| rick_h_ | bigjools: used my mac air's thunderbold->hdmi cable to verify no AMT love :( | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| bigjools | rick_h_: :( | 00:39 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: can MAAS use them aside from power? Or since it can only work/allocate on pxe boot you have to reach in to restart them to do anything useful? | 00:39 |
| bigjools | it's beyond me why they only do it in the lesser model | 00:39 |
| bigjools | so there's two useful things for me with AMT | 00:39 |
| bigjools | 1. the power control | 00:39 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: yea, well I knew there were tricks and it's far from clear on those dippy things. Annoying as can be | 00:39 |
| bigjools | 2. VNC access to the console | 00:40 |
| rick_h_ | ah, yea that was one thing I was looking forward to | 00:40 |
| bigjools | the second is super cool - I can start a session before the machine is even powered up | 00:40 |
| bigjools | and then I get the bios screen when it does | 00:40 |
| rick_h_ | so if I boot it with pxe boot, the maas controller can boot it and get it running? e.g. I can still use it to bring up the maas 'environment' and hand off to devs on the team to use for juju deploys over and over? | 00:41 |
| bigjools | but you can still use maas, you just need to power on/off manuallu | 00:41 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: right, I guess the question is how often do you need to power on/off? | 00:41 |
| * rick_h_ hasn't used maas yet but we need to make it work with juju-quickstart and want to test out bundles on it | 00:41 | |
| bigjools | it usually powers itself off at the end of the commissioning cycle, but when in *use* as a node it won't turn off when released | 00:42 |
| bigjools | so when the machine gets allocated, turn it on manually, and when it's released, turn it off | 00:42 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: ok, but in the 'juju deploy this, destroy the service and now deploy this' scenario is just stays up and gets blown away/reinstalled on the fly? | 00:43 |
| rick_h_ | or does it use the pxe reboot situation to rebuild the machine for the new deployment task? | 00:44 |
| bigjools | rick_h_: it needs to pxe boot each time | 00:47 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: ok, so yea. I can't get away with using these then | 00:47 |
| rick_h_ | bigjools: thanks for taking the time to let me bug you | 00:47 |
| bigjools | not unless you want a sore finger :) | 00:47 |
| rick_h_ | yea, the end goal is to give access to the guys on the team to test/run stuff | 00:47 |
| bigjools | sweet | 00:47 |
| bigjools | we've all got three of these too | 00:48 |
| bigjools | and some microservers | 00:48 |
| rick_h_ | yea, it seems sweet. Nice form factor and excited to try them out. just :( on the 'there's 1000 models but only one with AMT' crap | 00:48 |
| rick_h_ | ok, rma filled out and 3 new ones ordered. Bring on the restocking fees. | 00:58 |
| bigjools | you live in the US, can't you sue them or something? :) | 01:01 |
| rick_h_ | lol, then it's lawyer fees. Those cost more than restocking fees | 01:02 |
