[13:09] <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?
[13:48] <clong> jackweirdy: what do your logs say?
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <jackweirdy> don't know what version of maas - whichever is installed from the iso
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <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.
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <clong> once you've installed 13.04 I can help you out more if needed
[14:31] <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?
[14:32] <jackweirdy> (I 404 on http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/raring/main/installer-armhf/current/images/highbank/netboot/vmlinuz)
[15:02] <clong> have you done a apt-get update?
[15:04] <clong> I don't think you have to worry about the armhf. I'm sure you're rolling out to either intel or amd
[15:06] <jackweirdy> Yup; apt-get update didn't help
[15:07] <jackweirdy> I think I've fixed it by changing the releases listed in /etc/maas/import_pxe_files
[15:08] <clong> you mean you're not trying to download that particular package now?
[15:10] <clong> So have you : maas-import-ephemerals
[15:11] <jackweirdy> pretty much; my import_pxe_files now has RELEASES="precise" ARCHES="i386/generic"
[15:12] <jackweirdy> and I just ran maas-import-pxe-files and it seems to be working
[15:12] <clong> you'll need ephemerals too
[15:13] <clong> the pxe files are just for initial boot up not the installer packages i believe
[15:14] <jackweirdy> ah I see, I'll do that next
[15:22] <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
[15:23] <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
[15:24] <clong> cool.
[15:24] <jackweirdy> Thanks for the help btw :)
[15:24] <clong> Hey thats how us newbies cement our learning]
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <clong> 13.04 went a little smoother than the 12.04.3 setup then?
[15:27] <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
[15:28] <jackweirdy> That is, 2 physical machines, testing MAAS inside vms
[15:29] <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'
[15:30] <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..
[15:31] <jackweirdy> Niiiice
[15:31] <clong> I'm going to start to charm once I've got the cloud up and running.
[15:32] <clong> then I can start migrating the rest of our physical machines over to maas
[15:33] <clong> all up I will end up with approx 400 physical boxes on maas when I'm done
[17:09] <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	
[17:10] <jackweirdy> oh no, it's come up now. weird
