Re: nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

Been digging, and found a perfect combo for this. And this could work for alot of physical formats (m.2 u.2 u.3 and ruler drives) https://dgway.com/NVMeTCP-IP_A_E.html Basically nvme to 25Gig ethernet in a fpga. Wirespeed. Add a pci express switch, and support commands in routeros, and be fantastic....

Re: nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

Note, its over TCP not RDMA. So the timing is not so "deterministic". Also generally the "protocol" conversion is done in hardware - so the only "software" is setup/provisioning/teardown. Chip that connects to switch (25Gig) and creates a PCI-express bus(nvme). One per ...

Switch for POE Based Lighting.

Im in the process of looking at new home design, and POE based lighting. Looks like the closest current product is: NetPower_16 Ideally wall mount version, greater ports would be nice. Most important is Poe+, and lots of current. I would expect to power these directly from battery, with feed from so...

Re: nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

Some examples: https://github.com/ceph/ceph-nvmeof https://openinfradays.kr/2020/files/track3/track3-1.pdf Note, I would think there would be alot of interest in the Ceph community, and also fits the diagregation of storage. Common problem I find in our environments is elastic search running in cont...

Re: nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

Hardware Phase 1 - A box of 4 m.2 drives with a 10 or 25Gig ethernet, routeros, a switch, and a upper range arm and memory Phase 2 - A 1U chassis with ruler drives or other high capaciy and 25g/100g and multiple Software Phase 1 - Export Volume via NVMEof (Will go thru datasheet if you wish) and pro...

Re: nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

So Mikrotik should try to get into the market of enterprise storage now ? Isn't that quite a saturated market by now. Isnt networking and access point saturated? Actually there is a "hole", in existing nas - and storage has moved into "TCP", so networking and storage is merging....

nvmeOf - NVME over TCP

With MikroTik moving to higher speed interfaces, I would love to see nvmeOf/Nvme Over TCP incorporated.
Even better if you have a "router" box with a butch of nvme slots.
Happy to help if needed on software or hardware.

Allocate IP address from pool

I am writing a script to precreate all assets for a vm. One of those is a pre-allocated static dhcp address. Is there a scripted way or single command to give me a address from RouterOS command line? ie allocate a ip address out of a pool. I know how to create a static entry, but prefer to use a exi...

hostname dhcp server

I routinely pxeboot/kickstart machines. one of the important parts is hostname. I cannot find a example of setting host name using cli, and the option is not in the webfig.
