| mpontillo | f1gjam: ah, is it working now? looks good? | 01:43 |
|---|---|---|
| f1gjam | mpontillo, nope | 01:45 |
| f1gjam | i just blew away the isntall doing it again | 01:45 |
| f1gjam | i think you were right about change the IP of the MAAS server | 01:46 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: ok, the screenshot seemed to show it properly finding the MAAS data source | 01:46 |
| f1gjam | yes | 01:47 |
| f1gjam | but it doesnt do anything | 01:47 |
| f1gjam | just sits there for 40 mins | 01:47 |
| f1gjam | and then MAaS server marks as failed :( | 01:47 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: really weird. are you able to get a packet capture of the deployment? | 01:52 |
| f1gjam | how would i do that | 01:52 |
| f1gjam | wireshark? | 01:52 |
| f1gjam | or soethjing? | 01:52 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: I use a command like: tcpdump -s 0 'port not 22' -n -w deployment.pcap | 01:52 |
| mpontillo | on the rack controller | 01:53 |
| mpontillo | the 'port not 22' is so it doesn't capture your SSH traffic. | 01:53 |
| f1gjam | so isnbt the rack controller and maas server one box now | 01:53 |
| mpontillo | that will write a packet capture to 'deployment.pcap'. you'd probably need to be root or add "sudo" first. | 01:53 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: yeah, by default it's the same machine but you can put the rack/cluster controller (we renamed it from cluster to rack in MAAS 2.0) on a separate machine if you want | 01:54 |
| f1gjam | ok so its all on one machine right now | 01:54 |
| f1gjam | give me two secs | 01:54 |
| f1gjam | im just waiting for it to install again | 01:54 |
| f1gjam | shouldnt take long | 01:54 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: that's fine. if you get a pcap it'll unfortunately be pretty big, as you'll capture the entire image download (~200 MB or so I think) | 01:54 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: but it may help to debug... | 01:55 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: you can filter by http and see if the deployed node is attempting to contact MAAS. just to verify, which version of MAAS do you have installed? | 01:55 |
| f1gjam | no issues with that i can put it on dropbox | 01:55 |
| mpontillo | cool | 01:56 |
| mpontillo | I might not be able to dig into it until next week though | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | sure | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | where are you ?? in the world i mean | 01:56 |
| mpontillo | california | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | h wow | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | i go there all the time | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | Newark | 01:56 |
| f1gjam | well once a quarter for work | 01:56 |

| mpontillo | ah cool, never been there | 01:57 |
| f1gjam | well its near SF | 01:57 |
| mpontillo | oh, yeah, well I've been in the area. I live near Sacramento but I used to work in SF a couple days per week | 01:57 |
| f1gjam | yeah sacremento is far from there | 01:58 |
| f1gjam | i havent had a chacne to go there yet | 01:58 |
| f1gjam | been LA | 01:58 |
| f1gjam | and to | 01:58 |
| mpontillo | too hot. I don't recommend it =) | 01:58 |
| mpontillo | cheaper housing though | 01:58 |
| f1gjam | ssualito | 01:58 |
| f1gjam | yes very hot in LA | 01:59 |
| f1gjam | but it was a tick in the box | 01:59 |
| * mpontillo -> afk (good luck with MAAS, sorry it isn't going more smoothly!) | 02:00 | |
| f1gjam | ill cathch you next week :) | 02:00 |
| f1gjam | mpontillo, i know your gone, but i wanted to let you know it WORKED!!!! | 03:08 |
| f1gjam | its 4am here in UK so im going to sleep :) satisfied. thanks for your help. I will create updated docs which might be helpful to post somewhere, if you can recommended where that is. thanks again | 03:09 |

| f1gjam | mpontillo, feature request - https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1596287 | 11:59 |
| mup | Bug #1596287 opened: Feature request Installation tracking via MaaS <MAAS:New> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1596287> | 12:22 |
| f1gjam | mpontillo, almost worked, landscape installed failed. I am now going to try out Ubuntu 16.04 with MaaS 2.0 - since i have the install working im guessing its better to try the latest version | 15:28 |
| f1gjam | mpontillo, just incase - this is the network layout - https://screencloud.net/v/jsk7 | 16:04 |
| f1gjam | updated screenshot: https://screencloud.net/v/v5ms | 17:46 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: as far as I know, landscape does not work with MAAS 2.0 yet =( ... the API in MAAS is different. | 18:06 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: what was the issue with landscape? | 18:06 |
