SlaanHi !11:01
SlaanI use MAAS 1.7 and juju11:03
SlaanAll work fine, it's magic :)11:03
Slaani have one machine with maas, and one node bootstrapped by juju11:03
Slaanand all work fine11:04
Slaani want to add a new node now. Maas can show it, and the commissioning is fine11:04
Slaandid u know how can i add it to juju now ?11:04
Slaani don't find it when i lauche "juju status"11:05
Slaanlaunch*11:05
Slaanif i start "juju add-machine negligible-band.maas", i got " error: malformed container argument "negligible-band.maas""11:06
Slaanand for "juju add-machine ssh:negligible-band.maas", i got : " ERROR rc: 255 (ssh: Could not resolve hostname negligible-band.maas: Name or service not known) "11:07
Slaanok i found. Just "juju add-machine" and boot it :)11:42

sbtechcomanyone have experience running maas with HP blade nodes? I can't seem to get maas to recognize the logical drives from the hp smart array17:44
sbtechcomNobody?18:13
newellsbtechcom, MAAS supports HP iLO but not sure about HP smart array18:55
sbtechcomgotcha, so that pretty well rules out all HP blades and enterprise servers...18:58
designatedIf I update a user provided preseed in the format of "{prefix}_{node_architecture}_{node_subarchitecture}_{release}_{node_name}", should those changes be reflected immediately within the maas GUI by viewing that node's preseed?18:59
sbtechcomto my understanding anyways.. have to check to see if they have a direct controller that doesn't do raid18:59
jhobbssbtechcom: is this hpvsa or hpdsa or something?19:00
sbtechcomit's using hpwdt driver right now19:03
sbtechcomnm19:04
sbtechcomthat's the ilo... still looking19:04
sbtechcomcciss driver is being used on the controller array. This is all default MaaS. I have a feeling I need to do some modifications to load the correct drivers to talk to lvm but am really not sure now to go about doing it19:05
sbtechcomthis any help as to what is happening? Stderr: u'lsblk: /dev/cciss!c0d1: not a block device\n'19:17
sbtechcomlooks like some sort of enumeration error when listing out devices from the cciss driver19:18

designateddoes anyone have a few minutes to help me figure out why my user provided preseeds aren't working in MAAS 1.7?19:30
jhobbsdesignated: you may need to restart apache, i don't recall19:31
jhobbssbtechcom: where would lvm be coming into play?19:31
jhobbsdesignated: looks like the pattern is now {prefix}_{osystem}_{node_arch}_{node_subarch}_{release}_{node_name}19:33
designatedjhobbs: where did you find that documentation?  http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs1.7/development/preseeds.html shows something different19:35
jhobbsin the code :(19:35
jhobbsdoc is out of date, submitting a patch right now19:35
designatedgreat...bitten again by shitty documentation. :/19:36
designatedjhobbs: thank you for your help.19:36
sbtechcomgotcha, so I used the debian installer to deploy a node and I don't get that error so I am not sure if it actually relates to how the information is discovered by maas19:37
jhobbssbtechcom: where exactly are you seeing that error? and when?19:38
jhobbsdesignated: you're welcome19:38
designatedjhobbs: do you know the syntax for {osystem}?19:39
jhobbsi think it's just 'ubuntu'19:39
jhobbsubuntu19:39
sbtechcomjhobbs: that error occurs when acquiring and starting a node using the fast installer, using the debian installer I don't get the error.19:39
jhobbsblake_r: ^^ ?19:39
sbtechcomreal issue here is that MaaS does not see two disks so the openstack installer in landscape won't accept the nodes as valid19:41
bladernr_Hey, where's the documentation on adding custom images?  I've been looking at the CLI reference at mass.ubuntu for trunk and 1.7 and can't find anything19:45
sbtechcomjhobbs: once I have ubuntu loaded on the node Ubuntu (on the actual node) sees both disks just fine, MaaS still does not list them however and lists that same error in the installation log19:47
thebozzHey guys, I'm having a very weird problem comissioning some servers into our cluster.19:49
designatedif anyone is interested, I finally got the user provided preseeds to update in MAAS 1.7 by using the following: preseed_master_ubuntu_amd64_generic_trusty_{hostname}.{domain}19:49
designatedcommissioning or enlist no longer appear to be valid prefixes19:51
designatedbut I may be wrong about that one, it didn't work for me19:51
thebozzOur whole cluster is connected to a dedicated switch. Most of our machines are comissioned just fine, but  two of them fail every time. However, if they're connected *directly* (that is, not by the switch, but directly NIC to NIC by a single cable) they comission just fine. We tried different cables and switch ports, but it didn't work. What mystifies me the most is that the other machines work. What could be causing this?19:52
jhobbsthebozz: does you switch have STP enabled?19:53
jhobbsthebozz: sometimes it delays a port coming up long enough to prevent pxe boot from working19:54
