Fabric APIv4, Connection to azure, Technical background vlanSTag in zSide
Hello, I'd like to configure a redundant connection to Azure using dot1q encapsulation. The documentation for migration from v3 to v4 states that we need to include "linkProtocol": { "type": "QINQ", "vlanSTag": 2002 }, in the zSide definition. That was not necessary in the v3 API. I'm not sure what the technical background for that value is. Specifically: Can we always use the same VLAN ID in connections to different Azure environments when using unique VLAN IDs on the aSide? Any help is appreciated.
Crossplane - Metal Vlan description not updated in UI
When editing an existing Metal Vlan resource's spec to add a description, the string is applied to the managed resource but is not updated in the UI. If the description is included in the original Vlan resource spec during creation, the UI shows the description. apiVersion: metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1 kind: Vlan metadata: name: myvlan1 spec: forProvider: description: | Dummy native VLAN for purposes of enabling tagging on the trunk port. projectId: <uuid> metro: sv If the spec.forProvider.description is left out during the creation, then editing the resource and applying the change will not cause the description to show up in the UI. I'm not sure if this is expected or not.Crossplane - failure to delete port resource in Claim
I have created a Claim that includes a Device, Port, PortVlanAttachment and a Vlan. In order to create the Port I have to pass the Device Eth1 port UUID to the 'spec.forProvider.portId' of the Port Kind. This works and picks up the vlan info, but upon deleting the claim, the port is not deleted automatically as expected. The following event messages can be seen: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 8s (x10 over 6m27s) managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=port cannot run refresh: refresh failed: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Conflicting configuration arguments: "vxlan_ids": conflicts with vlan_ids The spec of the object looks like this: Spec: Deletion Policy: Delete For Provider: Bonded: false Port Id: b561e487-fbb0-4a2c-98e7-22da331ed316 Vlan Ids: 73f648b5-9b6b-4076-a6ab-673aa45c7152 Vxlan Ids: 1000 Provider Config Ref: Name: default In order to resolve the issue I need to manually delete the resources finalizer.Crossplane Metal provider - lifecycle.prevent_destroy error
After I spin up a Metal Device using the Crossplane Equinix provider, it comes up but in the events I see the following. I'm not sure if it is expected or a bug? Managed resource event message: Events: Type Reason Age From Message ---- ------ ---- ---- ------- Normal CreatedExternalResource 3m7s managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=device Successfully requested creation of external resource Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 13s (x6 over 30s) managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=device cannot run plan: plan failed: Instance cannot be destroyed: Resource equinix_metal_device.my-gateway-sv-4x2x4-4gfpq has lifecycle.prevent_destroy set, but the plan calls for this resource to be destroyed. To avoid this error and continue with the plan, either disable lifecycle.prevent_destroy or reduce the scope of the plan using the -target flag. Field in XRD for plan is: "plan: m3.small.x86" Environment: Crossplane v1.16 Equinix Provider: v0.6.1 K8s: Kind 1.27
