vh 969a1b64a2 runbook: FV site dark 2026-09-13 — outage facts, blast radius, staged recovery, OOB design gap
Written while the site is down so recovery does not have to be reconstructed later.
Records what was measured rather than what is suspected: every FV address including
the BMC is unreachable while all three other sites answer, the campaign's last log
line was off_A rep 2 at 06:56:04Z, and the site was dark by 06:58:40Z.

Names three candidate causes with the evidence that would distinguish them, because
the instrument that could have settled it -- the per-card power log -- died with the
box. The two-card-load hypothesis fits the timing and the two prior Anaheim breaker
trips on this same chassis, but it is circumstantial and is recorded as such.

Carries the recovery hazard that matters: every seat on the box is
restart:unless-stopped, so resetting power alone brings ten vLLM containers up
loading at once -- the largest transient the box can produce, into a circuit that may
have just tripped. Staged sequence given, gen first and flash-next last.

Also records the OOB gap the outage exposes: OPNsense-as-subnet-router protects
against box-down/gateway-up, and not at all against the site-wide loss that actually
happened, because the BMC's only path out is through that same gateway.

Navigation map for the documentation tree. New session? Read orientation.md first — it's the narrative overview of the fleet, backup architecture, governing principles, and gotchas, and it points at everything else.

What goes where

  • runbooks/ — step-by-step ops procedures. Anything you'd reach for during an incident or while standing up new infrastructure. Examples: disaster recovery (blast-radius tiers + restoration steps), PBS deployment (9-phase rollout). New runbook → new file here.
  • pfi/ — PFI-specific reference material that's too narrow for the top-level CLAUDE.md but doesn't change incident response. AI model inventory, recommended inference settings, Matrix bridge config, Proxmox VM map. New stable reference → new file here.
  • Top-level (docs/orientation.md, docs/README.md) — narrative guides about the workspace itself, not about specific infra.

Cross-references

  • Fleet topology + servers table: top-level CLAUDE.md.
  • Open work + recent milestones: top-level STATUS.md.
  • Durable cross-session facts: ~/.claude/projects/-home-lkraven-development-eshpfi-management/memory/.

Conventions

  • Markdown, GitHub-flavored. CommonMark renders fine in most viewers.
  • File names are lowercase-kebab-case, descriptive. No dates in filenames — git history covers that.
  • One topic per file. If a file grows past ~500 lines, look for a natural split before adding more.
  • No checked-in binaries or checksums. Build/release artifacts belong in a build pipeline or tools/, not docs/.
