| Spads | I've just upgraded some MAAS infrastructure from Precise and 1.4 to Trusty and 1.5, and I notice that one of my cluster controllers is running low on disk due to /var/lib/maas/ephemeral being full of old data. Everything's from months ago, though the Web UI says it has up to date images (which I can find elsewhere). Is it safe for me to blow away /var/lib/maas/ephemeral after my 1.5 upgrade? | 08:38 |
|---|---|---|
| onicrom | hello everyone | 10:51 |
| Spads | The cluster controllers in MAAS 1.5 seem to be trying to connect to two high-numbered ports on the region controller. Apache is listening on those ports on the region controller, but I can't find the configuration that sends them there. What are these ports, and are they predictable? | 13:12 |

| onicrom | are the files in /etc/maas/templates/pxe essentially pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg files? | 14:42 |
| onicrom | and is it safe to edit them (once you copy/rename?) | 14:42 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: yes, they are templates for generating files like pxelinux.cfg files | 14:45 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: what are you trying to get done by copying/editing them? | 14:46 |
| onicrom | i was looking to add "CONSOLE 0" and "SERIAL 1 115200 0" | 14:47 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: have a look at http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/kernel-options.html | 14:47 |
| onicrom | ive appended console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8 to that | 14:47 |
| onicrom | wasn't sure if the actual pxeboot section | 14:48 |
| jhobbs | oh - those are pxelinux directives? | 14:48 |
| onicrom | would be sent to console, or just the install part | 14:48 |
| onicrom | correct | 14:48 |
| jhobbs | so you can see pxelinux output on the serial console? | 14:48 |
| onicrom | thats the goal | 14:48 |
| jhobbs | if it's pxelinux stuff you should be able to add it in the file wherever you would in a normal pxelinux file | 14:49 |
| jhobbs | was copying/renaming just to get a backup? | 14:49 |
| onicrom | well i wasnt sure if i needed to rename either the config.commissioning.template to config.commissioning | 14:50 |
| onicrom | or edit the template | 14:50 |
| jhobbs | ahh yeah just edit the template | 14:50 |
| onicrom | or edit the arch specific file | 14:50 |
| jhobbs | maas opens the template and renders it and then sends it off via tftp | 14:50 |
| onicrom | ok cool | 14:50 |
| onicrom | so would it be best to add to config.install.tem... config.commissioning.tem... or config.local.amd64.tem.... | 14:51 |
| jhobbs | they're for different stages | 14:52 |
| jhobbs | if you want pxelinux output all the time, do all of them | 14:52 |
| onicrom | would it be correct in assuming editing the amd64 would be invoked at all stages | 14:52 |
| onicrom | assuming you are using that arch | 14:52 |
| jhobbs | config.local.amd64.template is only for localbooting, after an install is complete | 14:53 |
| jhobbs | otherwise amd64 uses the generic ones without arch names in the files | 14:53 |
| onicrom | got it | 14:53 |
| jhobbs | they're not hierarchical so you have to edit them all | 14:53 |
| onicrom | thanks much | 14:54 |
| jhobbs | you're welcome | 14:54 |
| onicrom | config.local and config.local.arch need to be changed then? | 14:54 |
| === chuck_ is now known as zul | ||
| jhobbs | hmmm | 14:55 |
| jhobbs | i'm not sure why there are both there | 14:55 |
| jhobbs | couldn't hurt :) | 14:55 |
| onicrom | do you work on the project? | 14:55 |
| jhobbs | yes | 14:55 |
| onicrom | might i suggest something... the .template extension makes me think these files , should you need to change them, should be renamed removing the .template | 14:57 |
| onicrom | or copy, without .template and make changes, the system reads the non.template files should they exist | 14:57 |
| onicrom | (dont mean to complain just how i assume things to work on other tools) | 14:58 |
| jhobbs | i could see how that's confusing | 14:58 |
| jhobbs | feel free to file a bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas | 14:58 |
| jhobbs | best to have stories from real users for that sort of thing | 14:59 |
