| Lennie_ | I'm using the maas.img.bz2 for that node, because I did not want to mess with the DHCP | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Lennie_ | the status of the node in MAAS (I added it by hand with the right MAC and name) is: Commissioning | 00:01 |
| Lennie_ | what I tried first is to boot from the 12.10 server CD and choose MAAS, use MAAS-server X (so the Avahi/multicast works) | 00:02 |
| Lennie_ | but all it does it reboot | 00:02 |
| Lennie_ | after you choose that option | 00:02 |
| Lennie_ | any tips ? | 00:03 |
| bigjools | Lennie_: it's not really tested without dhcp, why don't you want to change that? | 00:03 |
| Lennie_ | Ahh, ok. I see | 00:04 |
| Lennie_ | Well, I didn't want to change it, because I'm running this in a virtual environment but I thought it would still need Internet access ? | 00:04 |
| Lennie_ | but I guess it doesn't. | 00:05 |
| bigjools | the nodes need internet access to complete installation | 00:05 |
| bigjools | this is probably what is going wrong for you | 00:05 |
| Lennie_ | the master did install and download all the needed stuff | 00:05 |
| Lennie_ | it does have internet | 00:05 |
| bigjools | what do you mean by master here? | 00:06 |
| Lennie_ | ok, I at least now know that without DHCP-changes it won't work. I'll switch stuff around | 00:06 |
| Lennie_ | thanks | 00:06 |
| Lennie_ | master=MAAS server | 00:06 |
| bigjools | are you using the maas packages from 12.10? | 00:06 |
| Lennie_ | yes I am | 00:06 |
| bigjools | so the nodes need internet access to | 00:08 |
| bigjools | too* | 00:08 |
| Lennie_ | ahh, would that be different with 10.04 ? | 00:08 |
| Lennie_ | I can just do a reinstall | 00:08 |
| bigjools | no, it has always been the case | 00:09 |
| Lennie_ | hmm.. ok, I see | 00:09 |
| bigjools | when they commission/enlist, they download some extra packages from the archive | 00:09 |
| Lennie_ | I just remembered I don't need to mess with DHCP, because it is virtual I can just tell iPXE to use next-server and pxelinux.0 | 00:11 |
| Lennie_ | I have some doubts about it working, but I'll try anyway :- | 00:12 |
| Lennie_ | :-) | 00:13 |
| bigjools | ok :) | 00:13 |
| bigjools | FWIW there's quite a few bugs we're fixing in 12.10, you can see the list here. It should be released to the archive soon. https://launchpad.net/maas/+milestone/12.10-stabilization | 00:14 |
| Lennie_ | see I did try that before, what I get in that case is: Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/some-long-number | 00:14 |
| Lennie_ | and to be clear after that, nothing happends | 00:15 |
| bigjools | right, it's trying to TFTP | 00:15 |
| bigjools | the number is the MAC address | 00:16 |
| bigjools | maas runs its own tftp server | 00:16 |
| bigjools | the dhcp server tells the pxe boot where to tftp from | 00:16 |
| bigjools | "next-server" | 00:16 |
| Lennie_ | Yes I know and it is the same MAC address as before | 00:16 |
| bigjools | but I expect you know all this :) | 00:16 |
| Lennie_ | pxelinux.0 does get downloaded | 00:17 |
| Lennie_ | why does it not download more ? | 00:17 |
| Lennie_ | ahh, I found the bug...? it does not try to download the pexlinux.cfg/adsfsdf from the next-server, but the DHCP server | 00:20 |
| Lennie_ | and that was after downloading the pxelinux.0 from the next-server :-) | 00:21 |
| Lennie_ | ok, maybe it is because I'm faking it | 00:22 |
| bigjools | probably | 00:22 |
| bigjools | if next-server is not present, it defaults to the same address as the dhcp server | 00:23 |
| Lennie_ | yep, that was the problem | 00:26 |
| bigjools | we have a PPA with fixes for a lot of those problems if you want to test with it | 00:32 |
