| roaksoax | bigjools: we'll have to test that with machine with md raid arrays | 01:17 |
|---|---|---|
| bigjools | roaksoax: fair enough. | 01:18 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: and I don't know whether we wanna do that | 01:18 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: btw.. is there any ETA on the cluster url thing for the preseeds? | 01:19 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: this week | 01:19 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: ack! thanks | 01:20 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: btw.. are we going to start releasing trunk for precise? | 01:29 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: no! | 01:29 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: one of the things that came up last week was the ability to have custom kernel command lines | 01:29 |
| bigjools | I know | 01:30 |
| roaksoax | as they do some costumization some times | 01:30 |
| roaksoax | ack | 01:30 |
| bigjools | people want their cake and eat it - a stable LTS but at the same time all the shiny new features | 01:30 |
| bigjools | from my PoV I am happy to release trunk to precise but you'd have to work hard with the techboard, no? | 01:31 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: oh I meant PPA | 01:31 |
| roaksoax | not actually SRU it | 01:31 |
| bigjools | ok | 01:31 |
| bigjools | we can do a backports PPA | 01:31 |
| roaksoax | yeah that's what I meant | 01:32 |
| bigjools | no problems with that :) | 01:32 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: do you know anything about this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1087183 | 01:32 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1087183 in maas (Ubuntu) "MaaS cloud-init configuration specifies 'manage_etc_hosts: localhost'" [High,Confirmed] | 01:32 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: i know the context, but I think the removal of it didn't really fix the issue james was having | 01:33 |
| roaksoax | you'll need to check with him and scott just to be sure | 01:33 |
| bigjools | ok I'll leave it incomplete, thanks | 01:33 |
| bigjools | hey, you have nothing better to do on a Sunday night? :) | 01:34 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: ok so this wewk I'll make sure all the MAAS dependencies are in precise, and then hopefully upload maas by thursday, wtih 2 fixes I want to fix. 1. ipmi stuff, 2. fix a packaging bug on upgrade | 01:34 |
| bigjools | woohoo | 01:34 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: what about testing with Django? | 01:34 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: heh.. was doing homework, then learning how to dj, and now preparing my notes from last week to send to you tomorrow | 01:35 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: I think we are good with that. ScottK did say he was fine with it if the techboard approved it.But i don't know who can test it apart from the maas team | 01:35 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: so i'll check on that this week too | 01:35 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: well we need to run up some other Django apps with the patched Django | 01:36 |
| roaksoax | yeah, bigjools horizon (openstack) could be a good example | 01:37 |
| bigjools | ok | 01:37 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: anyways, I'm off, have a good day! | 01:39 |
| roaksoax | oh btw.. thanks again for the help last week! | 01:40 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: pleasure, have a good evening | 01:40 |
| roaksoax | thanks! | 01:40 |
| Wout | I'm having an issue with maas where my node names are not consitent with the ip address | 10:55 |
| Wout | for example: 192-168-30-55.master = 192.168.30.50 not 192.168.30.55 | 10:57 |
| Wout | nslookup on maas master doesn't use local server | 10:58 |
| bigjools | you might be falling foul of a problem in the dhcp server | 10:59 |
| bigjools | where it assigns different IPs to the same machine | 10:59 |
| bigjools | depending on whether it's requesting IP from the BIOS or from the OS | 10:59 |
| Wout | The OS | 11:01 |
| Wout | what does maas use for dhcp? | 11:04 |
| Wout | sorry DNS | 11:04 |
| Wout | what does it use for dns | 11:04 |
| bigjools | bind | 11:04 |
| Wout | does maas create a mac <-> reserve somewhere? | 11:06 |
| bigjools | what do you mean by reserve? | 11:06 |
| Wout | I can see dns name in /etc/bind/maas/zone.30.168.192.in-addr.arpa | 11:07 |
| Wout | it say's ip 55 in range 192.168.30 is DNS name 192-168-30-55.master | 11:08 |
| bigjools | maas scans the leases file that the DHCP server maintains, and keeps track of IP vs MAC in its database | 11:08 |
| Wout | where does maas link 192.168.30.55 to a mac address | 11:08 |
| bigjools | you probably have this issue with the dhcp server: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1069570 | 11:09 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1069570 in MAAS "1 MAC Address, two IPs - DNS is "out of sync" with DHCP leases databases, I think..." [Critical,Triaged] | 11:09 |
| Wout | I'l look at that | 11:09 |
| bigjools | someone is looking at a fix on the dhcp server | 11:10 |
| Wout | wow looking at the bu report... | 11:13 |
| Wout | this s*cks | 11:13 |
| Wout | I'm implementing this now | 11:13 |
| === jam2 is now known as jam | ||
| roaksoax | bigjools: btw we didn't experience that bug above | 14:59 |
| Wout | Anyone in heer been able to de pxe maas with uefi? | 15:55 |
| Wout | MAAS doesn't create the boot files foor uefi systems | 15:56 |
| Wout | I need to enlist a uefi only system | 15:56 |
| Wout | How would I do that? | 15:56 |
| Wout | Anyone there? | 15:57 |

| bigjools | smoser: can you respond to my comment here please? https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1116331 | 23:17 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1116331 in MAAS "proxy not used in ephemeral or commissioning" [Medium,In progress] | 23:17 |
