[00:01] <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
[00:02] <travnewmatic> did the dpkg-reconfigure maas-cluster-controller on the cluster controller
[00:02] <travnewmatic> but they still arent talking
[00:03] <travnewmatic> https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqm2jcppt13ctzx/Screenshot%202015-02-17%2018.03.16.png?dl=0
[00:04] <travnewmatic> they can ping each other
[00:04] <catbus1> what is tnewman3 - region controller?
[00:05] <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
[00:06] <travnewmatic> and .3 is the cluster controller
[00:06] <catbus1> tnewman4 is not connected.
[00:06] <catbus1> what is tnewman4?
[00:07] <travnewmatic> yeah tnewman4, 192.168.0.3, is the cluster controller
[00:08] <travnewmatic> before both the region and cluster controllers would show up under the 'Clusters' tab
[00:08] <travnewmatic> and they still do
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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?
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <catbus1> I guess you renamed the cluster controller as region controller, but it's a cluster controller.
[00:13] <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.
[00:14] <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
[00:15] <travnewmatic> Error: Unable to connect to cluster 'tnewman4 - cluster controller' (1b03b5d4-ff03-4178-bdeb-4340cf2238bc); no connections available.
[00:16] <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.
[00:17] <travnewmatic> i just turned it off
[00:18] <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
[00:19] <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
[00:20] <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.
[00:21] <travnewmatic> ah
[00:21] <catbus1> you have to get it from the same ppa on 14.10, too.
[00:21] <travnewmatic> gotcha
[00:22] <travnewmatic> is this something that canonical is going to develop the hell out of?
[00:23] <travnewmatic> not just a flash in the pan
[00:24] <catbus1> I think we are pretty serious about it. :)
[00:26] <travnewmatic> yeeeeah :D
[00:26] <travnewmatic> again, suuuper appreciate the time today
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <catbus1> great, I though you may have seen this https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/14/bare-metal-magic-at-the-open-compute-summit/
[00:33] <travnewmatic> i had not, but thats really flipping cool
[00:34] <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
[00:35] <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
[00:36] <catbus1> I don't work in a data center, I do not have experience as data center admin.
[00:37] <travnewmatic> mhm
[00:37] <travnewmatic> https://insights.ubuntu.com/2014/11/20/maas-1-7-one-maas-multiple-operating-systems/
[00:41] <travnewmatic> well what is your role with maas
[00:41] <travnewmatic> are you a developer?
[00:43] <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
[01:09] <travnewmatic> reinstalled, updated to 1.7, created the superuser, rebooting
[01:13] <travnewmatic> dhcp and dns config stuff
[01:13] <travnewmatic> now lets get this image importation party started!
[01:51] <travnewmatic> Feb 17 19:50:21 tnewman3 maas.api: [ERROR] timely-bell.local: Timed out wait
[01:51] <travnewmatic> ing for power response in Node.power_state
[01:59] <travnewmatic> maybe we've got some funky stuff in our ipmi's
[02:09] <travnewmatic> catbus1-afk, yeah not sure what the deal is but maas still doesnt have control over startup and shutdown of my 1950
[02:29] <travnewmatic> catbus1-afk, reset the DRAC to see if that will have any effect
[02:33] <travnewmatic> no dice :(
[02:33] <travnewmatic> Feb 17 20:33:27 tnewman3 maas.api: [ERROR] ripe-believe.local: Timed out wai
[02:33] <travnewmatic> ting for power response in Node.power_state
[02:34] <travnewmatic> 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] <kiko> catbus1-afk, why was he using 1.5?
[16:27] <catbus1> kiko: he used ubuntu server boot media to install maas.
[16:32] <kiko> catbus1, ugh, we need to fix that too
[16:47] <dimitern> hey guys
[16:47] <kiko> hey dimitern
[16:47] <dimitern> is it feasible to even try to run a ppc64el kvm in maas?
[16:48] <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?
[16:49] <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] <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
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <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
[16:52] <dimitern> cheers!
[16:52] <kiko> dimitern, I was asking slangasek
[16:52] <kiko> but no answer yet
 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, ^^
[17:41] <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)
[17:42] <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
[17:49] <kiko> dimitern, hmm, dunno if that's a rtfm or that you're using an old version of what
[17:52] <dimitern> kiko, I'll look more into it, anyway - thanks for your help :)
[18:15] <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?
[18:16] <catbus1> travnewmatic: I am not sure. Sure it should respond to ipmi requests.
[18:19] <catbus1> whether it responds to pings depends on bmc firmware.
[18:22] <travnewmatic> gotcha
[20:25] <CompanionCube> hi
[20:26] <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
[22:23] <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
[22:24] <travnewmatic> gets halfway through the bios and then shuts down and restarts
[22:25] <travnewmatic> brb lunch
[22:32] <kiko> travnewmatic, that's interesting
[22:49] <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
