| catbus1 | travnewmatic: you can install juju-core anywhere, in the ~/.juju/environments.yaml, you will tell Juju where to find MAAS and provide the MAAS API key in order to communicate with MAAS. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| travnewmatic | oh boy | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | well | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | right now my region controller can't see the cluster controller | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | i've rebooted both | 00:01 |
| travnewmatic | did the dpkg-reconfigure maas-cluster-controller on the cluster controller | 00:02 |
| travnewmatic | but they still arent talking | 00:02 |
| travnewmatic | https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqm2jcppt13ctzx/Screenshot%202015-02-17%2018.03.16.png?dl=0 | 00:03 |
| travnewmatic | they can ping each other | 00:04 |
| catbus1 | what is tnewman3 - region controller? | 00:04 |
| travnewmatic | thats .2 | 00:05 |
| catbus1 | you have two cluster controllers there. | 00:05 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:05 |
| catbus1 | .2 should be the region controller, right? | 00:05 |
| travnewmatic | .2 is the region controller | 00:05 |
| travnewmatic | yes | 00:05 |
| travnewmatic | and .3 is the cluster controller | 00:06 |
| catbus1 | tnewman4 is not connected. | 00:06 |
| catbus1 | what is tnewman4? | 00:06 |
| travnewmatic | yeah tnewman4, 192.168.0.3, is the cluster controller | 00:07 |
| travnewmatic | before both the region and cluster controllers would show up under the 'Clusters' tab | 00:08 |
| travnewmatic | and they still do | 00:08 |
| travnewmatic | but for some reason tnewman3 isnt connecting to tnewman4 | 00:09 |
| catbus1 | The clusters tab should only show cluster controllers. | 00:09 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:09 |
| travnewmatic | alright well i deleted tnewman 3 | 00:09 |
| catbus1 | I would keep it actually. | 00:09 |
| travnewmatic | poop | 00:09 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:10 |
| catbus1 | so that both cluster and region controllers are on the same node. | 00:10 |
| travnewmatic | hmm | 00:10 |
| travnewmatic | well | 00:10 |
| catbus1 | that's how I have been deploying them. | 00:10 |
| catbus1 | but it's up to you. | 00:10 |
| travnewmatic | region and cluster controller are the same node? | 00:10 |
| catbus1 | They *can be* on the same node. | 00:11 |
| travnewmatic | uhuh | 00:11 |
| travnewmatic | well right now my problem is i have a nonfunctioning cluster ctroller on my region controller :D | 00:11 |
| catbus1 | I guess you renamed the cluster controller as region controller, but it's a cluster controller. | 00:12 |
| travnewmatic | i see | 00:13 |
| travnewmatic | well | 00:13 |
| travnewmatic | how do i delete it and re-add it | 00:13 |
| catbus1 | I'd use tnewman3 as the cluster controller since it's already connected, make sure images are imported fine, configure tnewman3 to manage DHCP and DNS. Remove DHCP and DNS services from tnewman4. | 00:13 |
| travnewmatic | alright | 00:14 |
| travnewmatic | well | 00:14 |
| travnewmatic | right now the tnewman4 is a stub | 00:14 |
| travnewmatic | i can't delete it because i can't connect to it | 00:14 |
| travnewmatic | Error: Unable to connect to cluster 'tnewman4 - cluster controller' (1b03b5d4-ff03-4178-bdeb-4340cf2238bc); no connections available. | 00:15 |
| catbus1 | ok. leave it as is then. Hopefully it won't compete to offer IP addresses. | 00:16 |
| catbus1 | or you can shut down eth1 on .3. | 00:16 |
| travnewmatic | i just turned it off | 00:17 |
| travnewmatic | uuung i got this all screwed up | 00:18 |
| travnewmatic | possible to reinitialize the maas installation? | 00:18 |
| travnewmatic | i'll just keep everything on one node | 00:18 |
| travnewmatic | region, cluster, juju when the time comes | 00:18 |