roadmr^^ but in that case they also wouldn't enlist, right?19:54
jhobbs yeah i don't see why it'd be different for commissioning vs enlistment19:54
jhobbsmaybe they enlisted manually19:55
roadmroh that may be...19:55
thebozzDunno the answer to that, let me ask.19:55
thebozzjhobbs: with STP you mean 'spanning tree protocol'?20:03
jhobbsyea20:04
thebozzYep, it's enabled.20:04
jhobbsi bet that's the problem20:04
jhobbsyou can either configure the nodes to only pxe boot, and to retry after a failure20:05
thebozzAlright! I'll turn it off and try again.20:05
jhobbsin their bios20:05
jhobbsor yeah turn it off or enable portfast20:05
jhobbssbtechcom: so i'm not really sure what's going on for you- can you file a bug?20:05
thebozzHaha same suggestion I'm getting at ##networking.20:07
thebozzWhich would be best?20:07
sbtechcomjhobbs: I can, thanks for your help!20:08
roadmrthebozz: hehe that's probably a question for your network admin, if he needs STP, then you need to configure the retry. If STP is not needed, disabling it would be easier as there's no per-node config to do20:12
thebozzI will talk to him then, and check what he thinks is best. The switch is dedicated to the cluster, so whatever we do won't affect the rest of the network anyway.20:13
jhobbsSTP is funny like that - if it's disabled and you create a loop it can very well bring down the rest of the network20:19
* jhobbs has done it before20:19
thebozzIt worked! jhobbs, you da man!20:23
jhobbsthebozz: hooray!20:25
thebozzBTW, we're having another issue with how MAAS detects hard drives... it only shows the capacity of the first drive on each machine. We set each drive on a single-drive RAID0... did we mess up?20:32
jhobbsthebozz: what version of MAAS are you using? even very recent MAAS versions have issues detecting storage correctly20:33
thebozz1.7.020:37
jhobbsyeah so - 1.7.1 should fix that20:38
thebozzBTW, what does it mean if it doesn't detect the storage size correctly? Will we not be able to use that storage?20:39
roaksoaxthebozz: it is just an issue of display, not really underlying20:39
roadmrwill it be an issue if you want to deploy to a node with X storage (juju deploy --constraints="disk=XXX") and maas doesn't think the node fits the constraint?20:40
thebozzAlright, seems we're good to go.20:40
jhobbsroadmr: yeah that too20:41
jhobbsone can work around it by setting storage size for nodes manually though20:41
roadmryes, that's true20:41
roaksoaxyup20:41
roaksoaxbut after upgrade to 1.7.120:41
roaksoaxyou should just be able to recommission20:41
roaksoaxand that's it20:41
roaksoaxI'll be releasing 1.7.1rc1 in ~30 mins20:41
roadmr\o/ cool!20:43
thebozzLast question: is it acceptable to just put every disk in its own single-drive RAID0? We couldn't get some machines to detect the drives unless we did that.20:43
jhobbsthebozz: that should be fine20:46
thebozzjhobbs, are you still there? I need your magic powers again...21:24
jhobbshi thebozz21:24
thebozzHi, long time no see, haha.21:24
thebozzSo we comissioned the whole cluster without a hitch, then tried to deploy OpenStack on top of it. My boss says he used the automatic deployment (whatever that means, I wasn't involved in the installation). After a while, it says "A fatal error has occurred: Problem with juju bootstrap." The commands.log file says this about it: http://pastebin.com/JFC02xyn21:26
thebozzSorry, forgot to enter the captcha before sending the link. If you couldn't open it try now.21:28
jhobbsthebozz: that node should have an install log in MAAS - can you have a look at it there and see what it says?21:30
jhobbsthebozz: also i'd recommend trying out deploy nodes manually with maas before using juju/openstack installer, just to make sure the maas layer is working fine21:30
thebozzThe log doesn't contain any errors, but I copied it anyway: http://pastebin.com/zKi32etS21:31
jhobbscan you ssh into the system yourself?21:34
thebozzNope, seems it turned itself off.21:37
thebozzYeah, the server's off.21:38
jhobbsso if i were you i would check maas by itself first - make sure you can deploy nodes and ssh into them21:39
jhobbsthen check juju & maas - make sure you can bootstrap with it21:40
jhobbsthen move onto openstack21:40
thebozzNope. I tried acquiring and starting two nodes - the one from before and another, and I can't SSH into any of them.21:46
thebozzThe first one shows pretty much the same install log as before. The second one, however, says this: http://pastebin.com/p8ufNY2L21:48
thebozzGotta go now. I'll take a better look at this tomorrow and check if I can understand this better.21:54
marcoceppiHello, I don't see boot-sources anymore in the 1.7 maas.22:04
marcoceppiwhat was this replaced with?22:04
designatedDoes anyone know what I need to put in the preseed to answer NO to "The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code. This partition should be marked for use as “Reserved BIOS boot area” and should be at least 1 MB in size."23:40
