[01:43] f1gjam: ah, is it working now? looks good? [01:45] mpontillo, nope [01:45] i just blew away the isntall doing it again [01:46] i think you were right about change the IP of the MAAS server [01:46] f1gjam: ok, the screenshot seemed to show it properly finding the MAAS data source [01:47] yes [01:47] but it doesnt do anything [01:47] just sits there for 40 mins [01:47] and then MAaS server marks as failed :( [01:52] f1gjam: really weird. are you able to get a packet capture of the deployment? [01:52] how would i do that [01:52] wireshark? [01:52] or soethjing? [01:52] f1gjam: I use a command like: tcpdump -s 0 'port not 22' -n -w deployment.pcap [01:53] on the rack controller [01:53] the 'port not 22' is so it doesn't capture your SSH traffic. [01:53] so isnbt the rack controller and maas server one box now [01:53] that will write a packet capture to 'deployment.pcap'. you'd probably need to be root or add "sudo" first. [01:54] 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] ok so its all on one machine right now [01:54] give me two secs [01:54] im just waiting for it to install again [01:54] shouldnt take long [01:54] 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) [01:55] f1gjam: but it may help to debug... [01:55] 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] no issues with that i can put it on dropbox [01:56] cool [01:56] I might not be able to dig into it until next week though [01:56] sure [01:56] where are you ?? in the world i mean [01:56] california [01:56] h wow [01:56] i go there all the time [01:56] Newark [01:56] well once a quarter for work [01:56] :) [01:57] ah cool, never been there [01:57] well its near SF [01:57] 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 [01:58] yeah sacremento is far from there [01:58] i havent had a chacne to go there yet [01:58] been LA [01:58] and to [01:58] too hot. I don't recommend it =) [01:58] cheaper housing though [01:58] ssualito [01:59] yes very hot in LA [01:59] but it was a tick in the box [02:00] * mpontillo -> afk (good luck with MAAS, sorry it isn't going more smoothly!) [02:00] ill cathch you next week :) [03:08] mpontillo, i know your gone, but i wanted to let you know it WORKED!!!! [03:09] 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 === spammy is now known as Guest98782 [11:59] mpontillo, feature request - https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1596287 [12:22] Bug #1596287 opened: Feature request Installation tracking via MaaS [15:28] 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 [16:04] mpontillo, just incase - this is the network layout - https://screencloud.net/v/jsk7 [17:46] updated screenshot: https://screencloud.net/v/v5ms [18:06] f1gjam: as far as I know, landscape does not work with MAAS 2.0 yet =( ... the API in MAAS is different. [18:06] f1gjam: what was the issue with landscape? [18:17] let me paste the error [18:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/17924168/ [18:19] and [18:19] sorry thats the error [18:19] ive now installed 16.04 [18:19] and trying to get it to install autopilot [18:19] going to kick off install now [18:20] might go abck to 14.04 [18:20] especially if you are saying landscape doesnt work with 2.0 [18:21] mpontillo, do you work for canonical? [18:29] 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? [18:58] 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 [18:59] well, is there anyway to do a similar thing to kickstart :) [19:00] 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 [19:44] f1gjam: yeah we are planning on improving the docs for the next release... sorry for the inconvenience [19:47] mpontillo, its cool, if i have this working, i can help :) [19:47] 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] metal [19:47] I have 3 * HP110 G6 severs and 2 * Lenovo TS140 Servers [19:47] all of them have 3 network cards [19:48] 1 * 64GB USB and 1 * 250GB or greater HDD [19:48] 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] well I am going to create a new one from scratch [19:49] There are things which need more explanation [19:49] but that would be easier to discuss on a skype call [19:49] especially the networking pieces [19:50] ok - so just finishing off setting up 14.04 with MaaS for like the 20th time :) [19:52] f1gjam: thanks for any feedback you can provide! [19:52] no worries :) [19:52] next time im out in California [19:53] we should meet up :) [19:58] Let me know - I'm often busy with family so no guarantees. [19:59] yeah no worries, it was supposed to be in July [19:59] but not 100% [20:26] 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 [20:49] f1gjam: commissioning does not touch your drive at all. It boots a read only image over iscsi with an overlayfs [20:53] well, how do i get it to use USB - you only get to choose after you have done commissioning [20:53] then when you - recommission it shows as the usb drive with the parition [21:29] 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) [21:30] f1gjam: in other words, delete the filesystem and configure the volumes/partitions to your liking after you commission. [21:30] ah i see [21:30] well i just wanted it to use USB whole [21:30] and not touch the slow hd [21:30] as i want that for ceph [21:32] f1gjam: you should be able to configure it to do that. [21:32] yeah, as you said after commisson [21:32] that makes sense. The way i was thinking it worked wasnt the case [21:33] need some more clarification :) [21:33] ill try and write up a list of stuff [21:33] and ping it over [21:33] tht might be better [21:33] im really good at making things idiot proofish [21:37] f1gjam: thanks!
