Got me a little over 4 years of service
4 years is not too bad. Server is actually shut off.
All of the C7 VMs on it were converted to R9
So it is running.
Officially got 10 production machines (3 cloud, 3 on other ESXi host and 4 physical) still on C7.
Still need to make sure things can be powered on, monitors are correct etc.
But I did patch a bunch with ansible today.
Need to do a full power off test.

Wanted to migrate the harder servers out of the way first. The most important server is done.
Now moving other servers in order of importance.
There are 6 VMs left, it is reasonable to do 3 a day, after this one it looks to get much easier.
Heck there is an outside chance I can finish them all tomorrow.
If that is the case, I can spend Sunday consolidating.

Falling behind on my Rocky 9 upgrades. Recall my goal was to get all machines off of my old ESXi host by rebuilding them on my new ESXi host as Rocky 9 boxes.
Been struggling with getting a VM to do macvlan docker network. Forgot you have to change certain security parameters
Allow promiscuous mode: Yes
Allow forged transmits: Yes
Allow MAC changes: No
Hopefully no more bottlenecks.
Tomorrow going live with an important server.

I thought I been sleeping OK but fitbit says I am restless.
I agree, needed couple of naps today.

Anyway goal is still there.

Air quality is bad,
It is making my breathing bad.
On the IT front, I updated my build processes to Rocky 9.2 for both the server and MATE desktop builds.
So things are on hold a bit.
But I did figure out how to embed a binary file like a tar ball into a bash script to be reconstituted when run.

Got 12k steps and 10 floors today, but it also got a bunch of household chores done.
Got only 1 machine upgraded to Rocky 9 but I did clean the cars with a new pressure washer.
Kind of tired, got half my steps done at park run and met a sales person for brooks. She confirmed my hat is a brooks hat.

I got a few more machines to upgrade to Rocky 9. Focused on getting machines off of my old ESXi box so I can power it off.
On that ESXi host I have 8 machines left and the are all CentOS 7, no windows, no Rocky 8, all C7.
Forgot to mention yesterday my knee hurt walking, so taking some time to rest today.

First time I walked to get my steps in Bellevue. I was already apssed, around 6300 so I did not need more than half.
Was a nice walk, took it easy, but I did get some hills.
Need to work on a plan though.

Today I finally saw a bunch of coworkers at a company sponsored picnic.
It was too hot to do much of anything though. We kind of just chatted with each other.
Was fun.
I don’t believe the scale but it is what it is.
