Misc: Installed some new tail lights from Hansshow on my Tesla Model 3


Summary:

As a little treat for myself, I bought some real cool aftermarket tail lights from Hansshow as you can see from the video above.  Use coupon code "SARHANSSHOW" for 15% off.  I don't get a cut of any kind, but I like sharing.  Anyway, here is a wiring diagram I drew up to show how everything logically needs to be wired.  

If you want to support me and posts like this, you can order Tesla products via my referral link.  Honestly, their referral program these days is kinda lame in my opinion, but hey, you get something and I get something out of it.

Notes:

For euro spec may be slightly different and 2021 models would use a 4-pin Adapter instead of a 3-pin adapter which is US specific and applies for 2020 models and older.  Basically, if you have a red turn signal, chances are that you have a 3-pin setup.

The only downside to these lights in older models is that the turn signal indicators light up in addition to a separate red brake light on these (Amber and Red).  Not a deal breaker for me, but something to keep in mind.  Otherwise, they work perfectly.

New Tail lights installed. Loving how these look. : TeslaModel3 (reddit.com) < Reddit Post where lots of good questions are answered.

NSX-T: vCenter and NSX-T Inventory out of Sync (Hosts in vSphere not showing up in NSX-T)

Image
Summary: NSX-T loses synch w/ vCenter inventory, but statuses don't appear to show an issue.  Basically, you add a host to a vCenter cluster, NSX-T bits should start to automatically installing on new host.  Assuming you've created a Transport Node Profile and associated w/ the cluster.  The problem is that NSX-T doesn't see the new host and its link to the compute manager (vCenter) looks fine. Looks fine, Y U NO WORK!? So what's going on here?  This appears to affect NSX-T 2.5 and 2.5.1.  Cause is unknown. Workaround: Restart the cm-inventory service on each NSX-T mgmt/controller node using API or CLI. Details: If you were to query the status of the cm-inventory via API or CLI, you could query all 3 manager/controller nodes and get a status of running.  Even if the primary node associated w/ the VIP, if configured, is not necessarily in charge of inventory.  So you could restart the cm-inventory service till you are blue in the face and get nowhere be

MacOS: AnyConnect VPN client was unable to successfully verify the IP forwarding table modifications.

The VPN client was unable to successfully verify the IP forwarding table modification.  A VPN connection will not be established. Summary: I started running into issue utilizing Cisco AnyConnect on my Mac basically complaining about not able to overwrite IP forwarding tables.  This was on 4.6.x.  Since my VPN endpoints were not providing me w/ an updated client and w/ no access to Cisco Anyconnect downloads, my only option was to try openconnect.  It was totally worth it, here is why and how to set it up. PreReqs: Homebrew Installing OpenConnect: Launch MacOS Terminal brew install openconnect Getting VPN IP's/DNS Endpoints from AnyConnect: The information is typically located in your profile xml files located here: /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/somethingsomething.xml In the xml file, you are looking for "<HostAddress>typicallyaDNSName.com</HostAddress>" entry.  These are your VPN endpoints that you would need to pass to openconnect.

Azure VMware Solution: NSX-T Active/Active T0 Edges...but

Image
Summary: Azure VMware Solution (AVS) delivers by default w/ a pair of redundant Large NSX-T Edge VM's each running a T0 in active/active mode.  So why is my traffic only going out one Edge VM? Short answer: The default T1 that is delivered w/ AVS is an active/passive T1 where you connect your workloads to.  So while it could technically take either T0, it's always going to go out the closest T0 to the active "SR" T1.  Where do the SR's live?  You guessed it, on the Edge VM's.  As you can imagine, this can lead to a bottleneck if you try to shove all your traffic through a single Edge VM. Simple Diagram: Longer answer with Options:
