[00:55] <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
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <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?
[03:16] <mup> Bug #1627419 opened: [ipv6] ephemeral kernel fails to shutdown <MAAS:New> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1627419>
[04:33] <samba35> do i require local hardisk on client system for maas client deployment ?
[04:33] <spaok> my guess is yes
[04:34] <spaok> I think you need a root disk defined to deploy
[04:35] <samba35> thanks ,
[04:35] <spaok> rockey: what type of severs?
[04:35] <spaok> servers even
[04:36] <samba35> can i use sd card ?
[04:36] <spaok> should, mine show up as disks
[04:36] <spaok> can even software raid them
[04:37] <samba35> if local hardisk is require then what is purpose of maas server ? just deploy installation ?
[04:37] <spaok> maas is a provisioner
[04:38] <spaok> like cobbler
[04:38] <samba35> i am as a blind person judge elephant
[04:38] <spaok> what are you trying to do?
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <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
[04:42] <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
[04:43] <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
[04:44] <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
[04:45] <spaok> no maas needed
[04:45] <samba35> ic
[04:45] <spaok> then juju will create containers
[04:46] <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
[04:48] <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
[04:49] <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
[04:50] <samba35> ok
[04:50] <spaok> there's differences between docker and lxd, but networking wise out of the box they are basically the same
[04:52] <samba35> brb
[04:52] <samba35> sorry
[05:08] <ComputerAdam-noo> hi
[05:09] <ComputerAdam-noo> my rack controller had no dhcpd check mark, is that why im not getting my server to boot from pxe?
[05:10] <ComputerAdam-noo>   dhcpd    dhcpd6
[05:25] <spaok> ya probably
[05:26] <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
[05:28] <ComputerAdam-noo> thanks! should I turn off DHCP on my router?
[05:28] <ComputerAdam-noo> first?
[05:41] <spaok> probably a good idea
[05:41] <spaok> think you can tell maas to use an external DHCP, but haven't tried it
[05:46] <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
[05:47]  * spaok would think
[06:11] <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
[06:12] <spaok> if they bridged on the same machine then ya it should work ok
[06:17] <samba35> can i use usb pendrive as a hardisk ? to deploy maas client ?
[06:20] <spaok> if you mean a client that PXE boots against MAAS and uses USB pendrive it should
[06:23] <samba35> for local storage /alternative to harddisk
[06:52] <mup> Bug #1627441 opened: MAAS 2.0 - CentOS 7 deployment failed <MAAS:New> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1627441>
[10:33] <rockey> spaok: i found a solution, some fucker at the hardware place didnt follow instructions of puting right disk in the right place
[10:34] <rockey> spaok: so sda was different due to motherboard hdd slot order
[14:44] <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.
