[11:33] Made it to internet at last. [11:33] gmb: Hello! [11:39] Hola === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver [11:57] allenap: Do you need any help with the celery->RPC work? [11:57] Or rather: I'm free, Mr Humphries; what can I help with? === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver [13:52] * gmb -> Location switch; bbiab === alexpilotti_ is now known as alexpilotti === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver === gmb`` is now known as gmb [16:07] allenap: I’d like to help with the RPC work; is there any reason I can’t start with the “periodically report boot images” task? [16:08] (although I have no idea how to do peridoic RPC tasks without celerybeat) === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver [17:15] question... im seeing the following error in my maas.log [17:15] ERROR 2014-08-06 13:08:35,490 maasserver ################################ Exception: {u'mac_addresses': [u'One or more MAC addresses is invalid.']} ################################ [17:15] not sure how it could be invalid, it pxe booted and its the actual mac === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk [17:59] i think i figured it out [17:59] maas is expecting the mac to have upper case letters. [17:59] (which is not that obvious) [18:13] gmb: Sure, that’s a good one. [18:15] onicrom: That sounds like a bug; MAAS should allow both, or at least normalise automatically. I’ll file a bug. [18:19] onicrom: Was there any more detail to that error message? [18:20] filed [18:20] onicrom: Thanks! I’d just seen that seconds ago. [18:20] allenap: its weird when i entered it using all caps the comissioning would fail [18:21] when i entered it lowercase [18:21] the maas.log would error [18:21] the UI seems to display lowercase either way [18:22] im now running into a weird issue with the dell.. i use serial over lan and as soon as the install gets to a certain point the drac remote management ip becomes unresponsive until i reboot the machine [18:27] blake_r, newell, jhobbs: ^ [18:28] allenap, howdy [18:28] also unlreated question... what is maas using iscsi for? [18:28] allenap, do you have bug number? [18:29] actually nm, I will look on launchpad [18:30] newell: I was pointing you to the Dell issue onicrom is having. [18:30] yeah I see the bug now [18:31] oh so not the bug? [18:31] okay [18:31] (im less concerned about the bug i filed as i figured out the nuance) [18:32] i think it might have something to do with my preseed file as i started messing with the storage... but in either case i dont see why the dell's management interface becomes unresponse :( [18:33] onicrom: do you have to reboot the system manually? [18:33] onicrom, can you pastebin your console output? [18:33] jhobbs: i have a kvm remote console which i can three finger solute [18:34] onicrom: it should reboot automatically after an install [18:34] which works and the DRAC responds as soon as the reboot is initiated [18:34] jhobbs: i doesnt actually start the install actually [18:34] it get stuck at the kernl booting screen before the install is initiated. [18:34] hmm [18:35] just happened again :( appears to be unlreated to my preseed as i restored the default [18:35] ooh weird.... the dhcp ip is pingable [18:35] are you passing serial console parameters on the kernel command line? [18:35] but my console (kvm and serial) has stopping printing [18:36] u am [18:36] *i am [18:36] but i have remote kvm too so i can watch watch would be on a monitor [18:36] console=ttyS0 and console=tty0 too? [18:36] yes [18:36] console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8 [18:36] onicrom, anytime I have run into that issue it is because I wasn't passing the correct kernel parameters that jhobbs is mentioning [18:36] to be exact [18:37] how are you passing them? [18:37] in the global kernel params [18:37] i see all the comissioning happen [18:37] ah ok [18:37] via console (and tty0) [18:37] are you doing a fastpath install or a debian installer install? [18:37] if it's fastpath, it's the same kernel/initrd as commissioning uses [18:38] debian [18:38] it'd be worth trying fastpath to see if it's specific to the d-i kernel [18:39] i can certainly give that a try i want to see if the install actually works (i probably botched the last presee file) [18:39] k [18:39] the machine is still pingable on its actual interface the drac is still offline :( [18:39] ive noticed that with cd based installs too [18:39] when it goes to 'discover' the network devices [18:40] we test with a lot of dell/drac systems on a very regular basis [18:40] drac management interface goes offline [18:40] i don't remember seeing that kind of behavior before [18:40] i am using the ghetto drac6e [18:40] so its using a 'shared' interface it doesnt have a dedicated nic [18:40] ahh [18:40] sound ripe for kernel/firmware interaction bugs [18:40] ineed [18:41] *indeed [18:41] i cant complain tooo much [18:41] x5670 x 2 96GB ram 6x600G drives with bbu raid card [18:41] for like 3k [18:41] i bought 20 of them for this openstack poc :) [18:41] i mean i can always complain haha [18:42] i digress... i am still at a loss as to why my rmeote kvm is stuck at a kernel boot message though [18:50] is the kvm via drac or separte? [18:50] separate [18:52] if you're seeing stuff in CD installs too it's likely not a MAAS specific issue though [18:53] you might try #ubuntu-kernel or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs for those [18:55] kvm is separate === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver [18:57] does pxelinux print the kernel command line parameters for you prior to trying to boot linux? [18:57] might be worth double checking that console=tty0 is still there [18:57] it did [18:57] i saw it in both [18:57] dang [18:57] the host is still not booting but its in some state... [18:58] i cant ssh in (con refused) [18:58] drac not reachable and kvm shows boot message that is stale... [18:58] id really like to see wtf is going on lol [18:58] the install should ber finished but its possible its still going i gues... [18:58] ssh would be up if the install finished, the system would reboot afterwards [18:59] but then it wouldn't have an IP if it hung at early linux boot [18:59] wouldn't respond to pings i mean [18:59] a reboot would re-enable drac [18:59] exactly :) its in some weird state [18:59] you could try adding earlyprintk to the command line parameters === roadmr_afk is now known as roadmr [19:00] but.. if it gets far enough to get an ip that's past earlyprintk time [19:00] btw... what is iscsi used for? [19:00] "ephemeral" booting [19:01] during enlistment, commissioning, install, nodes boot up via pxe and then mount iscsi for their root filesystem, with a ram only overlay [19:01] fastpath install that is, not d-i [19:01] what about d-i? [19:01] d-i is all contained in the initrd [19:01] gotcha [19:02] ok i will try fast path on another node which i have kvm/serial (i only have 4 devices on kvm the rest are serial only :() [19:03] hopefully that works, it's a lot better imo anyhow [19:08] i need to figure out how to customize that install :) [19:09] yeah it's something new to learn, but has the huge advantage of having a rich ubuntu environment during install [19:10] well...i dont know the debian installer either [19:10] d-i is on top of busybox [19:10] i was starting to play with that i have no bias [19:10] no python, not even perl, i think you don't even get awk [19:10] maybe sed [19:11] ok fingers crossed building another box with fast now [19:11] well good luck, i'm off for the night [19:12] wooo [19:12] jhobbs: its working! [19:20] any docs around on customizing the install via fastpath [19:25] onicrom: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~curtin-dev/curtin/trunk/view/head:/doc/topics/overview.rst === jfarschman is now known as MilesDenver [19:47] thanks rbasak [22:17] what exactly is maas telling me to fix when it says: Unable to get RPC connection for cluster 'master' === menn0_ is now known as menn0 === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:17] lamont: clusters and region appserver threads attempt to maintain bidirectional connections, without which maas won't work properly. It's possible you are firewalled since they currently use high-numbered ports for this. [23:20] who creates the connection, I wonder? [23:30] rbasak: im looking to create a customized partition table, are there more specific exaples to configure curtin
