The box is physically at Fountain Valley, renamed, renumbered onto 10.251/16,
and serving inference again. This lands the repo half of that.
Host: hostname ana-ml2 -> fv-ml1, pinned to 10.251.50.54 by a dnsmasq
reservation so the address the runbook, DNS and LiteLLM all assume is the
address it actually has. Its headscale node is renamed too.
The sweep ran from scripts/fv-ml1-rename-sweep.sh, whose allowlist is the
reason this diff touches current-state files and not the record. Dated
persistent-memory entries, archival-memory and incident notes still say
ana-ml2 in 31 and 62 places respectively, because that is what the box was
when those things happened. Rewriting them would make the history lie.
LiteLLM was the load-bearing piece and needed more than the api_base sed the
runbook describes. Twenty api_base entries repointed, but a grep-and-verify
pass also caught a LIVE pass_through_endpoints target for the scalar-judge
reward route still on the old address -- an api_base-only substitution would
have left it dead. Four prose references describing current state were
repointed as well; one historical note recording where a hand-test was run
is deliberately left pointing at 10.250.50.54.
Two facts in the server tables were wrong and are corrected here. The site is
Fountain Valley, not Anaheim. And the box has FOUR RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell
Max-Q, not two -- verified by nvidia-smi -L and independently by PCI
enumeration of four GB202GL devices. That is 391 GB of VRAM rather than 196,
which changes what fits on it.
DNS: fv-ml1, fv-ml1-bmc and fv-gw added under the fv site via the piggyback
approach, scriberr re-homed, and the ana-ml2 records removed. Applied to all
three resolvers. The BMC record carries a warning that its 802.1q VLAN tag
must stay disabled -- it shipped tagging VLAN 250 into an untagged port,
which made it invisible to every network-side diagnostic and is the reason
it appeared dead through several cable changes.
Verified end to end: summarizer and sec both answer through the Anaheim
gateway across the mesh to FV seats on different ports.
Two related changes shipped together. The stack rename is independent
but adding `vllm-reward` to the existing `vllm-qwen3` would have made
that name actively misleading.
**Rename:** `stacks/vllm-qwen3/ → stacks/vllm/`. Updated all in-repo
references (README.md root, servers/ana-ml2/, stacks/llama-swap/,
configs/restic/ana-ml2/, docs/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md). Two
intentional history mentions retained (servers/ana-ml2 + stacks/vllm
README).
**Add `vllm-reward` service:** serves Skywork-Reward-V2-Llama-3.1-8B-AWQ
on port 8003. The AWQ output is a locally-quantized model (not from HF),
so bind-mounts `/tank/aimodels/llm:/local-models:ro` rather than the
shared HF cache. Model config.json declares LlamaForSequenceClassification
which vLLM's pooling runner picks up automatically — produces a single
reward score per input via /classify.
**Flag note:** the user's spec listed `--task classify`, but vLLM 0.19.1
deprecated --task in favor of --runner pooling (model architecture in
config.json drives the classification head). Compose uses --runner
pooling with a comment explaining the substitution.
**GPU memory:** no rebalance needed — production had already tuned
EMBED/RERANK down from 0.40 to 0.20 each (canonical .env.example now
matches reality). Adding REWARD at 0.30 totals 0.70, leaving ~14 GB
headroom on the 48 GB Ada.
**Server-side:** brought existing vllm-qwen3 down, mv'd
/opt/docker/compose/vllm-qwen3 → /opt/docker/compose/vllm, appended
REWARD_* lines to existing .env (preserving API_KEY/HF_TOKEN), deployed
new compose via scripts/deploy-stack.sh, brought all 3 services up.
**Smoke tests:**
- /health on 8001/8002/8003 → 200
- /v1/models on 8003 → lists Skywork/Skywork-Reward-V2-Llama-3.1-8B-AWQ
with max_model_len 16384
- /classify with a sample conversation → returns LABEL_0 with prob 0.9999
(single-output regression-style reward score, expected shape for a
reward model)
Bundles the post-2026-04-21 work that built out the two-layer backup
architecture (PBS for VM images + restic for file/DB), plus the cross-
site mirror and the disaster-recovery runbook.
- configs/restic/esh-docker-vm/profiles.yaml: drop the obsolete
*_offen_backup_data exclude (offen sidecars retired fleet-wide
2026-04-23; restic now covers the equivalent scope directly).
- configs/restic/esh-vm-db/: new profile for the dedicated DB VM
(10.0.50.60), with pre-backup pg_dumpall + mongodump hooks.
- configs/rsync/: ana-nas → nh3-nas (04:00 daily, runs as lkraven)
and nh3-nas → ana-nas (05:00 daily, runs as root because DSM
rest-server-nh3 writes mode-400 files only root can read).
- docs/runbooks/pbs-deployment.md: 9-phase PBS rollout runbook,
refined during the 2026-04-22 deployment with per-hypervisor
namespaces, NFSv3 + ZFS-case-insensitivity workaround, and the
Synology syno_acl flatten step.
- docs/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md: blast-radius runbook ordered
Tier 0 → 5 (ana-nas → hypervisors → Docker hosts → VMs → specialty);
references incident memory + recovery-step playbooks per consumer.