| f1gjam | let me paste the error | 18:17 |
| f1gjam | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17924168/ | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | and | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | sorry thats the error | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | ive now installed 16.04 | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | and trying to get it to install autopilot | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | going to kick off install now | 18:19 |
| f1gjam | might go abck to 14.04 | 18:20 |
| f1gjam | especially if you are saying landscape doesnt work with 2.0 | 18:20 |
| f1gjam | mpontillo, do you work for canonical? | 18:21 |
| f1gjam | quick question, is there a way to point ubuntu cd installer to a http://kickstart file which will just pass all the parameters needed for install? secondly is there an auto generated kickstart file located on the box installed manually? | 18:29 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: yes, I work for Canonical on the MAAS team. ;-) not sure about kickstart (thought that was a RH thing), MAAS used to support a way to install Ubuntu using the Debian installer, but it's much slower | 18:58 |
| f1gjam | well, is there anyway to do a similar thing to kickstart :) | 18:59 |
| f1gjam | the reason i asked if you worked for canonical was because i wanted to ask about the docs, which all seem to be out of date. It takes too much effort to install everything correctly | 19:00 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: yeah we are planning on improving the docs for the next release... sorry for the inconvenience | 19:44 |
| f1gjam | mpontillo, its cool, if i have this working, i can help :) | 19:47 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: are you installing Ubuntu to metal or a VM? If a VM, I would use the cloud image and the local cloud-init provider | 19:47 |
| f1gjam | metal | 19:47 |
| f1gjam | I have 3 * HP110 G6 severs and 2 * Lenovo TS140 Servers | 19:47 |
| f1gjam | all of them have 3 network cards | 19:47 |
| f1gjam | 1 * 64GB USB and 1 * 250GB or greater HDD | 19:48 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: thanks; if you find errors in the docs and want to send us some minor patches, I'm sure it would be appreciated. | 19:48 |
| f1gjam | well I am going to create a new one from scratch | 19:48 |
| f1gjam | There are things which need more explanation | 19:49 |
| f1gjam | but that would be easier to discuss on a skype call | 19:49 |
| f1gjam | especially the networking pieces | 19:49 |
| f1gjam | ok - so just finishing off setting up 14.04 with MaaS for like the 20th time :) | 19:50 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: thanks for any feedback you can provide! | 19:52 |
| f1gjam | no worries :) | 19:52 |
| f1gjam | next time im out in California | 19:52 |
| f1gjam | we should meet up :) | 19:53 |
| mpontillo | Let me know - I'm often busy with family so no guarantees. | 19:58 |
| f1gjam | yeah no worries, it was supposed to be in July | 19:59 |
| f1gjam | but not 100% | 19:59 |
| f1gjam | would be great if you could choose which hdd to commission on, however you have to commission for it to detect the drives then recommission | 20:26 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: commissioning does not touch your drive at all. It boots a read only image over iscsi with an overlayfs | 20:49 |
| f1gjam | well, how do i get it to use USB - you only get to choose after you have done commissioning | 20:53 |
| f1gjam | then when you - recommission it shows as the usb drive with the parition | 20:53 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: you can configure the storage layout any way you want after it commissions. MAAS resets the storage layout to default upon recommissioning (though it can optionally retain it) | 21:29 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: in other words, delete the filesystem and configure the volumes/partitions to your liking after you commission. | 21:30 |
| f1gjam | ah i see | 21:30 |
| f1gjam | well i just wanted it to use USB whole | 21:30 |
| f1gjam | and not touch the slow hd | 21:30 |
| f1gjam | as i want that for ceph | 21:30 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: you should be able to configure it to do that. | 21:32 |
| f1gjam | yeah, as you said after commisson | 21:32 |
| f1gjam | that makes sense. The way i was thinking it worked wasnt the case | 21:32 |
| f1gjam | need some more clarification :) | 21:33 |
| f1gjam | ill try and write up a list of stuff | 21:33 |
| f1gjam | and ping it over | 21:33 |
| f1gjam | tht might be better | 21:33 |
| f1gjam | im really good at making things idiot proofish | 21:33 |
| mpontillo | f1gjam: thanks! | 21:37 |
