newell_blakeh: you around?18:08
blakehhere18:09
newell_Have you downloaded images for your MAAS 2.0 server?18:09
blakehyes18:09
blakehppc and amd18:10
newell_blakeh: and you have DHCP configured for this MAAS server?18:10
newell_blakeh: from the bug report it seems like you are deploying a 2nd MAAS server on one of the MAAS 1.9 nodes that you deployed?18:10
blakehnewell - yes18:10
blakehnewell - i have the first one shut donw18:10
newell_Or is this an isolated MAAS 2.0 installation (from MAAS 1.9)18:11
newell_?18:11
blakehnewell  -- i have a 14.04  with maas 1.9 that is currently powered off on same subnet-18:11
blakehnewell - to prevent dhcp problems18:12
newell_blakeh: okay, just wanted to make sure18:12
blakehnewell -- deploying an x86 node works fine18:12
newell_when you try and boot your power nodes with MAAS 1.9 is it serving pxelinux.0 as well?18:12
blakehnewell - yes- no issue18:13
newell_blakeh: okay power should be getting served something other than pxelinux.018:13
newell_so that is concerning18:13
blakehnewell - i think pxelinux.0 is correct for ppc64el--- ppc64 is served by boot ppc64.bin18:15
blakehnewell -- lookin in /var/lib/maas/dhcpd.conf seems to indicate this is correct - on both 1.9 and 2.018:15
newell_blakeh: ah maybe I am thinking powerVM18:16
newell_what type of power is this?18:16
newell_powerNM18:16
newell_NV*18:16
blakehyes nv18:16
newell_okay that is why18:16
newell_thanks for verifying18:16
blakehpower 822L18:17
newell_are you using trusty images or xenial?18:17
newell_or something else?18:17
blakehdid put in a bug18:17
blakehxenial18:17
newell_let me ping the powerNV guy and see if he has tried this with MAAS 2.018:17
blakehsure -- Bug #1596046 has some logs attached18:18
* newell_ looking now18:18
newell_blakeh: so this is simply manually turning the power on for the machine correct?18:22
newell_blakeh: have you tried entering the power parameters and trying to commission the node directly?18:22
blakehyes -- power on and do a pxe boot18:22
blakehhave not tried entering manually yet18:22
newell_blakeh: try that for now18:23
blakehok - will take a few minutes18:24
wililupycrazy question here...Is there a way to get MAAS's DNS server to sync with a regular bind9 DNS server?18:46
blakehnewell:  so at this point when i select commission for the power 8 node it does power it on an bring it up to petitboot, but does not load a new os on sda - hangs on commissioning- i expect it to time out and error.18:48
newell_blakeh: so it was able to find the pxelinux.cfg unlike before?18:51
blakehno -- it was unable to install an os -- no pxe boot  ---18:52
newell_blakeh: no OS is installed during commissioning18:52
blakehperhaps i picked the wrong action >  i selected commission- should it be acquire?18:53
newell_commissioning is what you want18:53
newell_do you have console log?18:53
blakehcorrect-- i am trying again-- net info was not correct last time18:53
newell_ack18:53
newell_wililupy: not sure.  mpontillo any idea if we can get MAAS DNS server to sync with regular bind9 DNS server?18:54
mpontillowililupy: newell_: not sure what is meant by "sync", but I understand that a common configuration is to delegate a subdomain to MAAS18:55
wililupyReason for asking is that I don't want to have to continue to have to manually add the servers provisioned by maas manually in my DNS server.18:56
mpontilloMAAS only partially takes control of the bind9 configuration. it's likely that you could configure bind9 however you like, and MAAS will mostly stay out of your way18:56
mpontillowililupy: what I do for the MAAS I test with is I tell my local dnsmasq that my MAAS DNS server is authoritative for the .maas (or whatever) domain18:57
mpontillowililupy: in short, yes, it should be possible. alternatively you could just rsync the zone files MAAS generates to your other bind9 server18:57
mpontillowililupy: there are any number of ways you could tackle this problem18:57
wililupympontillo: Gotcha. That makes sense. I could add a subdomain in my DNS server such as maas.domain.net and have it be the authority for that.18:58
wililupyit being MAAS18:58
mpontillowililupy: yeah, just update the domain in MAAS to be whatever your chosen subdomain is18:58
blakehnewell -- so it loaded the os on the hard drive- ub 14.04 instead of installing the commissioning os - u 16.0418:59
bdxhey whats up all? Is there a reason why a space can't be assigned to a fabric with no subnets defined?19:01
sjlhow does one log into a failed centos deploy?  the iDRAC console shows login with 'localhost login' and my normal ssh key doesn't apply since the node instance apparently did not successfully get on the network20:42
pacavaca_321:15
pacavaca_oops, accidentally pressed enter21:15
pacavaca_Is there anybody around to answer some questions?21:18
mpontillosjl: did the machine boot into CentOS? IIRC, since MAAS don't do advanced network configuration on the CentOS images, you must use DHCP. not sure if that helps.21:45
mpontillosjl: normally I would say that you may able to modify the cloud-init user data (see /etc/maas) to configure a password, but it sounds like your deployed nodes aren't able to reach the MAAS metadata server anyway21:46
