Per-Site Inventory

Per-node hardware inventory for Site A and Site B: model, board, RAM, onboard NICs, add-in NICs, boot drive, IPMI, and primary role.

Physical hardware inventory for every node at both sites. Each entry covers the host's chassis model, board (where specified), RAM, onboard NIC layout, add-in NIC, boot drive, IPMI, and primary role. For pool-level details see NIC Allocation and RAM & Storage Allocation.

Site A

Site A hosts four physical Proxmox nodes on 10.10.0.0/16: an edge appliance, two ThinkPad workers, and a large storage/infra server.

ThinkPads (sa-cmp-01, sa-cmp-02) use laptop-grade RAM incompatible with the DDR4 ECC RDIMM pool. Exact ThinkPad RAM capacity is unspecified in current sources.

sa-stor-01: AQC107 Not Suitable for Critical Traffic

The onboard Aquantia AQC107 (atlantic driver) on sa-stor-01 is historically unstable under Linux/Proxmox. Do not use it for Proxmox management or Corosync. Management runs on the Intel i210 (1GbE, red RJ45); Corosync runs tagged on the XL710 add-in card. The AQC107 is reserved for non-critical data or left unused.

Site B

Site B hosts six physical Proxmox nodes on 10.20.0.0/16: an edge appliance and five 1U Supermicro servers dedicated to Ceph and Kubernetes/OpenShift.

FN8TP Onboard NIC Layout: Verify Before Cabling

The sb-cmp-01 / sb-cmp-02 (SYS-5019D-4C-FN8TP) onboard NIC layout (2×10GBASE-T, 2×10G SFP+, 4×1GbE) is listed as confirmed in CLAUDE.md (2026-06-06) but remains flagged as assumed in vault/homelab_hardware_by_site.md from the same date. Verify against physical hardware before finalizing port-map cabling. The FN4T layout (2×10GBASE-T, 2×1GbE) is confirmed in both sources.

Site B NIC Port Assignment

The X710-T4 four-port card follows this VLAN assignment on all Site B nodes (FN8TP and FN4T):

X710-T4 PortVLAN Assignment
p130 VM Services
p240 / 50 Kubernetes Nodes / K8s LB
p360 Storage / Ceph public
p490 Backup / Replication

Onboard 1G #1 carries 20 Proxmox Management; onboard 1G #2 carries 25 Corosync heartbeat (dedicated, no GW); onboard 10GBASE-T carries 65 Ceph cluster (no GW). IPMI connects to sb-sw-02 on VLAN 10.
