Add Proxmox with macOS integration for Dell R730 ORION deployment
Integrate OSX-PROXMOX capabilities with Dell PowerEdge R730 CQ5QBM2 ORION
router deployment, creating a unified platform for high-performance routing,
macOS virtualization, and development workloads.
New Features:
- Complete integration documentation (DELL_R730_ORION_PROXMOX_INTEGRATION.md)
- Quick start guide (ORION_QUICKSTART.md)
- Automated deployment script (deploy-orion.sh)
- Hardware configuration template (orion-config.json)
Monitoring & Automation:
- Gateway health monitor (Telus BGP gateways)
- BGP session monitor (router VM)
- VM watchdog (auto-restart critical VMs)
- Performance tuning (network, CPU, memory optimization)
Systemd Services:
- orion-gateway-monitor.service - Monitor Telus gateway connectivity
- orion-bgp-monitor.service - Monitor BGP session status
- orion-vm-watchdog.service - Ensure critical VMs stay running
- orion-performance-tuning.service - Boot-time performance optimization
Deployment Architecture:
- Proxmox VE 8.4.x as hypervisor
- VM 200: ORION-Router (pfSense with BGP)
- VM 100: macOS Sequoia with OpenCore 1.0.4
- 4 network bridges (WAN, LAN, macOS, Storage)
- Resource allocation: 56 cores, 384GB RAM, 8x NICs
Hardware Support:
- Dell PowerEdge R730 (Service Tag: CQ5QBM2)
- 2x Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 (28 cores, 56 threads)
- 384GB DDR4-2400 RAM
- 8x Network Interfaces (4x10GbE + 2x1GbE + 2x10GbE)
- PERC H730 Mini RAID Controller
Network Configuration:
- vmbr0: WAN (eno3) - Telus Fiber connection
- vmbr1: LAN (eno4) - Internal network (192.168.100.0/24)
- vmbr2: macOS (eno5) - Dedicated 10GbE for macOS VMs
- vmbr3: Storage (eno6) - Storage network
Telus BGP Configuration:
- Local AS: 394955
- Remote AS: 6939 (Hurricane Electric)
- Gateways: 206.75.1.127, 206.75.1.47, 206.75.1.48
- IPv6 Prefix: 2602:F674::/48
This integration enables running macOS VMs alongside high-performance
routing on the same Dell R730 server, consolidating infrastructure
while maintaining full routing and virtualization capabilities.
