| irossi | Hi folks its Ian Rossi | 15:32 |
|---|---|---|
| irossi | I'm doing as James suggested in the last email and I destroyed the environment and rebootstrapped | 15:33 |
| irossi | But I can't get a juju status so I just want to ./delete_all the vms and start over, but I need that maas-cli command to release the Juju bootstrap node | 15:34 |
| irossi | Oh think I found it | 15:34 |
| roo9 | hi, I'm testing out MAAS and it seems to configure a username/password on the IPMI device of new nodes, but doesn't give them an IP address (they come preconfigured with a static IP) | 17:23 |
| roo9 | any idea how to adjust how MAAS configures the IPMI? | 17:23 |
| roaksoax | roo9: maas does not configure IP on IPMI devices and we don't want them to | 17:23 |
| roaksoax | roo9: IPMI maas only obtains the IP address from BMC if there's one set statically (or dinamically) and we tell maas of the IP of the BMC | 17:24 |
| roaksoax | MAAS assumes that you either already configured your BMC with static IP, or DHCP | 17:24 |
| roo9 | right, in my case unfortunately every single server comes preconfigured from the manufacturer with the same static IP | 17:24 |
| roo9 | which, yes, retarded, but I would prefer to avoid going into the BMC bios on every single server | 17:24 |
| roaksoax | roo9: what you can do though is make MAAS tell the BMC "try to obtain an IP from DHCP" | 17:25 |
| roo9 | aha, that is exactly what I want actually | 17:25 |
| roaksoax | roo9: ok so what maas verison are you using? quantal? raring? | 17:26 |
| roo9 | quantal, but this is a new deployment i'm just testing things out at this point | 17:26 |
| roaksoax | roo9: ok so go to: /usr/share/maas/preseeds/enlist_userdata and look for IPMI_CHANGE_STATIC_TO_DHCP="false" and change it to "true" | 17:27 |
| roaksoax | roo9: *and* /etc/maas/commissioning-user-data and do the same | 17:27 |
| roo9 | I know there were a lot of changes from 12.04 -> 12.10, so I moved to quantal | 17:28 |
| roo9 | but should I just use raring? | 17:28 |
| roaksoax | roo9: so that would tell the BMC to try to obtain an IP address from DHCP | 17:28 |
| roaksoax | roo9: quantal is fine | 17:28 |
| roo9 | ok | 17:28 |
| roo9 | lemme see how that works out :) thanks for help | 17:29 |
| roaksoax | good luck | 17:29 |
| roo9 | roaksoax: would a node moving from Commissioning -> Ready states reprogram the IPMI? | 19:32 |
| roo9 | I reconfigured what you suggested and reset one node manually but it didn't adjust the IPMI to use DHCP | 19:35 |
| roaksoax | roo9: if you did it in /etc/maas/commissioning-user-data, then it should have | 20:25 |
| roo9 | its actually showing up properly in my user-data file as near as I can see | 20:33 |
| roo9 | /MAAS/metadata/enlist/2012-03-01/user-data | 20:33 |
| roaksoax | maybe there's a biug there somehwer | 20:35 |
| roaksoax | i would have to invetsstigate | 20:35 |
| roo9 | is there a way to tell the commissioning to just pause and startup sshd with a known password or something similar? | 20:36 |
| roaksoax | roo9: yes: https://lists.launchpad.net/maas-devel/msg00808.html | 20:50 |

| roo9 | roaksoax: ended up being stupid dell IPMI, it was accepting the "set DHCP" command but only responded to it after a full power cycle | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | roo9: cool! | 23:57 |
| roaksoax | yeah IPMI implementations somethimes suck | 23:57 |
| roo9 | big fan of MAAS so far btw | 23:58 |
| roo9 | design/architecture wise its very nice | 23:58 |
| roaksoax | roo9: I'm glad you like it! :) | 23:59 |