| Lennie_ | euh... no ? I spend already 2 or 3 hours before I found out that the libvirt/NAT on my desktop where the virtual machines are running translates the multicast traffic to 224.something from Avahi to 10.0.0.3 (the address on the lxcbr0) | 00:34 |
| Lennie_ | and I can't figure out why by the way | 00:34 |
| Lennie_ | if you have an idea why I'd love to know :-) | 00:34 |
| Lennie_ | it isn't a rule in iptables or iptables -t nat | 00:35 |
| Lennie_ | or -t mangle ;-) | 00:35 |
| Lennie_ | ok, the node failed to install: unmet dependencies: kernel package: linux-server | 00:36 |
| bigjools | you need to use bridged networking | 00:37 |
| Lennie_ | The NAT is a bridge ;-) anyway, I disabled network manager, created a bridge and attached eth0 and put my IP on the bridge and told libvirt to connect it to the bridge | 00:38 |
| bigjools | NAT is not bridged :) | 00:38 |
| bigjools | are you intending to use MAAS with real machines at some point? | 00:39 |
| Lennie_ | well, maybe, probably. If I like it and I can convince my boss and coworkers at work :-) | 00:40 |
| Lennie_ | what I wanted to do is play with OpenStack and Ceph, but the Ceph charm needed block devices, so I needed a way to automate deployment. So I'm doing a virtual bare-metal for deploying charms | 00:43 |
| bigjools | ok | 00:45 |
| bigjools | I was going to say that if you really wanted VMs for deployment, you don't really want to use MAAS | 00:45 |
| bigjools | feel free to ping me directly if you want more help | 00:45 |
| Lennie_ | have to admint it is all a bit confusing, I only started playing with OpenStack a couple of days ago and I know Ceph already for a couple of months, been following it's progress for more than a year. Now I'm adding juju, charms and MAAS. | 00:47 |
| Lennie_ | maybe it is just to much in one go ;-) | 00:47 |
| bigjools | there is a lot to learn, yes! | 00:48 |
| bigjools | but if you take it one step at a time, it's not a problem | 00:48 |
| bigjools | you won't get to learn it quickly though | 00:48 |
| Lennie_ | and I wanted the OpenStack with Quantum and Ceph thin provisioning, I can tell you you need there are some corner cases there that don't work ;-) | 00:49 |
| Lennie_ | and trying to get them all right in one go was a bad idea :-) | 00:49 |
| bigjools | yes :) | 00:49 |
| bigjools | hey roaksoax, did you get the dhcpd apparmor fix SRUed? | 00:51 |
| Lennie_ | bigjools: is the install of 12.04 of MAAS less buggy or more buggy than 12.10 ? | 00:51 |
| bigjools | Lennie_: vastly more | 00:51 |
| bigjools | we're replacing 12.04 with what's in 12.10 soon | 00:52 |
| Lennie_ | Ok, because I'm still stuck with installing the first node | 00:52 |
| bigjools | so the bugs will be equal :) | 00:52 |
| bigjools | yeah, it's not really tested on VMs so I am not surprised | 00:52 |
| Lennie_ | is this VM related ?: "ok, the node failed to install: unmet dependencies: kernel package: linux-server" | 00:53 |
| Lennie_ | it says in the title: "Congiruing linux-image-3.5.0-18-generic" | 00:53 |
| bigjools | honest, not sure. is that in the console log on the node? | 00:53 |
| Lennie_ | in the console yes | 00:54 |
| Lennie_ | in the log, well console 4: unmet depend: linux-header-3.5.0-18-generic depends linux-headers-3.5.0-18 but it is not going to installed | 00:55 |
| Lennie_ | and: unmet depend: linux-image-generic depends linux-image-extra-3.5.0-18 but it is not going to installed | 00:56 |
| Lennie_ | I tried to chroot in /target and run apt-get -f install and it says: no space left on device | 00:58 |
