[09:01] <jtv> rvba: I posted some notes on your MP.  Could you have a look and see if I'm making any sense at all?
[09:02] <rvba> jtv: sure.
[13:53] <roaksoax> negronjl: how was your presentation btw?
[17:25] <negronjl> roaksoax: ping
[17:25] <negronjl> or Daviey: ping
[17:41] <roaksoax> negronjl: here
[17:49] <negronjl> roaksoax: I'm having an issue with the mirror and was wondering if you can help me
[17:49] <roaksoax> negronjl: shoot
[17:49] <negronjl> roaksoax: I re-created the mirror for maas and i am now unable to boot machines ( incorrect architecture )
[17:49] <negronjl> roaksoax: I re-created the mirrror with the ( already there ) create-mirror.sh
[17:50] <negronjl> roaksoax: I have downloaded the mirrors for both i386 and amd64 ... any thoughts ?
[17:50] <negronjl> roaksoax: just to be on the safe side ... I am now trying to boot without the mirror ( downloading over the wire )
[17:51] <negronjl> roaksoax: that seems to be working ... so there is something broken with my mirror
[17:51] <roaksoax> negronjl: uhmmm no idea
[17:52] <roaksoax> negronjl: smoser will be able to help you he was the one who created it
[17:52] <negronjl> roaksoax: no worries .. I'll debug further ( or as smoser as well ) ... just thought that maybe you had encounter this in the past
[17:55] <smoser> oh yeah, i can always help.
[17:56] <smoser> what is the issue?
[17:59] <negronjl> hi smoser ... I re-created the mirror for the maas deployment and it is now complaining about not having the right architecture
[17:59] <negronjl> smoser:  i am using apt-mirror ( actually the create-mirror.sh script in the maas server )
[17:59] <smoser> what is complaining about not having the right arch?
[17:59] <smoser> negronjl, that was probably a bad idea
[17:59] <roaksoax> negronjl: we did hit it i think but smoser fixed it
[18:00] <negronjl> smoser: which part was a bad idea ?
[18:00] <smoser> i think recreating the mirror.
[18:00] <negronjl> smoser: i had to
[18:00] <smoser> heres what sucks
[18:00] <smoser>  * we had a tiny link
[18:00] <smoser>  * we needed a local mirror
[18:00] <smoser>  * we tried to be smart and only get some portions of the full mirror
[18:01] <smoser>  * that sucked.
[18:01] <smoser> negronjl, basically, the issue is that you need i386, and that create-mirror wasn't getting it.
[18:01] <negronjl> smoser:  i mirrored both i386 and amd64
[18:01] <smoser> the best thing to do, if you have a nice big fat link, is to make that create-mirror script get a lot more stuff.
[18:01] <smoser> well, then what are you missing?
[18:02] <negronjl> smoser:  I am still using the create-mirror script .. I just modified the line for the installer ( it had deb-i386 and i added the amd64 one )
[18:02] <negronjl> smoser:  if you have an apt-mirror config file that would get it all ( both archs to be sure ), it would help
[18:02] <negronjl> smoser: i have 35M downlink so I can handle the download
[18:03] <negronjl> smoser: once I have the entire mirror, updating it would be easier and we would have everything that we need.
[18:03] <smoser> so what are you missing?
[18:03] <smoser> what was complaining?
[18:04] <negronjl> smoser:  it appears to be downloading/using the i386 deb installer and, apparently that's not to the liking of the HP microserver
[18:04] <negronjl> smoser: so I downloaded amd64
[18:04] <negronjl> smoser:  that doesn't work either ...
[18:05] <negronjl> smoser:  I haven't tried deleting the i386 stuff and just downloading amd64 ... didn't want to do that if I didn't really have to
[18:05] <negronjl> smoser:  thoughts ?
[18:07] <smoser> negronjl, i'm a bit confused.
[18:07] <smoser> what is using the i386 deb installer?
[18:07] <smoser> sorry for not being up to date on what you're doing or the problems your having
[18:10] <negronjl> smoser:  no worries ... let me grab a chunk of syslog ( where the complains are ) and I'll pastebin them so we have a better idea ... give me a minute.
[18:11] <smoser> k
[18:21] <negronjl> smoser: can't pastebinit 'cause the machine is not booting :) ... the error: unsupported archive
[18:21] <negronjl> smoser:  it is trying to load the i386 deb installer
[18:22] <negronjl> smoser: and rejecting it ( wrong arch )
[18:22] <negronjl> smoser: This all works if I download it from the wire so, I may just have to let it install and see what it's using after when I can log on to the box
[18:26] <smoser> negronjl, but hwat is "wrong arch" ?
[18:26] <smoser> i need more data there.
[18:27] <negronjl> smoser:  i know ... me too :P  I'm also trying to find out ...  kind of a dumb error though ... wrong arch ...but it doesn't really tell me what it is expecting or what the _right_ arch is :/
[18:30] <smoser> what are you trying to do right now?
[18:30] <smoser> enlistement?
[18:30] <smoser> and how much of our hacked setup are you still using?
[18:31] <smoser> because there is probably data there i dont remember.
[18:31] <smoser> s/data/hacks/
[18:32] <negronjl> smoser:  I am trying to enlist ( I guess it is what is called when you first boot the machine so it shows as "Declared" )
[18:32] <smoser> right.
[18:32] <negronjl> smoser:  I am using all of the setup ( 9 HP micro servers and one buster laptop )
[18:33] <negronjl> s/buster/busted/
[18:33] <smoser> so that should probably work. i dont knwo why it would show wrong arch.
[18:33] <smoser> by default enlistment *is* with i386
[18:33] <smoser> so that is expected
[18:33] <smoser> (the reason is that i386 boots on amd64, and you dont know what the system is, so you take least common denominator)
[18:33] <smoser> once enlisted it should be recognized as amd64
[18:34] <negronjl> smoser:  ok .. I'll try to get more information about it.  At least I know that it "should" be the i386 one ...
[19:58] <negronjl> smoser: i got past the wrong arch issue but, now the iscsi is trying the wrong address ( an address that I had previously used ).  Can you tell me how to have that changed to the correct address ?  Or where the that setting would be ?
[20:00] <smoser> you might want to dpkg-reconfdigure maas
[20:00] <smoser> i think that might do it.
[20:00] <smoser> the IP addresses are rendered into /var/lib/tftp (i think) ... grep down that path.
[20:01] <smoser> but they start with the setting of the 'server' that you should be able to set with dpkg-reconfigure
[20:02] <smoser> you might have to 'maas-import-isos --update'
[20:02] <smoser> but i dont think so
[21:21] <negronjl> smoser: sorry ... missed your reply ... thx.  I'll try that
