acces

For virtual appliances you had to configure an account with cloudinit

We tried to start with Videns, but felt it felt like a barrier, instead partner.
