We are in the process of adding Debian 11 (Bullseye) image to all FABRIC sites. We will notify when this image can be used in your notebooks.

[Mert Cevik]

Following subnets are used for control interfaces of the VMs on all sites.

[1] 10.20.4.0/23
[2] 10.30.6.0/23

Update:

For the EDC site (special RACK for Measurement VMs) following subnets are used:

[1] 10.40.4.0/23
[2] 10.40.6.0/23

Maintenance on FABRIC-MICH is completed.

[Mert Cevik]

Maintenance on FABRIC-MASS is completed.

[Mert Cevik]

Maintenance on FABRIC-MASS is completed.

[Mert Cevik]

This outage is resolved. All FABRIC services are operational and new requests can be submitted.

[Mert Cevik]

This outage is resolved. VMs on FABRIC-NCSA rack are reachable from public internet. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.

[Mert Cevik]

We are working with the hosting campus for a known network issue that may require part replacement. No ETA is available, updates will be posted when the problem is resolved.

[Mert Cevik]

If you create an example slice to reveal the problem, we can work on it to understand better, suggest solutions, consider changes on public ACLs. Please let us know with the name of the slice and FABRIC site, if this sounds good for you.

[Mert Cevik]

Does it mean that TACC site is not support IPv6?

Yes, TACC site does not support IPv6, it supports IPv4 addresses.

Sites MAX, TACC (and upcoming MASS) support only IPv4 addresses.

Sites STAR, MICH, UTAH, NCSA, WASH, DALL, SALT support only IPv6 addresses.

Hi Adam,

I checked FABRIC-MAX, however I could not repeat the problem. It will make it easier for us if you can share information about the slice (eg. topology information as a list/description, quick drawing,  request python code etc).

[Mert Cevik]

Network outage is resolved. FABRIC-TACC is online.

[Mert Cevik]

This maintenance is re-scheduled for Tuesday 1/11/22 –  9am-12pm ET.

[Mert Cevik]

I cannot comment on that without diving into the logs to see how the VM was created, PCIe device attached etc. Instead, I suggest starting a new slices (including the fixes for management network), then step by step checking the status with respect to the requested devices. I will be able to help if you prefer this approach.

[Mert Cevik]

I checked one of your VMs on FABRIC-MAX.

Name: ff5acfa1-bbff-44a0-bf28-3d7d2f038d1f-Node1
IP: 63.239.135.79

In your workflow to configure slice, you change the network settings that affect Management Network.

[root@node1 ~]# systemctl status NetworkManager
● NetworkManager.service – Network Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service; disabled; ve>
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:NetworkManager(8)
[root@node1 ~]# systemctl is-enabled NetworkManager
disabled

Interface eth0 should persist its IP address configuration (from RFC1918 subnet). Network node of the virtualization platform control external traffic either by NAT’ing or routing against the configured IP address. Currently you have the following:

[root@node1 ~]# ifconfig -a
docker0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

When network settings is reverted to the original for Management Network, your VM shows the following:

[root@node1 ~]# ifconfig -a
docker0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.17.255.255

and it’s reachable back again.

You need to review standard installation procedures of platforms such as Docker, Kubernetes, OpenStack and consider changes for the Management Network of your slivers.
