Runbook — provisioning a customer guest (operator notes)
Operational guardrails for
--selftest=provision/ bring-up on a Felhom host. The mechanics live infelhom-agent(RUNBOOK-provisioning-storage.md + the selftest flags); this runbook records the operator-side decisions those mechanics assume.
Picking the provision -vmid (F3 — campaign pool-effects)
Pick the vmid from the host's FULL guest list, never from the hub inventory.
On the node, as root:
pct list; qm list
Why this is load-bearing (CAMPAIGN-pool-effects-2026-07-01, F3): the agent's token is pool-scoped, so
the hub's per-host guest inventory contains ONLY the Felhom-pool guests. On a shared box (the
colleague's-box model), other guests — another customer's, spike/golden/scratch guests — are invisible
in the hub view, and there is deliberately NO automatic vmid assignment anywhere (agent or hub): the
operator-supplied -vmid is the only source. A vmid picked from the hub view can therefore collide
with an existing, hub-invisible guest.
What happens on a collision (belt-and-suspenders, agent >= v0.60.0): PVE refuses the restore
("CT already exists"), the agent arms NO destroy (proof-of-launch gating — it never destroys a
guest the transaction didn't create), and the provision fails cleanly. So a collision is safe — but it
is still a failed provision and an ERROR in the logs; pick from pct list + qm list and it never
happens.
Reserved — never provision on these (the agent refuses them):
9999— standing selftest scratch990000–990009— restore-test scratch band, reserved fleet-wide on every Felhom host: a foreign guest parked in this band forces the self-restore-test to advance around it (agent >= v0.60.0) and, if the band fills, to skip entirely.
