5/14 Task list for Tego/Jack

🎯 Mac Studios online P0 focus

0.1 — Pull 10GBASE-T SFP+ modules from Cisco Nexus (rolling rack) Source: Nexus switch (rolling rack), any 10GBT-capable SFP+ port (~17+ available).
Target: Edit-A (RDU-SR3-3 @ R6 U29) SFP28 ports — right side of switch.
Count: 15 SFP-T modules total — 12 for direct Macs (Et25–Et36) + 3 for 10G Attos (Et37–Et39, see 0.3).
Tools: anti-static strap, port labels, visual fault locator (VFL) — do NOT swap cables without VFL.
0.2 — Mac Studios 10GBT direct (12 units, single-NIC) Plug each Mac Studio (RJ45) into Edit-A Et25–Et36 via SFP-T from 0.1.
Switch port pre-configured: speed forced 10000full, switchport access vlan 55, mtu 9000, portfast edge.
Label both cable ends. KVM/console → OOB switch V13 ports (Et49–Et80).
Report back: which Mac → which Et port (so Jason can map).
0.3 — Mac Studios w/ Atto Thunderlinks (5 units, single-leg) Heads up — no dual-leg / no MLAG for any edit station. All Mac/Atto connections are single-leg to Edit-A.

3× 10G Attos → SFP-T (copper):
• Atto RJ45 → Cat6a → Edit-A Et37–Et39 via SFP-T (from 0.1, +3 modules).
• Port config: speed forced 10000full, switchport access vlan 55, mtu 9000.

2× 25G Attos → LC fiber:
• Atto LC fiber → FPP-B (R6 U31–32) → jumpers → Edit-A Et40–Et41.
• Port config: switchport access vlan 55, mtu 9000, auto-neg 25G.

Report: per Atto — model (10G vs 25G), Edit-A Et port, FPP-B slot if 25G.
0.4 — KVM patch panel → Edit-A Each Mac Studio's KVM port → OOB switch V13 access (Et49–Et80, plenty free).
Keep KVM separate from data plane; consolidate to OpenGear console server later.

🎯 EVO MLAG / cable fixes P0 focus

1.1 — EVO 49 eth0 missing (mgmt) Check power + Ethernet on EVO 49 mgmt NIC. Should land on OOB switch V100 port (Et2–Et13). Swap cable or NIC if dead.
1.2 — EVO 114: power-cycle + reseat SAS (1) Graceful shutdown. (2) Reseat SAS expansion cable both ends. (3) Power on. (4) Verify expansion enclosure visible in OS. (5) Verify fiber to switch (currently missing per Jason).
1.3 — EVO 117 cable swap (fix asymmetry) Current: Storage-A Et8 + Storage-B Et7 (mismatched port numbers).
Move ONE cable on ONE switch so both legs land on SAME port number:
• Easiest: Storage-B Et7 → Storage-B Et8 (both Et8)
• Or: Storage-A Et8 → Storage-A Et7 (both Et7)
Use VFL. Report which switch + port pair → Jason repins Po117.
1.4 — EVO 119 cable swap (fix asymmetry) Current: Storage-A Et7 + Storage-B Et8.
MAC pattern (.e498 / .e499 sequential) confirms this is ONE EVO, originally split as "119 + 120" — it's just 119.
Same fix as 1.3: move one cable so both legs match port number. Use VFL.
1.5 — EVO 116: no card → install 100G from dual-25G EVO Pull a 100G NIC from a dual-25G EVO that doesn't need it. Install in EVO 116. Run new 100G fiber to a Storage leaf. Report port.
1.6 — EVO 111 / 112 / 113 / 115 wire-up For each EVO: cable 100G data + mgmt NIC. Report (EVO # → eth0 MAC → 100G data MAC → physical leaf port).
1.7 — EVO 120 clarify Confirm if there is a SEPARATE physical EVO labeled "120" (different from EVO 119). If yes, send Jason its two NIC MACs. If no, ignore (was a label mix-up).

Edit Switch B install (arrives today) P0

2.1 — Rack Edit-B at R6 U27 Per V5 rack elevation. Rear-rack power into both PDUs. Bring up mgmt ports first.
2.2 — Console cable Edit-B → OpenGear (OM2200) RJ45 serial cable from Edit-B console port → next unused OpenGear serial slot. Label both ends. Record slot #.
2.3 — 100G uplinks Edit-B → Spines 2× 100G QSFP28 fibers:
• Spine1 Eth34/1 ← → Edit-B Et54/1
• Spine2 Eth34/1 ← → Edit-B Et56/1
Jason configures spine side once cables in.
2.4 — Mgmt + OOB cables from Edit-B Mgmt: 5ft → OOB Et (allocate after rack). 1 GbE OOB if applicable.

OpenGear OM2200 reach-up P1

3.3 — 4G LTE SIM (cellular OOB) AT&T / Verizon / T-Mobile SIM in OpenGear SIM tray. For cellular reach when DCI + Segra both fail. Activate carrier later.

Compute nodes P1

4.1 — CMPT1: install ATTO SAS HBA Card in box + half-height bracket adapter included. Slot per CMPT1 chassis manual. After install, send Jason lspci | grep -i atto output. Will interface w/ Quantum tape.
4.2 — CMPT2: full setup + cabling Rack per V5 elevation. Install additional drive trays. Cable: 100G data → Storage leaf, 1G mgmt → OOB V12, 1G iDRAC → OOB V12 (separate). Power on. Hand off to Jason for PVE.
4.3 — CMPT3: add new drive trays CMPT3 already running. Install new drive trays. Verify ZFS recognizes new drives. Jason expands arcapool.

NetApp storage P1

5.1 — NetApp MPO cabling status check Plan: 12 MPO trunks from NetApp → Storage leaves (6 per leaf, 100G).
Each Storage leaf has 8× 100G QSFP28; 4 uplinks (Et53-56), leaving 4 free per leaf for MPO breakout.
Verify physical run from NetApp → FPP / patch. Send Jason per-port NetApp ↔ Storage-A/B mapping.

Other tasks P1

6.1 — OOB switch ↔ Mgmt switch link Connect OpenGear OM2200 10G SFP+ uplink → mgmt switch (V12). Or OOB switch 10G uplink to mgmt switch (Jason's call on path).
6.2 — Pull EVO5 100G temp cable from Storage-B Et50/1 Per Jason: yank it. Permanent EVO5 goes via proper port later.
6.3 — Acquire visual fault locator (VFL) tool ~$50 from FS.com or Amazon. Stop swapping cables until VFL is on site.

Lower priority P2

7.1 — J-hooks install (cable management) Per cable-ladder BOM.
7.2 — Fiber inventory: 5m / 7m MM count Count remaining 5m + 7m MM LC jumpers. Report to Jason — he has reserve in Greenville.
