Lab Node Identity Survey Evidence
Date: 2026-06-20
Timezone: America/St_Johns
Scope
Ran read-only identity checks against visible lab hosts to reduce the dormant
future Proxmox-node blocker. This did not mutate production CT 121, sandbox
CT 126, DNS, TLS, firewall, routes, Proxmox cluster membership, storage,
snapshots, containers, VMs, or device filesystems.
Proxmox Cluster Identity
Observed pvesh get /cluster/status from the HomeLab cluster:
| Node | Address | Online | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
Director |
10.0.0.250 |
yes | Current Proxmox host used for UAI Explorer CT 121 and sandbox CT 126. |
echo |
10.0.0.249 |
yes | Online Proxmox cluster node. |
forge |
10.0.0.248 |
yes | Online Proxmox cluster node hosting CTs 103, 105, and 108. |
The current visible HomeLab cluster has three online nodes. This evidence does not identify a fourth dormant/future node.
Host Classification
| Address | Hostname | Read-Only Signal | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
10.0.0.103 |
engineering |
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, systemd-detect-virt=lxc, no pveversion. |
LXC guest on forge; lab jump host, not bare-metal dormant node. |
10.0.0.105 |
wow-weekend |
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, systemd-detect-virt=lxc, no pveversion. |
LXC guest on forge; not classified as UAI Explorer survey target. |
10.0.0.108 |
satisfactory |
Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, systemd-detect-virt=lxc, no pveversion. |
LXC guest on forge; not classified as UAI Explorer survey target. |
10.0.0.248 |
forge |
Debian 13, virt=none, pve-manager/9.0.3. |
Online Proxmox cluster node. |
10.0.0.249 |
echo |
Debian 13, virt=none, pve-manager/9.0.3. |
Online Proxmox cluster node. |
10.0.0.250 |
Director |
Debian 13, virt=none, pve-manager/9.1.4. |
Online Proxmox cluster node and current UAI Explorer host. |
10.0.0.253 |
pihole |
CT 253 on Director, Debian 12, IP 10.0.0.253. Direct root BatchMode was denied. |
Infrastructure container, not dormant bare-metal node. |
10.0.0.107 |
last known zenbook-14 |
Current checks show no local ARP entry, failed neighbor state from engineering and Director, 100% ICMP loss, and no TCP/22 route. |
Historical reachability note only; Zenbook is closed for UAI Explorer survey scope. |
Container And VM Readout
forge:
- CT
103:engineering, running. - CT
105:wow-weekend, running. - CT
108:satisfactory, running. - No QEMU VMs were listed.
echo:
- No CTs or QEMU VMs were listed by the read-only checks.
Director:
- CTs listed:
104,115,116,117,121,123,124,125,126, and253. - No QEMU VMs were listed.
- CT

Storage Signals
forge:
local: 46.25% used.local-lvm: 63.10% used.
echo:
local: 83.92% used.local-lvm: 0.00% used.
Director storage details remain recorded in
[REDACTED:high-entropy].md.
Result
The dormant future Proxmox-node blocker is narrowed but not cleared:
- The online HomeLab cluster nodes are now identified as
Director,echo, andforge. - The visible guests and infrastructure service are classified.
- No authoritative hostname or IP for the separate dormant/future node was found.
- The dormant/future node still needs operator confirmation while powered on, followed by a metadata-only documentation survey before cluster join, disk reuse, or cleanup.
