dohertj2 14cc4faa28 Delete the Plex VM disks 
Completes section 9 step 3. govc vm.destroy Plex removed the inventory
entry and the [NVME_1] Plex/ folder; datastore free space went
1,619.8 -> 1,756.1 GB (+136.3 GB). 10.100.0.24 / 10.50.0.31 and MACs
00:0c:29:4a:ef:3d / 00:0c:29:4a:ef:47 are now free for reuse.

Done on 2026-09-17 rather than the planned ~2026-10-15. Checking the
plan's own Veeam precondition inverted its assumption: the Backup VMs
job has EnableDeletedVmDataRetention set to False with Simple retention
of 7 restore points, so a VM removed from the job has its points pruned
as the remaining VMs roll the chain - Plex's are due to age out around
2026-09-24, about three weeks before the disks were scheduled for
deletion. Deleting while a good restore point still existed (2026-09-17
03:01, consistent) was safer than deleting later with none.

Recovery position is now: Veeam image restore until ~2026-09-24, then
only the pre-migration library DB at
/mnt/share/backups/plex-migration-2026-09-16/, which rebuilds a Plex
install but not the VM.

veeam.md gains the retention gotcha, since it applies to any future
decommission and the 30-day DeletedVmsDataRetentionPeriodDays value is
misleading while the toggle is off.

Also flags in esxi.md that its VM tables are incomplete: the host has 10
VMs, WW_DEV_VM / Rockwell_Win10 / TCBSD are absent, and DevVM is powered
off rather than on. Left the tables themselves alone as out of scope.

# ESXi Host
## Access
- **IP**: 10.2.0.12 (VLAN 0 / DEFAULT, management)
- **Version**: VMware ESXi 8.0.3 build-24280767 (Update 3, Patch 35)
- **Credentials**: govc / `Tn9.xKw-m4Vp` (Administrator role)
- **API access via govc**:
```bash
GOVC_URL=https://10.2.0.12/sdk GOVC_USERNAME=govc GOVC_PASSWORD='Tn9.xKw-m4Vp' GOVC_INSECURE=true govc <command>
```
- **Do NOT use SSH** — ESXi keyboard-interactive auth is unreliable from this machine; use `govc` exclusively
- **Hardware**: HP, 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 (36 logical CPUs @ 2.3GHz), 256GB RAM
- **Boot time**: 2025-09-22
## Physical NICs
| NIC | Driver | Speed | Link | MTU | MAC | Description |
|-----|--------|-------|------|-----|-----|-------------|
| vmnic0 | igbn | — | **Down** | 1500 | ec:b1:d7:82:3b:40 | Intel 1Gb 2-port 361i |
| vmnic2 | ixgben | — | **Down** (admin down) | 1500 | 48:df:37:07:a9:6c | Intel 82599 10GbE |
| vmnic3 | ixgben | 10 Gbps | Up | 1500 | 48:df:37:07:a9:6d | Intel 82599 10GbE |
| vmnic4 | nmlx5_core | 25 Gbps | Up | 1500 | b8:83:03:60:e4:e0 | Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx |
| vmnic5 | nmlx5_core | 25 Gbps | Up | 9000 | b8:83:03:60:e4:e1 | Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx |
**Active uplinks**: vmnic3 (unused — no vSwitch), vmnic4 (vSwitch0), vmnic5 (jumboFrameSwitch)
## vSwitches
### vSwitch0 (vmnic4 — 25Gbps Mellanox, MTU 1500)
Carries VLAN-tagged traffic for management, LAN, IoT, and guest networks.
| Port Group | VLAN ID | Active Ports | Subnet |
|------------|---------|--------------|--------|
| DEFAULT_0 | 0 (untagged) | 1 | 10.2.0.0/24 (ESXi mgmt) |
| MGMT_1 | 0 (untagged) | 0 | — |
| GUEST_3 | 3 | 0 | — |
| LAN_100 | 100 | 6 | 10.100.0.0/24 |
| IOT_200 | 200 | 1 | 10.200.0.0/24 |
### jumboFrameSwitch (vmnic5 — 25Gbps Mellanox, MTU 9000)
Dedicated storage network with jumbo frames. Switch port 32 is configured as a trunk (`forward=all`, MGMT native) so VLAN 50 frames arrive tagged, matching the DATA_50 port group's VLAN ID.
| Port Group | VLAN ID | Active Ports | Subnet |
|------------|---------|--------------|--------|
| DATA_50 | 50 | 3 | 10.50.0.0/24 |
All port groups: promiscuous mode=No, forged transmits=No, MAC changes=No.
## VMkernel Interface
| Interface | IP | Netmask | Portgroup | MAC | Stack |
|-----------|-----|---------|-----------|-----|-------|
| vmk0 | 10.2.0.12 | 255.255.255.0 | DEFAULT_0 | 48:df:37:07:a9:6d | defaultTcpipStack |
- **Default gateway**: 10.2.0.1
- **DNS search**: localdomain (no DNS servers configured)
## Virtual Machines
> **Plex was deleted 2026-09-17** (migrated to a container on DOCKER; see [plex-docker-migration.md](plex-docker-migration.md) §9). Its former addresses 10.100.0.24 / 10.50.0.31 and MACs `00:0c:29:4a:ef:3d` / `00:0c:29:4a:ef:47` are released and free for reuse.
>
> **These tables are incomplete.** The host actually has 10 VMs; `WW_DEV_VM` (see [ww.md](ww.md)), `Rockwell_Win10` and `TCBSD` are not listed below, and `DevVM` is currently powered **off**, not on. Verify against `govc ls /ha-datacenter/vm` before relying on them.
