10:29:42 are there any gotchas attaching a USB mass storage device to a GZ as a simple means of doing zfs pool backups? thinking of using a small qnap enclosure 10:34:05 also I have a auxilary pool that has it's root dataset delegated to a native zone, presumably this means I can't zfs send that from the GZ (direct pipe transfer)? So I would need to use ssh between the zone and GZ, or is there a better/faster way? 11:03:52 I just pushed 22.4.0 to images.smartos.org if anyone wants to get them early while I write up the release notes 12:06:42 https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/14243 looks like a good win for nvme pools, not sure how easy that would be to bring into illumos 13:45:30 nbjoerg: I get an fe80 local and an 2a02 global ipv6 address on boot, but both are similar to the MAC address of the network adapter. I can use iPerf in a linux vm or container both in client and server mode over ipv6 and ping ipv6.google.com, so its working in general. But I only got this working by importing a configfile with an ips-array(dhcp, addrconf) into vmadm on creation. 13:47:01 I would like to be able to provision a new vm with a static and unique ipv6 address through the api. 14:02:24 right, those would be slaac 14:02:36 they are derived from the mac 15:20:13 bahamat: I am using CoaL in VMWare workstation. If I manage to enable the plugin(which enables allow_ip_spoofing) you mentioned, how will I be able to communicate with cloud-init to get it to work? Could I , for example, add the cloud config(json formatted ofc) to the metadata input key in a CreateMachine call to CloudAPI? 15:20:43 Put your cloud config in the user-script. 15:21:34 Which user-script do you mean? 15:22:16 How are you provisioning? 15:27:44 I am provisioning through vmadm in SmartOS for testing purposes, but I am trying to find a way to integrate some kind of ipv6 provisioning into this platform we work with, which uses rest api to let Triton provision instances. 15:29:46 In the vm json, customer_metadata.user-script 15:29:58 Add your cloud-config to that key. 15:31:16 Honestly, I wouldn't use cloud-init at all for this. 15:31:54 I would use the plugin that I gave you, then I would do like customer_metadata.static_inet6 15:32:06 Then a user-script that's a shell script to plumb up the interface. 15:32:30 And turn on router advertisements so that you don't have to explicitly define the gateway. 15:32:49 Then you can provision from the api with the cli tool 15:32:54 It would be something like this: 15:33:34 triton create ubuntu-22.04 sample-1G --name web0 -m static_inet --script path/to/user-script.sh 15:34:45 Then your user-script.sh would do like 'ip addr add $int $ip6' (or whatever syntax) 15:37:56 Or you could add a custom systemd service to manage the v6 address. 15:38:24 That's what I do with SmartOS instances: https://github.com/bahamat/smartos-ipv6-smf 15:40:15 I have to leave, but I'll be back in about 2h if you want more help with this. 15:40:53 And if you're considering deploying this in a production environment for a business, I strongly urge you to contact us. We can help you make sure your POC is successful. 15:43:16 Thanks, I will look into these two suggestions in the meantime. 20:36:28 jperkin: I added a note to triton/pkgsrc issue 230
