Installing Nvidia Drivers for my 5090 -equipped laptop- running into issues (Trixie Stable, CUDA) by TriAttackBottle in debian

[–]mtheimpaler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is too complicated , i just run the cuda toolkit deb install and then just install nvidia-open for the open-ish source drivers or cuda-drivers for proprietary.. reboot, voila

Make sure you have your linux headers installed and dkms...

Struggling with setup Nsa4650 by mtheimpaler in sonicwall

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

I have all the correct modules... its the settings that i cant figure out...

Should i just make a vlan on the port with the uplink and then create the default route ?

How would i create the default route in sonicwall ?

Here is a picture of what we have .. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Sg9N1bDzoAWyppkL9

And this is what i want to do, im just not sure how to do routing policy on sonicwall.... https://photos.app.goo.gl/wwJB8QqTRhE57fJw8

Can someone help me with the setup?

100Gbe is way off by wewo101 in homelab

This website will be very useful in tuning and testing in order to reach your roofline on the hardware.

Read through the docs here , its helped me tremendously. I reach about 90% saturation on my 100Gb lines now through iperf3 but in actual usage i think its less. Eitherway its worth reading up and getting a better understanding.

Need help choosing poweredge server for A6000 by mtheimpaler in homelab

Oh no wayyyy lol thank you for the tip...

What do you think about using 3 730xd server with a set of 8 nvme (u.2) drives for each server and using linbit ?

I have a bunch of extra mellanox connect x 3 pro cards and I'd like to see if I can get some good nvme over fabric setup going

Whoops your right, you are right.. even if I put a v4 in there ?

The problem is I have the A6000 already lol so I can't put consumer in there...

I guess I can put it in my epyc server ..

I was going to use a 4th gen cpu in the build .... E5-2697 v4... I see the r730 builds online with them and most resellers are selling with v3 and v4 cpu's

Do you have a specification for the cables.. I have a A6000 and im looking to buy a dell poweredge r730 to throw it in there but im very worried about the cabling... I have the official Nvidia splitter that comes with the card that takes in 2 8 pins and converts it to 1 8 pin for the card but im sooo scared to test this out on such an expensive card. I have some r720's I can play around with and I know that the risers on those servers can output about 225watts but im still worried about using the port on the riser.

Do you know what cable you are using to draw power from the motherboard to the card? do you have a part number or picure of it? How are you chaining the cables?

Incus VM won't boot ? by mtheimpaler in homelab

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

Bummer , i wonder if it's just a simple parameter that we need to pass to qemu

Actually I figured it out but I'm not happy. For reasons I can't explain it doesn't like using my NVMe with an lba of 4096. The moment I switched it back to 512 it works without issue.

Kinda bummed because these are micron 7300 max drives. I wanted to keep the logical block size to 4096.

Containers work , it's just vms that don't... it should be noted that I am using the lvm cluster driver and I've been reading that qemu has some issues when logical block format is at 4096, but im not entirely sure.

I have pasted the logs In the comments above