| bigjools | Oh I see you commented on the MP | 23:18 |
| bigjools | BTW if you open up the expander at the bottom of the MP page you can set it to WIP immediately so no emails get sent containing bogus diffs | 23:19 |
| bigjools | how can I help mwhudson? | 23:32 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: hello | 23:32 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: i have a task which i've just realized sounds very much like maas | 23:32 |
| mwhudson | or rather, one small part of maas | 23:33 |
| mwhudson | so i wonder if can reuse it or at least see how it does it | 23:33 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: basically i think i want a super dumb netinstaller | 23:33 |
| bigjools | this is pretty much what maas does, yes | 23:33 |
| mwhudson | that can be configured to say "when the device with mac address $foo boots, dump this disk image onto it" | 23:33 |
| bigjools | maas is in control of the boot | 23:34 |
| bigjools | it powers up the machine | 23:34 |
| bigjools | so if you can deal with that, maas will work nicely | 23:34 |
| bigjools | it'll even put your ssh key on there | 23:35 |
| mwhudson | this is for lava, automated testing stuff | 23:35 |
| mwhudson | i' | 23:35 |
| mwhudson | for now i'll be doing stuff over serial console to control the node after it boots the desired image i think | 23:35 |
| bigjools | so maas serves up different boot images depending on what state it thinks the node is in | 23:36 |
| bigjools | therefore unless maas thinks the node is booting, it won't do much | 23:36 |
| bigjools | maas also uses cloud-init | 23:36 |
| mwhudson | right | 23:36 |
| mwhudson | i think perhaps i only want a very small part of maas | 23:36 |
| bigjools | it would be hard to use maas in bits | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | there is always c-c c-v :) | 23:37 |
| bigjools | all you need then is a tftp server, a dhcp server, and some boot images | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | probably | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | but i don't want the default netinstaller initrd i think | 23:38 |
| bigjools | and frig the kernel options so it starts a net install | 23:38 |
| mwhudson | i just want something that splats a tarball into a partition | 23:38 |
| bigjools | we use iscsi | 23:38 |
| mwhudson | none of this packaging stuff | 23:38 |
| bigjools | ah | 23:38 |
| bigjools | maas doesn't do that - yet. should be ready RSN | 23:38 |
| mwhudson | oh ok | 23:39 |
| bigjools | it currently runs d-i | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | ah | 23:39 |
| bigjools | but work is afoot to splat an image | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | so you don't have anything like an "ami for maas"? | 23:39 |
| bigjools | no | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | ok | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | ffs | 23:39 |
| bigjools | not yet | 23:39 |
| bigjools | give it a week :) | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | why am i always at the bleeding edge of everything :) | 23:39 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: what does maas use for dhcp/tftp etc? | 23:40 |
| bigjools | internal TFTP implementation, but ISC DHCP | 23:40 |
| mwhudson | ok | 23:40 |
| bigjools | bleeding edge = on the curve man | 23:41 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: is pserv the tftp bit? | 23:44 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: yes, twisted process | 23:45 |
| mwhudson | cool | 23:45 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: and all this is doing the stuff that cobbler used to do? | 23:47 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: kinda. | 23:48 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2013-February/001012.html | 23:48 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: I saw that, good stuff | 23:48 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: ok cool, so what you think about the GeneircIPAddressField? | 23:49 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: yes we could pull that in. I don't like doing that though. | 23:50 |
| mwhudson | bigjools: generally maas uses the regular initrds that the distro provides? | 23:51 |
| roaksoax | mwhudson: it does | 23:51 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: yes | 23:51 |
| mwhudson | ok | 23:51 |
| * mwhudson has found class TFTPBackend(FilesystemSynchronousBackend): now | 23:51 | |
| roaksoax | bigjools: so what do you think we should do? | 23:52 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: the tftp server is tightly integrated to maas as it serves up different things depending on the state of the node | 23:53 |
| mwhudson | yeah | 23:53 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: do we have a choice? | 23:53 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: can we carry it as a quilt patch? | 23:54 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: yes | 23:54 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: that's what *should* be done | 23:54 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: probably easiest | 23:54 |
| bigjools | since it's easiest to remove | 23:55 |
| roaksoax | indeed | 23:55 |
| bigjools | and it's distro-specific, not upstream issue | 23:55 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: you could serve up an ephemeral image to a booting node and use a cloud-init script to splat a tarball | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | bigjools: yeah, so ;et's do that. That's the easiest, to ship it as a patch | 23:56 |
| bigjools | roaksoax: sweet | 23:56 |
| bigjools | mwhudson: then you can just boot something and maas will install it | 23:56 |
| bigjools | all highly unsupported :) | 23:57 |
