linux - IPv6 prefix management

So, my SiXXS' POP seems to be in trouble and I was
thinking in changing to HE. The idea is connect to HE, change radvd setup and... lots of
other
thinks:




  • UFW,
    specially in laptops, which only allows access to some development services from some
    RFC1918 addresses and to my global IPV6 addresses


  • My servers have fixed IPv6 addresses
    to easily DNS setup



  • Some
    software needs some type of reference to the "local" addresses in setup (like squid acls
    or libvirt
    networks)


  • etc.




So
my question is: what is the best way to deal with this?, let's suppose that tomorrow I
need to change my tunnel broker, or for whatever reason I need to change my prefix and
use another provider as a backup, do I really need to review all my setup? The only
solution I can think of is ULAs and NAT which I dislike (or ULAs plus global addresses
but I think this setup is not recommended)



(A
possible solution if I understand correctly would be Mobile IPv6, but is this really an
option today?, how many providers work with
it?)



Summarizing: what options do I have to
simplify the administrative task of changing IPv6 prefix of a
network?




UPDATE



Thank
you very much for your answers but I think that I have left some things unexplained that
are important for this question: href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Default_address_selection"
rel="nofollow
noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#Default_address_selection
gives a table of the selection preference in case you have more than one address. As
both SiXXS and HE use 2001:: prefixes, this means that (if I read the table correctly)
the global addresses will always be selected and never the ULAs. So if I setup squid to
limit access based on ULAs, it will not work because all clients will identify
themselves with the global address. There's another href="https://serverfault.com/questions/349950/ipv6-without-nat-but-what-about-an-isp-change">question
about the same issue but the answer, using both ULAs and global addresses works because
the public prefix is 2000:: in this case.



I am
right?, or I'm wrong about address preference?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

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, ...
