virtualization - Routing single v6 /64 range to virtual machines

I am building a virtualisation host, and I want my virtual machines to be available via both v4 and v6 IP address.

The host I have (Xen 4.1.3 with Debian Wheezy in dom0) has one physical eth0 interface:

10.0.0.2/30 dev eth0

default via 10.0.0.1
2000:1111:1111:11111::2/64 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111::1 (aka fe80::1)

My ISP has assigned me a 10.100.0.0/28 IPv4 range, statically routed via 10.0.0.2.

On the host, I have built xenbr0 virtual bridge interface:

10.100.0.1/28 dev xenbr0

On each guest VM, I set any of unused addresses from 10.100.0.0/28, i.e:

10.100.0.2/28 dev eth0
default via 10.100.0.1

As expected (since host acts like a classic router), VM's are able to talk to the v4 internet without a hitch.

That's where my lack of experience with IPv6 kick in. From my understanding v6 addresses are routed pretty much the same like their v4 counterparts, which means that what I want to accomplish is impossible with only one /64 range (at least while eth0 & v6 gw are configured the way they are).

Is it possible to make use of a single IPv6 /64 range, so that VMs can have static IPv6 addresses, without having to go and ask my ISP for another /64 range that (I guess) would have to be statically routed via 2000:1111:1111:11111::2?

I tried to "split" this /64 network in two /65 networks, then reconfigure xenbr0 like this:

2000:1111:1111:11111:8000:2/65 dev xenbr0

Also, eth0 was reconfigured (only network size has changed from 64 to 65):

2000:1111:1111:11111::2/65 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111::1

Host did not loose IPv6 connectivity. However, guest VMs were unable to contact anything outside of host when configured like this:

2000:1111:1111:11111:8000::2/65 dev eth0
default via 2000:1111:1111:11111:8000::1

Any ideas on how to proceed?

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
