[02:39] <holocron> hello, question on provisioning a libvirt machine.. it's already been allocated, and i can see the power status, but it stays in "Commissioning"
[02:39] <holocron> where can i get more information about the situation?

[13:11] <jamespage> roaksoax, blake_r_: hey - do you guys have some sort of pre-canned script for setting up a virtual MAAS environment on a single machine?
[13:11] <jamespage> there are alot of blogs of various people doing this, but I can't find anything official
[13:14] <blake_r_> mpontillo: ^ might have something
[13:34] <roaksoax> jamespage: as blake said, I personally do it manually for testing purposes, but mpontillo and I believe ltrager do have it scripted
[13:56] <mpontillo> jamespage: the scripts I use are here: https://github.com/pontillo/aoi-maas/

[15:30] <babbageclunk> blake_r_, roaksoax: I'm trying to add tag support to gomaasapi so I can use it in Juju.
[15:38]  * babbageclunk realised that roaksoax was sitting just over there so talked face-to-face instead.
[15:41] <roaksoax>  :)
[15:49] <rock___> roaksoax: HI. I want to use https://github.com/pontillo/aoi-maas/ on a Single server[ALL in one] to test my juju charm. It will deploy MAAS and Create virtual machines. Then we have to commission them. After this If I want to deploy openstack on commissioned machines . What I need to do? Which refernce link that I have to follow to deploy openstack?
[15:51] <roaksoax> rock___: jamespage will be able to answer that
[15:55] <rock___> roaksoax: Ok. Thank you. So for doing https://github.com/pontillo/aoi-maas/ we have to take a single Server or a Single VM?  Which one is recommendable?
[15:57] <roaksoax> rock___: TBH, i dont know. I've not looked at it prpovided that's mpontillo's script to test MAAS
[15:58] <roaksoax> rock___: mpontillo would know
[15:59] <rock___> roaksoax: OK I will ask him. I need exact thing (like server (or) Vm and  exact hardware requirements for that.)
[16:00] <mpontillo> rock___: I use aoi-maas on metal to test MAAS. it could work in a virtual machine, but then it would be slow because you would be doing nested virtualization
[16:00] <mpontillo> rock___: it isn't intended for production use; it's what I use for testing while developing MAAS. though I'm happy if you find it useful!
[16:01] <mpontillo> rock___: also, patches welcome if you need to modify the scripts. they can be a little crufty ;-)
[16:03] <rock___> mpontillo: Ok. Thank you. Can you please provide server hardware details[ ram, cpu cores, hard disks, NICs] . Yes I want to test my juju charm with [MAAS+openstack base bundle] setup. I don't have more hardware. due to that I am searching for solution. I found aio-maas through jameapage.
[16:04] <roaksoax> rock___: i think jamespage would have a better idea of the specifics of the hardware for running openstack locally
[16:04] <roaksoax> rock___: since we dont actively test it
[16:04] <roaksoax> and we wouldn't know
[16:04] <mpontillo> rock___: I have not tested this with an openstack deployment, but from what I understand, if you want an all-virtual openstack you may want a machine with 32 gigabytes of RAM. I use a fairly recent i7 CPU for development

[16:20] <rock___> mpontillo/roaksoax: Thank you .
[16:21] <mpontillo> rock___: no problem. also, FYI, my laptop has 16G of RAM which is enough to easily run a half dozen virtual machines to use with MAAS
[16:22] <rock___> mpontillo:  what about hard disk and NICs?
[16:23] <rock___> mpontillo: no.of CPU cores required?
[16:23] <mpontillo> rock___: I use an SSD (~500 GB) on a laptop with a wireless and wired NIC, but my script will strictly use the virtual network. you can bridge it to a physical network if you want, but that's up to you
[16:23] <mpontillo> rock___: I have a 4-core (8 with hyperthreading) i7
[16:25] <rock___> mpontillo: If I don't have i7 CPU can I use any other type cpu?
[16:26] <mpontillo> rock___: yeah as long as it supports the virtualization extensions it should run fine. check the BIOS to make sure it's enabled if you aren't sure. (vt-x if you have an Intel CPU)
[16:29] <rock___> mpontillo: Thank you for your good support.
[16:32] <mpontillo> rock___: no problem. oh, one other tip: you can use virt-manager to open a GUI which will allow you to adjust the resources assigned to each virtual machine. I usually give my MAAS virtual machine 4GB of RAM and more cores to make it faster
[16:35] <rock___> mpontillo : Usally , how many virtual machines it will create?
[16:36] <mpontillo> rock___: it currently creates eight virtual machines in addition to the MAAS server , but does not start them all (once you use MAAS to commission and/or deploy the nodes, that's when they'll start)
[16:36] <mpontillo> rock___: since I am not really running anything on those VMs, I create them with just 1G of RAM each though. if you want to actually use them you can reconfigure them with virt-manager or similar tools
[16:39] <rock___> Bydefault, If it creates 8 virtual machines. Can i delete 4 virtual machines to use remaining four effectively by assigning more resources [like RAM, disk,cpu,nics]?
[16:43] <mpontillo> rock___: yep, or change the scripts to create them how you want ;-)
[17:02] <rock___> mpontillo: OK. Thank you.
