PROXMOX Setup Weirdness Observed

1. Most of the time gui setup didn't get dhcp address from my server, one time in 6 installs it did.
2. Sometimes gui setup populated an example IPv4 address, sometimes an actual IPv6 address and one time real DCHP IPv4 address
3. on one node in 6 installs it added a thunderbol0 entry to /etc/network/interaces resulting in what you see below, the fix was to remove from interfaces file

4. sometimes after setup the tunderbolt modules load and sometimes they don't - i don't know why, i currently have 1 machine with them specified in /etc/modules file and 2 machines without - i figured out this is (stupidly) by design, one machine in the cluster needs to manually have the the modules loaded (but this will cause other machines to load them on the fly) as such its best to define them on all nodes.

5. on node 3 i accidentally gave

Thunderbolt Networking

Install LLDP - this is great to see what nodes can see which.

• install lldpctl with apt install lldpd

Load Kernel Modules

• add thunderbolt and thunderbolt-net kernel modules (this must be done all nodes - yes i know it can sometimes work withoutm but the thuderbolt-net one has interesting behaviou' so do as i say - add both ;-)
  1. nano /etc/modules add modules at bottom of file, one on each line
  2. save using x then y then enter