mpontillosjl: did you try an Ubuntu deployment? if so, any issues?21:47
mpontillopacavaca_: just ask your question; if someone knows the answer they will jump in21:47
sjlmpontillo: the problem is intermittent with about 20% failure rate with centos,  I haven't seen any errors with ubuntu but haven't tried that much to be sure21:47
mpontillosjl: so it works one out of every ~5 times -- on the same machine, or different machines? it would be good to isolate why it fails, when it does...21:48
sjlmponntillo: yes the machine did boot to centos, so it was able to communicate to maas at some stage21:48
mpontillosjl: if you are using MAAS 2.0 you might check /var/log/maas/rsyslog/<node> to see if there are any clues. cloud-init should configure the MAAS server as an rsyslog endpoint21:49
sjlmpontillo: same machine21:49
mpontillosjl: though I don't think that rsyslog feature persists after deployment is done21:49
sjli'm using the standard centos66 from http://images.maas.io/ephemeral-v2/daily/  Is there a preseed user account ('root' or 'centos') with a static password to get me in?21:51
mpontillosjl: no, there are no static passwords. if cloud-init is failing to get the machine's configuration, I doubt that an additional cloud-init preseed with a static password would help you21:52
pacavaca_maas2: on the controller machine I've changed some network configuration. Basically I broke a bridge and gave the IP back to the physical NIC. Now how can I tell maas to re-detect the network configuration on controller? And actually, why can't I run DHCP on a bridge?21:53
mpontillopacavaca_: if you are on MAAS 2.0 it should auto-detect within ~30 seconds21:54
mpontillopacavaca_: DHCP on a bridge should work fine. which version of MAAS 2.0 are you running? if you didn't use the PPA, you probably have beta 3. if that is the case, you want to get the latest beta from ppa:maas/next21:54
sjlhow about a backdoor method into centos66?  I've tried without success: https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/troubleshooting.html?highlight=backdoor#debugging-ephemeral-image21:55
pacavaca_mpontillo: hmm. it doesn't seem to happen http://d.pr/i/17W8y I'm on beta8 (from ppa). Should I look into some logs? I haven't found a way to enable DHCP on a bridge through UI..21:55
mpontillopacavaca_: though I am not sure what you mean by "broke a bridge and gave the IP back to the physical NIC"; if you have a bridge configured, the IP does need to be on the bridge.21:55
pacavaca_mpontillo: it was. but now I removed that bridge21:56
pacavaca_Uh oh. Seems it has resolved. I did not remove a bridge but just brought it down and brought the NIC back up and it didn't work. But now I did 'brctl delbr br0' and MAAS detected the new config right away.21:58
pacavaca_So, false alarm. Thank you for the attention mpontillo!21:58
mpontillopacavaca_: no problem, glad it's working ;-)21:59
mpontillopacavaca_: DHCP is enabled per-VLAN in MAAS 2.0, not per interface. this change was made so that we can support HA. you'll find the DHCP on/off options on the VLAN details page under Networks. (a but buried, I admit.)22:00
pacavaca_mpontillo: yeah, just found it.. seems my bridge got destroyed for nothing :)22:04
bdxgeneral note: when enlisting virsh instances, ensure you don't configure them to '--autostart' :-)22:53
pacavaca_mpontillo: how does MAAS figure out when node is deployed? I just tried using my custom image and the machine got re-imaged correctly, I can log in and use it. However, MAAS still shows it as deploying. Should there be some maas agent running on machine or what's the mechanism?22:57
mpontillopacavaca_: we consider MAAS to be agentless. but cloud-init acts as our agent, and I *think* (but would have to verify) that we can tell the machine is deployed due to the notification from cloud-init23:01
pacavaca_mpontillo: ok, thanks. Is there any way I can verify cloud-init is functionalble? Because this is a custom image I've created in some hacky way and things may be broken.23:06
mpontillopacavaca_: well, I confirmed that the cloud-init request for user-data is what hands the node off to deployed state. does your custom image include cloud-init?23:07
pacavaca_It should, but how do I verify that?23:08
bdx:-)23:09
bdxpacavaca_: why/how should it?23:09
mpontillopacavaca_: well, besides the obvious, I might do a packet capture from the rack controller during deployment and compare what happens for a supported image to yours.23:10
pacavaca_I initially created the image using curtinator and I assume it installed cloud-init. But then I did some modifications to the contents of tarball, so It might broke something23:10
pacavaca_that's to bdx :)23:10
mpontillopacavaca_: okay. well, I would suggest testing with the official Ubuntu image to see if you can isolate the problem. I can't dig too deeply into custom images since that's something Canonical sells support for, as it can be a bit involved to get it right, as you see =)23:14
pacavaca_mpontillo: sure, I understand that. Just looking for some hints to simplify debugging. Ok, I will try using the official image just to see if it actually works.23:16
