[00:01] 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] oh boy [00:01] well [00:01] right now my region controller can't see the cluster controller [00:01] i've rebooted both [00:02] did the dpkg-reconfigure maas-cluster-controller on the cluster controller [00:02] but they still arent talking [00:03] https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqm2jcppt13ctzx/Screenshot%202015-02-17%2018.03.16.png?dl=0 [00:04] they can ping each other [00:04] what is tnewman3 - region controller? [00:05] thats .2 [00:05] you have two cluster controllers there. [00:05] hmm [00:05] .2 should be the region controller, right? [00:05] .2 is the region controller [00:05] yes [00:06] and .3 is the cluster controller [00:06] tnewman4 is not connected. [00:06] what is tnewman4? [00:07] yeah tnewman4, 192.168.0.3, is the cluster controller [00:08] before both the region and cluster controllers would show up under the 'Clusters' tab [00:08] and they still do [00:09] but for some reason tnewman3 isnt connecting to tnewman4 [00:09] The clusters tab should only show cluster controllers. [00:09] hmm [00:09] alright well i deleted tnewman 3 [00:09] I would keep it actually. [00:09] poop [00:10] hmm [00:10] so that both cluster and region controllers are on the same node. [00:10] hmm [00:10] well [00:10] that's how I have been deploying them. [00:10] but it's up to you. [00:10] region and cluster controller are the same node? [00:11] They *can be* on the same node. [00:11] uhuh [00:11] well right now my problem is i have a nonfunctioning cluster ctroller on my region controller :D [00:12] I guess you renamed the cluster controller as region controller, but it's a cluster controller. [00:13] i see [00:13] well [00:13] how do i delete it and re-add it [00:13] 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. [00:14] alright [00:14] well [00:14] right now the tnewman4 is a stub [00:14] i can't delete it because i can't connect to it [00:15] Error: Unable to connect to cluster 'tnewman4 - cluster controller' (1b03b5d4-ff03-4178-bdeb-4340cf2238bc); no connections available. [00:16] ok. leave it as is then. Hopefully it won't compete to offer IP addresses. [00:16] or you can shut down eth1 on .3. [00:17] i just turned it off [00:18] uuung i got this all screwed up [00:18] possible to reinitialize the maas installation? [00:18] i'll just keep everything on one node [00:18] region, cluster, juju when the time comes [00:19] but right now if i could just reinstall the region controller and the cluster controller with clean everything tht'd be awesome [00:19] yeah, reinstall 14.04 server base and install maas from the maas-mainstainers/stable ppa should take ~10 minutes? [00:19] alrighty then [00:20] does 1.7 come automatically with 14.10? [00:20] there may be an easier way to do it. but I don't know any other way. [00:20] yeah [00:20] no biggie [00:20] no, 1.7.1 is released recently. [00:21] ah [00:21] you have to get it from the same ppa on 14.10, too. [00:21] gotcha [00:22] is this something that canonical is going to develop the hell out of? [00:23] not just a flash in the pan [00:24] I think we are pretty serious about it. :) [00:26] yeeeeah :D [00:26] again, suuuper appreciate the time today [00:27] i work for a hosting company in a data center [00:27] we have a provisioning tool we call daris [00:27] not sure if thats an industry standard or anything [00:28] but for us, right now, it only does centos 6.5 provisions [00:28] which isnt so bad, because most of our provisions are for centos 6.5 [00:29] travnewmatic: what brings you to MAAS? [00:29] but thats not going to work indefinitely [00:29] uuuum curiousity [00:29] a potential alternative to our existing provisioning server [00:30] great, I though you may have seen this https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/14/bare-metal-magic-at-the-open-compute-summit/ [00:33] i had not, but thats really flipping cool [00:34] 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] and other linux distros as well [00:34] well what do you suggest my next step would be [00:34] how do you use it in the real world [00:35] I haven't tried that myself. Would be interesting to find out the experience of deploying