| jackweirdy | Hey all - having a strange problem where my cluster & region controller shuts down mid way through running maas-import-pxe-files - anyone know how I can diagnose this? | 13:09 |
|---|---|---|
| clong | jackweirdy: what do your logs say? | 13:48 |
| clong | what versions of ubuntu, maas do you have installed? | 13:49 |
| jackweirdy | Which logs? There's nothing in syslog or dmesg - it looks like an unclean shutdown as my bash history isn't persisted | 13:49 |
| jackweirdy | ubuntu 12.04.3 | 13:49 |
| jackweirdy | downloaded the iso this morning, sha is correct | 13:49 |
| jackweirdy | don't know what version of maas - whichever is installed from the iso | 13:50 |
| clong | I'm running 13.04 with better results than I was getting with 12.04.3. I'm then deploying 12.04.3 nodes | 13:51 |
| clong | maas --version | 13:51 |
| clong | I'm running maas version 1.4.5 | 13:52 |
| jackweirdy | 1.3.1 | 13:52 |
| jackweirdy | I'll try moving up to 13.04 then. | 13:52 |
| clong | It's worth it I think. I've just gone through all of the pain over the last 2 weeks and I now have a setup running juju properly and juju-gui all well | 13:54 |
| clong | once you've installed 13.04 I can help you out more if needed | 13:55 |
| jackweirdy | I've just installed 13.04, when installing the images I get a 404 on vmlinuz for armhf | 14:31 |
| jackweirdy | any chance I have to update something? Perhaps the list of images? | 14:31 |
| jackweirdy | (I 404 on http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/raring/main/installer-armhf/current/images/highbank/netboot/vmlinuz) | 14:32 |
| clong | have you done a apt-get update? | 15:02 |
| clong | I don't think you have to worry about the armhf. I'm sure you're rolling out to either intel or amd | 15:04 |
| jackweirdy | Yup; apt-get update didn't help | 15:06 |
| jackweirdy | I think I've fixed it by changing the releases listed in /etc/maas/import_pxe_files | 15:07 |
| clong | you mean you're not trying to download that particular package now? | 15:08 |
| clong | So have you : maas-import-ephemerals | 15:10 |
| jackweirdy | pretty much; my import_pxe_files now has RELEASES="precise" ARCHES="i386/generic" | 15:11 |
| jackweirdy | and I just ran maas-import-pxe-files and it seems to be working | 15:12 |
| clong | you'll need ephemerals too | 15:12 |
| clong | the pxe files are just for initial boot up not the installer packages i believe | 15:13 |
| jackweirdy | ah I see, I'll do that next | 15:14 |
| jackweirdy | Do I have to configure DHCP manually? | 15:22 |
| jackweirdy | I've installed maas-dhcp, and tried dpkg-reconfigure on it, but I don't get a UI that I've seen documented | 15:22 |
| clong | hold on I'll get an example for you | 15:23 |
| jackweirdy | Oh wait, found it :) | 15:23 |
| jackweirdy | http://askubuntu.com/questions/286175/how-do-you-actually-configure-dhcp-in-maas-in-raring] | 15:23 |
| jackweirdy | * http://askubuntu.com/questions/286175/how-do-you-actually-configure-dhcp-in-maas-in-raring | 15:23 |
| clong | cool. | 15:24 |
| jackweirdy | Thanks for the help btw :) | 15:24 |
| clong | Hey thats how us newbies cement our learning] | 15:24 |
| clong | Do you have your maas web gui up yet? | 15:25 |
| jackweirdy | Yup; just configured DHCP through it and network booted a new vm :) | 15:25 |
| clong | cos you can set all of the DHCP there.. I'm too slow | 15:25 |
| clong | 13.04 went a little smoother than the 12.04.3 setup then? | 15:26 |
| jackweirdy | Yeah :) Well I actually got it working which is nice :D | 15:27 |
| clong | how many machines have you got there to maas with? | 15:27 |
| clong | good stuff | 15:27 |
| jackweirdy | I'm running a couple of machines and I'm running them inside VMs | 15:27 |
| jackweirdy | That is, 2 physical machines, testing MAAS inside vms | 15:28 |
| clong | ahhh ok.. I had to stuff around for 2 weeks or so while I was learning how to configure a 32 node HP blade. WOL wasn't working cos of the freeipmi config | 15:29 |
| jackweirdy | Ah nice; never used blades before. Did you get it working in the end? | 15:29 |
| clong | so I now have 38 phys machines' | 15:29 |
| clong | yep. It's all go. I'm now setting up open stack using juju and juju-gui | 15:30 |
| jackweirdy | Ah brill! I'm doing some maas stuff as a base for a couple of charms I'm building for the juju charm championship | 15:30 |
| clong | I can build machines from baremetal in under 40 mins.. | 15:30 |
| jackweirdy | Niiiice | 15:31 |
| clong | I'm going to start to charm once I've got the cloud up and running. | 15:31 |
| clong | then I can start migrating the rest of our physical machines over to maas | 15:32 |
| clong | all up I will end up with approx 400 physical boxes on maas when I'm done | 15:33 |
| jackweirdy | Hmm; when I network boot a new vm, it seems to install fine then restart, but gets stuck on Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/<MAC address> | 17:09 |
| jackweirdy | and in the dashboard I see ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached.master | 17:09 |
| jackweirdy | oh no, it's come up now. weird | 17:10 |
| clong | <jackweirdy> You have to set up your DNS correctly | 21:43 |