| travnewmatic | but right now if i could just reinstall the region controller and the cluster controller with clean everything tht'd be awesome | 00:19 |
| catbus1 | yeah, reinstall 14.04 server base and install maas from the maas-mainstainers/stable ppa should take ~10 minutes? | 00:19 |
| travnewmatic | alrighty then | 00:19 |
| travnewmatic | does 1.7 come automatically with 14.10? | 00:20 |
| catbus1 | there may be an easier way to do it. but I don't know any other way. | 00:20 |
| travnewmatic | yeah | 00:20 |
| travnewmatic | no biggie | 00:20 |
| catbus1 | no, 1.7.1 is released recently. | 00:20 |
| travnewmatic | ah | 00:21 |
| catbus1 | you have to get it from the same ppa on 14.10, too. | 00:21 |
| travnewmatic | gotcha | 00:21 |
| travnewmatic | is this something that canonical is going to develop the hell out of? | 00:22 |
| travnewmatic | not just a flash in the pan | 00:23 |
| catbus1 | I think we are pretty serious about it. :) | 00:24 |
| travnewmatic | yeeeeah :D | 00:26 |
| travnewmatic | again, suuuper appreciate the time today | 00:26 |
| travnewmatic | i work for a hosting company in a data center | 00:27 |
| travnewmatic | we have a provisioning tool we call daris | 00:27 |
| travnewmatic | not sure if thats an industry standard or anything | 00:27 |
| travnewmatic | but for us, right now, it only does centos 6.5 provisions | 00:28 |
| travnewmatic | which isnt so bad, because most of our provisions are for centos 6.5 | 00:28 |
| catbus1 | travnewmatic: what brings you to MAAS? | 00:29 |
| travnewmatic | but thats not going to work indefinitely | 00:29 |
| travnewmatic | uuuum curiousity | 00:29 |
| travnewmatic | a potential alternative to our existing provisioning server | 00:29 |
| catbus1 | great, I though you may have seen this https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/14/bare-metal-magic-at-the-open-compute-summit/ | 00:30 |
| travnewmatic | i had not, but thats really flipping cool | 00:33 |
| travnewmatic | i think once i get this up and working, the next thing to do would be to figure out how to add non ubuntu images to the server | 00:34 |
| travnewmatic | and other linux distros as well | 00:34 |
| travnewmatic | well what do you suggest my next step would be | 00:34 |
| travnewmatic | how do you use it in the real world | 00:34 |
| catbus1 | I haven't tried that myself. Would be interesting to find out the experience of deploying non-Ubuntu images. | 00:35 |
| travnewmatic | well from what i've read supposedly it is possible | 00:35 |
| catbus1 | I don't work in a data center, I do not have experience as data center admin. | 00:36 |
| travnewmatic | mhm | 00:37 |
| travnewmatic | https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/20/maas-1-7-one-maas-multiple-operating-systems/ | 00:37 |
| travnewmatic | well what is your role with maas | 00:41 |
| travnewmatic | are you a developer? | 00:41 |
| catbus1 | I work with hardware vendors and MAAS team to help make sure MAAS can provision hardware. | 00:43 |
| travnewmatic | that sounds fancy | 00:43 |
| catbus1 | IPMI isn't the only power control type we support. | 00:43 |
| travnewmatic | yeah i noticed that in the old menu | 00:43 |
| travnewmatic | there are quite a few | 00:43 |
| travnewmatic | reinstalled, updated to 1.7, created the superuser, rebooting | 01:09 |
| travnewmatic | dhcp and dns config stuff | 01:13 |
| travnewmatic | now lets get this image importation party started! | 01:13 |

| travnewmatic | maybe we've got some funky stuff in our ipmi's | 01:59 |
| travnewmatic | catbus1-afk, yeah not sure what the deal is but maas still doesnt have control over startup and shutdown of my 1950 | 02:09 |
| travnewmatic | catbus1-afk, reset the DRAC to see if that will have any effect | 02:29 |
| travnewmatic | no dice :( | 02:33 |

| === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk | ||
| === catbus1-afk is now known as catbus1 | ||