| Lennie_ | it seems it created a partition of 557MB | 00:59 |
| Lennie_ | with over 500MB used | 00:59 |
| Lennie_ | hmm, you can't force a MAAS installation to do something else than what it is programmed to do, when you are at the console, can you ? | 01:04 |
| Lennie_ | not even by going to the menu when you have an error and choosing something | 01:05 |
| Lennie_ | let's see what happends with I change it from virtio disk to ide | 01:06 |
| Lennie_ | better | 01:08 |
| Lennie_ | now it uses most of the disk | 01:08 |
| bigjools | sorry, on the phone | 01:13 |
| Lennie_ | bigjools: no worries, it's starting to work now :-0 | 01:14 |
| bigjools | good to hear | 01:27 |
| Lennie_ | bigjools: is this still true for juju ?: You'll want to make sure default-series is set to the Ubuntu Server release you want. (Only precise is supported for now.) | 01:33 |
| bigjools | Lennie_: no, it can deploy quantal | 01:34 |
| Lennie_ | because at this point I get: INFO Bootstrapping environment 'maas' (origin: distro type: maas)..." | 01:36 |
| Lennie_ | "ERROR No matching node is available." | 01:36 |
| bigjools | you have one of the bugs that's not fixed in the archive yet :( | 01:37 |
| bigjools | it's a juju bug | 01:37 |
| bigjools | there's a workaround, hang on | 01:37 |
| Lennie_ | I already used juju 0.6 from ppa to be save, but I guess that wasn't enough ;-) | 01:39 |
| bigjools | oh, hmm | 01:39 |
| bigjools | try: juju bootstrap --constraints arch=i386 (or amd64 if that's what you have) | 01:40 |
| bigjools | otherwise, check your maas console, you do have at least one node that's marked "ready" right? | 01:41 |
| Lennie_ | yes, that is what I did wrong, I allocated them :-) | 01:41 |
| bigjools | ah | 01:41 |
| Lennie_ | it's all about learning the lingo :-) | 01:41 |
| bigjools | you should not do that in the UI, juju does it for you | 01:41 |
| bigjools | you have to use the maas-cli tool to unallocate them | 01:42 |
| Lennie_ | yeah, that is what I understand now too | 01:42 |
| Lennie_ | ok, that works, they are now ready, let's see if I can bootstrap them | 01:45 |
| Lennie_ | bootstrap juju I mean | 01:46 |
| bigjools | it installs the nodes using d-i, so takes a while | 01:46 |
| Lennie_ | I should probably first attacht the extra disk | 01:47 |
| bigjools | quicker if your squid-deb-proxy is populated | 01:47 |
| Lennie_ | hmm... I don't understand it, why do I get this error: 'ERROR Error processing 'cs:quantal/ceph': entry not found' at this url http://jujucharms.com/charms/quantal/ceph there is one, but not here ?: https://store.juju.ubuntu.com/charm-info?charms=cs:quantal/ceph | 02:19 |
| bigjools | → #juju | 02:23 |
| Lennie_ | good idea :-) | 02:23 |
| Lennie_ | while no1 mentioned it in #juju: I can probably use a branch instead: https://juju.ubuntu.com/docs/internals/charm-store.html#namespaces | 02:47 |
| Lennie_ | bigjools: could the webinterface also automatically refresh every x amount of time ? (as in my case I have to manually start the vm's) | 03:20 |
| bigjools | Lennie_: the dashboard page does that | 03:20 |
| Lennie_ | that is the first page, not the nodes-page I assume. OK, that would be fine | 03:22 |

| sheldonl | Hello | 18:43 |
| sheldonl | Anyone here? | 18:44 |
| sheldonl | I'm having a problem with commissioning nodes. | 18:47 |
| sheldonl | when I go into the MAAS web gui and click accept and commission, then I boot the node from the network it starts but at the login prompt it throws erros to the console 'http 401' and posts a lot of additional errors (which I cannot see b/c they go by too fast) and then shuts down. | 18:58 |
| Lennie_ | hi | 20:31 |
