Seems Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro Dual Port 10G SFP+ Low Profile MCX312C-XCCT is decent choice, which I can use for 10gb triangle between the current 3 nodes. I was thinking of using jetkvm + rs-232 expansion serial cable with 4-port hdmi/usb switcher for controlling the nodes. Financially, a future expansion would be moving from the triangle to a 10gb switch, allowing for NAS or other node additions. Also, each node has an empty Sata SSD port currently. Updated the forum thread.
Cool, have you tried using it with multiple devices on an hdmi switch?
I thought I listed it in the description, but this is something I’m actively wondering about. A KVM over IP, such as PiKVM, Jetkvm, openkvm that allows access to all 3 nodes and saves future drives to the data center by using a wireguard connection instead. PiKVM + HDMI and USB switch is an option. Recommended option from PiKVM docs is https://www.easycoolav.com/products/ezcoo-hdmi-20-switch-4x1-with-usb-30-kvm-4-port-hdmi-switch-for-4k60hz-hdr-and-audio-breakout
It is currently unreleased; sent a ping to check in on it. https://discuss.livingcartoon.org/d/96-pixel-artwork-tools
Example setup:
How would you manage this in a somewhat seamless manner?
Are you using it with an HDMI + USB switch or similar?