| catbus1 | kiko: he used ubuntu server boot media to install maas. | 16:27 |

| dimitern | hey guys | 16:47 |
| kiko | hey dimitern | 16:47 |
| dimitern | is it feasible to even try to run a ppc64el kvm in maas? | 16:47 |
| kiko | dimitern, I think it has actually been done before | 16:48 |
| dimitern | kiko, I mean I can see and download the ppc64el images from the maas ui, but how to setup a ppc kvm for maas to commission? | 16:48 |
| kiko | dimitern, you want to create a ppc kvm instance on a ppc machine or on an x86 machine? | 16:49 |
| catbus1 | travnewmatic: Hi, I'd check if IPMI is enabled on your dell machine with: ipmipower -h <bmc ip address> -u <bmc username> -p <bmc password> --stat. If it's responding, I suggest you add a comment to bug 1321885 to report regression. | 16:49 |
| ubot5 | bug 1321885 in openipmi (Ubuntu) "IPMI detection and automatic setting fail in Ubuntu 14.04 maas" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1321885 | 16:49 |
| dimitern | kiko, the latter | 16:49 |
| kiko | dimitern, does that work standalone today or is that your question? | 16:49 |
| dimitern | kiko, on my amd64 trusty laptop | 16:49 |
| kiko | that would be somewhat unrelated to maas itself :) | 16:50 |
| dimitern | kiko, that's my question :) should I even try | 16:50 |
| kiko | ah | 16:50 |
| dimitern | kiko, fair enough it's not quite maas related, but I thought maybe I can configure my local kvm-based maas somehow to make this work | 16:50 |
| kiko | you can if the qemu/kvm instance runs at all | 16:51 |
| travnewmatic | catbus1, okie dokie | 16:51 |
| dimitern | kiko, ok, that's at least something - I'll keep digging then | 16:51 |
| dimitern | cheers! | 16:52 |
| kiko | dimitern, I was asking slangasek | 16:52 |
| kiko | but no answer yet | 16:52 |
| kiko | <slangasek> kiko: I believe that ppc64el qemu system emulation works cross-platform; I wouldn't call that "kvm" though since it's of course not accelerated | 17:40 |
| kiko | dimitern, ^^ | 17:40 |
| dimitern | kiko, thanks; I've tried creating a ppc64 VM using qemu as hypervisor and faced various issues (video driver needed to change to "vga" from "cirrus", few other things as well) | 17:41 |
| dimitern | kiko, ultimately I got an error like "unsupported configuration: guest and host CPU are not compatible: host CPU vendor does not match required CPU vendor IBM" | 17:42 |
| dimitern | that was after setting the cpu type to POWER8_1.0 or something | 17:42 |
| kiko | dimitern, hmm, dunno if that's a rtfm or that you're using an old version of what | 17:49 |
| dimitern | kiko, I'll look more into it, anyway - thanks for your help :) | 17:52 |
| travnewmatic | catbus1, i'll take a look at it in a sec, but does the ipmi port respond to pings when the server is off? | 18:15 |
| catbus1 | travnewmatic: I am not sure. Sure it should respond to ipmi requests. | 18:16 |
| catbus1 | whether it responds to pings depends on bmc firmware. | 18:19 |
| travnewmatic | gotcha | 18:22 |
| CompanionCube | hi | 20:25 |
| CompanionCube | I'm trying MAAS out with VMWare Player and while a node acquires a DHCP IP, it fails to connect to a TFTP server so it does not boot | 20:26 |
| === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk | ||
| === roadmr_afk is now known as roadmr | ||
| travnewmatic | so maybe it works | 22:23 |
| travnewmatic | changed a setting in the DRAC config | 22:23 |
| travnewmatic | but when i hit commission | 22:23 |
| travnewmatic | the machine starts back up | 22:23 |
| travnewmatic | but then just bootloops | 22:23 |
| travnewmatic | gets halfway through the bios and then shuts down and restarts | 22:24 |
| travnewmatic | brb lunch | 22:25 |
| kiko | travnewmatic, that's interesting | 22:32 |
| travnewmatic | well it did ultimately stop the bootloop | 22:49 |
| travnewmatic | when i got back it was hanging on what nic port it should pxe boot from | 22:49 |