| onicrom | i wouldnt vcall it a bug :) | 15:01 |
| onicrom | but sure thing | 15:01 |
| onicrom | i have another question :) around preseed | 15:01 |
| jhobbs | ok | 15:03 |
| * jhobbs in and out, just ask and i'll try to answer | 15:03 | |
| onicrom | https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1352938 | 15:06 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1352938 in MAAS "the use of the file extension .template can be confusing" [Undecided,New] | 15:06 |
| onicrom | bug filed :) | 15:06 |
| jhobbs | cool, thanks | 15:08 |
| onicrom | jhobbs: i'm not familair with preseed at all so this is going to be amateur hour, under /etc/maas/preseeds what are the purposes for the various files | 15:10 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: have you read this? https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/development/preseeds.html | 15:14 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: preseeds for maas either generate cloud-init, curtin, or debian-installer config, depending on which state/install type is being used | 15:17 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: users can use them to customize enlistment/commissioning/installation | 15:18 |
| jhobbs | they're template files again, just like the pxe ones | 15:18 |
| onicrom | cool | 15:18 |
| onicrom | i read references to the debian-installer but my maas only says default or fast install | 15:19 |
| onicrom | i assume default is debian installer? | 15:19 |
| jhobbs | yeah | 15:19 |
| onicrom | woah i missed this doc entirely somehow :) | 15:19 |
| onicrom | thanks! also... the terms commission,enlist etc are these defined somwhere? | 15:20 |
| jhobbs | i can't find anything | 15:25 |
| jhobbs | that sucks | 15:25 |
| jhobbs | enlistment makes maas aware of the node, commissioning does some hardware inventory | 15:25 |
| jhobbs | gotta run for a bit | 15:25 |
| === med_ is now known as Guest26240 | ||
| onicrom | any takes on 'curtin' | 15:33 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: it's the fastpath installer | 15:37 |
| jhobbs | onicrom: it's default in newer maas's - it's all i ever use | 15:37 |
| onicrom | intttersting | 15:40 |
| onicrom | how does customization work in this new fancy faster method | 15:40 |
| rbasak | It's designed to be very customisable | 15:41 |
| rbasak | See: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~curtin-dev/curtin/trunk/view/head:/doc/topics/overview.rst | 15:41 |
| rbasak | You can pretty much replace everything. | 15:42 |
| onicrom | cool i shall readup | 15:42 |
| onicrom | does 14.04's maas pkg get upgraded as releases go stable (1.5->1.6) or is that a more manual process? | 15:50 |
| onicrom | by 'get upgraded' i mean apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade if more appropriate | 15:50 |
| jhobbs | you can apt-get upgrade mas | 15:53 |
| jhobbs | *maas | 15:53 |
| jhobbs | it will pick up whatever the latest release for trusty is | 15:54 |
| jhobbs | as long as that's what you're running | 15:54 |
| onicrom | will trusty upgrade to mewer point releases? | 15:57 |
| onicrom | rather... be upgraded to. | 15:57 |
| jhobbs | hmm i think roadmap questions are above my paygrade | 15:58 |
| jhobbs | you can always pin to a newer version if you want to though | 15:58 |
| onicrom | nods | 16:04 |
| onicrom | btw | 16:04 |
| onicrom | damn fine job on this thing | 16:04 |
| onicrom | ive setup my fair share of build systems from scratch with jump/kickstart | 16:04 |
| onicrom | all the annoying stuff is taken care of, just need to sort out the customizations :) | 16:05 |
| jhobbs | glad you like it and thanks for the feedback! | 16:06 |
| jhobbs | bugs on any issues or annoyances you run into are welcome | 16:06 |
| onicrom | well i have 2 data centers im building out (~40 servers) so im going to be diving real deep :) | 16:15 |
| onicrom | does maas read all files in /etc/maas/preseeds? ... if i 'backup' the files in /etc/maas/preseeds (as in /etc/maas/preseeds/preseed_master.dist) will it do badness? | 17:13 |

| onicrom | looks like the installer output is not being sent to my serial console .. the commissioning is sent to serial console but the install is not | 19:11 |
| onicrom | hrms | 19:11 |