non-Ubuntu images. [00:35] well from what i've read supposedly it is possible [00:36] I don't work in a data center, I do not have experience as data center admin. [00:37] mhm [00:37] https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/20/maas-1-7-one-maas-multiple-operating-systems/ [00:41] well what is your role with maas [00:41] are you a developer? [00:43] I work with hardware vendors and MAAS team to help make sure MAAS can provision hardware. [00:43] that sounds fancy [00:43] IPMI isn't the only power control type we support. [00:43] yeah i noticed that in the old menu [00:43] there are quite a few [01:09] reinstalled, updated to 1.7, created the superuser, rebooting [01:13] dhcp and dns config stuff [01:13] now lets get this image importation party started! === catbus1 is now known as catbus1-afk [01:51] Feb 17 19:50:21 tnewman3 maas.api: [ERROR] timely-bell.local: Timed out wait [01:51] ing for power response in Node.power_state [01:59] maybe we've got some funky stuff in our ipmi's [02:09] catbus1-afk, yeah not sure what the deal is but maas still doesnt have control over startup and shutdown of my 1950 [02:29] catbus1-afk, reset the DRAC to see if that will have any effect [02:33] no dice :( [02:33] Feb 17 20:33:27 tnewman3 maas.api: [ERROR] ripe-believe.local: Timed out wai [02:33] ting for power response in Node.power_state [02:34] alright i'm out for the night, thanks yall so much for the help, i'll come back to this tomorrow, yall have a great rest of the day! [14:50] catbus1-afk, why was he using 1.5? === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk === catbus1-afk is now known as catbus1 [16:27] kiko: he used ubuntu server boot media to install maas. [16:32] catbus1, ugh, we need to fix that too === roadmr_afk is now known as roadmr === melmoth_ is now known as melmoth [16:47] hey guys [16:47] hey dimitern [16:47] is it feasible to even try to run a ppc64el kvm in maas? [16:48] dimitern, I think it has actually been done before [16:48] 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? [16:49] dimitern, you want to create a ppc kvm instance on a ppc machine or on an x86 machine? [16:49] travnewmatic: Hi, I'd check if IPMI is enabled on your dell machine with: ipmipower -h -u -p --stat. If it's responding, I suggest you add a comment to bug 1321885 to report regression. [16:49] 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] kiko, the latter [16:49] dimitern, does that work standalone today or is that your question? [16:49] kiko, on my amd64 trusty laptop [16:50] that would be somewhat unrelated to maas itself :) [16:50] kiko, that's my question :) should I even try [16:50] ah [16:50] 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 [16:51] you can if the qemu/kvm instance runs at all [16:51] catbus1, okie dokie [16:51] kiko, ok, that's at least something - I'll keep digging then [16:52] cheers! [16:52] dimitern, I was asking slangasek [16:52] but no answer yet [17:40] 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] dimitern, ^^ [17:41] 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) [17:42] 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] that was after setting the cpu type to POWER8_1.0 or something [17:49] dimitern, hmm, dunno if that's a rtfm or that you're using an old version of what [17:52] kiko, I'll look more into it, anyway - thanks for your help :) [18:15] catbus1, i'll take a look at it in a sec, but does the ipmi port respond to pings when the server is off? [18:16] travnewmatic: I am not sure. Sure it should respond to ipmi requests. [18:19] whether it responds to pings depends on bmc firmware. [18:22] gotcha [20:25] hi [20:26] 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 === roadmr is now known as roadmr_afk === roadmr_afk is now known as roadmr [22:23] so maybe it works [22:23] changed a setting in the DRAC config [22:23] but when i hit commission [22:23] the machine starts back up [22:23] but then just bootloops [22:24] gets halfway through the bios and then shuts down and restarts [22:25] brb lunch [22:32] travnewmatic, that's interesting [22:49] well it did ultimately stop the bootloop [22:49] when i got back it was hanging on what nic port it should pxe boot from
