AShish_hello everyone04:14
rvbaroaksoax: Hi, I tried to use FPI using http://pad.ubuntu.com/maas-fastpath-install-preseed but it did not work… I used a different method than the one described in the first 3 lines to set the 'use-fastpath-installer' tag but this part worked (I checked in the UI that the tag was applied to my nodes).  Can you double check the script?13:28
rvba(my nodes were installed using the normal installer, I did not get the FPI to work)13:29
rvbaroaksoax: I'm really wondering how this could work because the url referenced is "http://"+cluster_host+"/MAAS/static/images/[...] and, when talking about the cluster next to the region, this does not exist.13:39
rvbaroaksoax: I guess I'm really missing something here :)13:39
roaksoaxrvba: 1. dis u add support for saucy to maas? 2. does the preseed renders correctly? 3. are you deploying with juju? 4. change /dev/vda to /dev/sda or where you want ubunty to be ibstalled13:40
roaksoaxrvba: are you using raring for the maas server?13:41
roaksoaxrvba: that *does* work and exists13:41
roaksoaxrvba: we have it running at one of our labs13:42
rvbaroaksoax: 1. not yet 2. checking… 3. yes 4. /dev/vda? /dev/sda? where? 5. yes, raring13:42
roaksoaxrvba: in the preseed13:42
roaksoax413:42
roaksoax4 in the preseed13:42
rvbaroaksoax: I'm sure it works… but I suspect the setup we have in the lab differs from your setup.13:44
roaksoaxrvba: doesnt matter cluster_host renders based on the cluster for which the node belongs to13:45
rvbahum, the preseed looks like the normal d-i preseed.13:46
roaksoaxrvba: then it is not using the right one13:46
roaksoaxrvba: maybe the wsy u added the tag13:46
rvbaI see the tab on the node's page.13:46
rvbatag*13:47
roaksoaxrvba: right but it has special cases13:47
roaksoaxrvba: check the node.py model for expkanayion13:48
rvbaroaksoax: arg, indeed, there is something weird with that tag.13:50
roaksoaxrvba: yeah gavin did it in a way that wont work if theres definition or sonethibg13:52
rvbaroaksoax: right, that's the weird part :)13:53
roaksoaxindeed :)13:55
rvba>>> [n.should_use_fastpath_installer() for n in Node.objects.all()]13:55
rvba[True, True, True, True]13:55
rvbaroaksoax: but I don't think that's the problem. ^13:55
rvbathat method, should_use_fastpath_installer(), is not really used anywhere…13:57
=== kentb-out is now known as kentb
roaksoaxrvba: i know but traditional installer is14:00
roaksoaxso if thats false then the fpi should be used14:00
rvbaI really don't understand how this all fits together.14:01
roaksoaxrvba: what exactly?14:01
rvbaroaksoax: I got it now: my file /usr/share/maas/preseeds/generic does not contain the {{if node.should_use_traditional_installer() }} trick!14:03
roaksoaxrvba: plop :) it shoulf if you are using raring14:04
rvbahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5674126/14:04
roaksoaxthats weird though14:04
rvbaroaksoax: I think the package from the daily ppa has a pb.14:06
roaksoaxpb?14:06
rvbaroaksoax: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/5674126/14:06
roaksoaxrvba: that doesn't seem to be using the latest branch cause the  generic template should have the should_use....14:11
roaksoaxrvba: and i need to add packaging support for fpi to the latest packaging14:11
roaksoaxbranch14:11
smoserbahn.14:13
smoserbah.14:13
smoseri'm seeing an issue i think where if i start a node form the cli, then it gets powered on, but it tries to pxe boot to 'poweroff' template.14:13
smoserand in the web ui, it has 'start node' as an action14:14
roaksoaxsmoser: the node is not sllocated to the user then14:14
roaksoaxut is not being allocated*14:15
smoseri allocate it with that user from cli14:16
smoserand then start it14:16
smoserallocate works14:16
smosergoes from unallocated to allocated14:16
smoser(state goes from 4 to 6)14:16
roaksoaxsmoser: maybe pxe got disabled?14:16
smoser?14:16
smoseri'm watching it pxe boot14:17
rvbaroaksoax: the fpi stuff is not in the 1.3 branch (the branch for raring)!  That's the reason why it is not in the raring daily package.14:17
roaksoaxas in the node is node.pxe = False14:17
roaksoaxracedo: yeah the fpi is in trunk14:17
roaksoaxerr14:17
smoser"netboot": true,14:17
roaksoaxrvba ^^14:17
roaksoaxrvba: use thr package from raring14:17
roaksoaxrvba it is not in 1.3 becsuse in rarin (the release) it was a patch thsg ensbled fpi because at the time fpi wsdnt gonna be merged upstream14:18
rvbaroaksoax: ah ok.14:19
smoserGAH14:19
roaksoaxsmoser: but if the ui shows it hsd 'dtart node' as an action the it means it wont pxeboot because node is not stsrted14:21
smoserroaksoax, its user error14:23
smoserto some extent14:23
smoser@#$%ing annoying14:23
smosermaas-cli maas nodes acquire system_id=node-28272b2c-b844-11e2-bca5-d4bed9a8449314:23
smoserthat will happily acquire you a *different* system!14:23
smoserbug 107431714:23
ubot5bug 1074317 in MAAS "cmdline acquire and start is difficult" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107431714:23
roaksoaxsmoser: yeah i think that suport should be added to work with systems using its name not its uuid14:25
smoserroaksoax, no. thats not the problem14:26
smoseracquire *only* works by name14:26
rvbararg, now the preseed template cannot be rendered.14:26
smoserand if you specify 'system_id=SOME_SYSTEM_ID' it will happily give you a different one.14:26
roaksoaxrvba thats etherpad messing with unicode14:26
smoserjust as if you say: acquire FOOOWHIZ=excellent14:26
smoserit just gives you a system.14:26
roaksoaxi see14:27
smoserbasically 'system_id' is not anythign special to acquire14:27
roaksoaxrvba: found snother bug with cpu discovery btw14:27
rvbaroaksoax: ah, you're right!14:27
roaksoaxsmoser: yeah i see now. but apsrt from that we should be using sydtem nsme rathet than system uuid14:28
roaksoaxrvba: ill get you a lshw xml file on monday14:29
rvbaroaksoax: ok, cool.14:29
roaksoaxok then I'm off today ... so of there's nothing else y'all need me for I'm off:)14:30
roaksoaxrvba: btw... re on dhcp email. i thi k is due to the latest changr madr by julian to packaging branch14:50
