[15:32] <irossi> Hi folks its Ian Rossi
[15:33] <irossi> I'm doing as James suggested in the last email and I destroyed the environment and rebootstrapped
[15:34] <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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <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
[17:28] <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
[17:29] <roo9> lemme see how that works out :) thanks for help
[17:29] <roaksoax> good luck
[19:32] <roo9> roaksoax: would a node moving from Commissioning -> Ready states reprogram the IPMI?
[19:35] <roo9> I reconfigured what you suggested and reset one node manually but it didn't adjust the IPMI to use DHCP
[20:25] <roaksoax> roo9: if you did it in /etc/maas/commissioning-user-data, then it should have
[20:33] <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
[20:35] <roaksoax> maybe there's a biug there somehwer
[20:35] <roaksoax> i would have to invetsstigate
[20:36] <roo9> is there a way to tell the commissioning to just pause and startup sshd with a known password or something similar?
[20:50] <roaksoax> roo9: yes: https://lists.launchpad.net/maas-devel/msg00808.html
[23:56] <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
[23:57] <roaksoax> roo9: cool!
[23:57] <roaksoax> yeah IPMI implementations somethimes suck
[23:58] <roo9> big fan of MAAS so far btw
[23:58] <roo9> design/architecture wise its very nice
[23:59] <roaksoax> roo9: I'm glad you like it! :)
