| rockey | good evening lads.. i have some sort of situation with maas 2.0 on ubuntu xenial lts.. system drives is arranged in different orders, even on the same models with the same bios configurations | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| rockey | when trying to boot after deployment is "almost finished, just the last bit left", i get [warn] no mbr magic shittyness, which right now drives me crazy | 00:56 |
| rockey | i specify in maas that device with X size should be sda and should contain this specified partition setup, next device should be left alone without any partitions at all | 00:57 |
| rockey | this is some sort of 50/50 scenario right now on about 10 hosts in my lab environment | 00:57 |
| rockey | anyone had this problem before? | 00:57 |

| samba35 | do i require local hardisk on client system for maas client deployment ? | 04:33 |
| spaok | my guess is yes | 04:33 |
| spaok | I think you need a root disk defined to deploy | 04:34 |
| samba35 | thanks , | 04:35 |
| spaok | rockey: what type of severs? | 04:35 |
| spaok | servers even | 04:35 |
| samba35 | can i use sd card ? | 04:36 |
| spaok | should, mine show up as disks | 04:36 |
| spaok | can even software raid them | 04:36 |
| samba35 | if local hardisk is require then what is purpose of maas server ? just deploy installation ? | 04:37 |
| spaok | maas is a provisioner | 04:37 |
| spaok | like cobbler | 04:38 |
| samba35 | i am as a blind person judge elephant | 04:38 |
| spaok | what are you trying to do? | 04:38 |
| samba35 | trying to deploy server with may be wtong idea that my diskless machine will act as a server ,and i can acess same server in cloud | 04:40 |
| samba35 | be wrong idea .... | 04:41 |
| samba35 | did u deploy maas server ? | 04:41 |
| spaok | ya | 04:41 |
| spaok | but maas is a tool | 04:41 |
| samba35 | with local harddisk | 04:41 |
| spaok | ya, I run MAAS 1.9.3 in a KVM instance and the new MAAS 2.0 in a LXD container | 04:42 |
| samba35 | ok | 04:42 |
| spaok | it's basically a PXE server | 04:42 |
| spaok | you can do some fun things with it, but to me, at its core is a PXE server | 04:43 |
| samba35 | cool | 04:43 |
| samba35 | i am also trying same | 04:43 |
| spaok | we use it to boot racks of servers, deploy the OS and trigger a puppet run | 04:43 |
| samba35 | what hardware is require /do u have | 04:43 |
| spaok | you can probably run it on a raspberry pi if you wanted, but we use Dell R630's right now | 04:44 |
| samba35 | for maas ,lxd and juju 4 ram is ok ? | 04:44 |
| spaok | well, are you doing multiple servers? or one? | 04:44 |
| samba35 | one | 04:44 |
| spaok | if you use one server you can just use juju and the local provider for LXD | 04:44 |
| spaok | no maas needed | 04:45 |
| samba35 | ic | 04:45 |
| spaok | then juju will create containers | 04:45 |
| samba35 | ok | 04:46 |
| spaok | see https://www.stgraber.org/2016/06/06/lxd-2-0-lxd-and-juju-1012/ | 04:46 |
| spaok | bootstrap against localhost will be juju lxd | 04:46 |
| spaok | maas is more for when you have pools of servers you want to deploy apps to, it's possible to run everything on one server but it's a little tricky | 04:48 |
| samba35 | is it u r blog ? | 04:48 |
| spaok | nope, just something I had open when I was testing stuff | 04:48 |
| samba35 | ok | 04:48 |
| spaok | i'm trying the new 2.0 features | 04:48 |
| samba35 | for lxd it require its own bridge /interface ? | 04:49 |
| spaok | ya | 04:49 |
| samba35 | like docker ? | 04:49 |
| spaok | it will auto create it | 04:49 |
| spaok | ya , basically the same concepts | 04:49 |
| samba35 | ok | 04:50 |
| spaok | there's differences between docker and lxd, but networking wise out of the box they are basically the same | 04:50 |
| samba35 | brb | 04:52 |
| samba35 | sorry | 04:52 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | hi | 05:08 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | my rack controller had no dhcpd check mark, is that why im not getting my server to boot from pxe? | 05:09 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | dhcpd dhcpd6 | 05:10 |
| spaok | ya probably | 05:25 |
| spaok | go to networks | 05:26 |
| spaok | click on the untagged vlan | 05:26 |
| spaok | then take action -> enable dhcp | 05:26 |
| spaok | took me a bit to figure that one also | 05:26 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | thanks! should I turn off DHCP on my router? | 05:28 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | first? | 05:28 |
| spaok | probably a good idea | 05:41 |
| spaok | think you can tell maas to use an external DHCP, but haven't tried it | 05:41 |
| ComputerAdam-noo | yup so dhcp didnt turn on bacause of routers dhcp.. im just configuring this at home. | 05:46 |
| spaok | it should turn on no matter what, just questionable about which DHCP would see the requests first | 05:46 |
| * spaok would think | 05:47 | |
| ComputerAdam-noo | since I have an airport extreme and there is no way to turn off dhcp, i just turned it on the MAAS server and got my vmachine to boot w pxe | 06:11 |
| spaok | if they bridged on the same machine then ya it should work ok | 06:12 |
| samba35 | can i use usb pendrive as a hardisk ? to deploy maas client ? | 06:17 |
| spaok | if you mean a client that PXE boots against MAAS and uses USB pendrive it should | 06:20 |
| samba35 | for local storage /alternative to harddisk | 06:23 |

| rockey | spaok: i found a solution, some fucker at the hardware place didnt follow instructions of puting right disk in the right place | 10:33 |
| rockey | spaok: so sda was different due to motherboard hdd slot order | 10:34 |

| echeadle | I just installed maas and I am trying to get things to work. I wanted to turn on dhcp from the command line. I log into the node fine but when I try to use the maas $PROFILE node-groups command it tells me there is no command. What am i doing wrong? I am reading from the 2.0 version of documentation. | 14:44 |
