| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, sorry, no. i don't think maas supports custom kernels/images | 00:26 |

| wililupy | in MAAS 2.0, what is the CLI to add MX and CNAME records to DNS? | 08:07 |
| wililupy | wooot! FIgured it out! | 08:43 |
| wililupy | CLI would be for MX records: maas <profile> dnsresource-records create fqdn=mail.maas rrtype=mx rrdata='<preference> mail.maas' | 08:45 |
| wililupy | CLI for CNAME is: maas <profile> dnsresource-records create fqdn=www.maas rrtype=cname rrdata=webserver.maas | 08:50 |
| junaidali | Hi everyone, how can i configure maas to add a user to nodes while deploying them? | 10:08 |
| junaidali | while deploying those nodes* | 10:14 |
| batkins61 | In maas 2.0, how can I override the boot disk. I have a small USB installed directly on the motherboard that contains a boot image, which often enumerates as sda. I see that apparently it was possible in 1.9, but I can't find it in 2.0. | 15:57 |

| pmatulis | stack_korora, greetings, happy sunday to you | 19:34 |
| stack_korora | Greetings! Happy Sunday to you as well! | 19:35 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, now did you set up the power type for these vmware-backed nodes? and was the resulting power check successful? | 19:35 |
| stack_korora | I set them to manual | 19:35 |
| pmatulis | hm, i don't think i ever tried that. i've used 'virsh' and 'ipmi' for kvm-backed and hardware-backed nodes respectively | 19:36 |
| stack_korora | I looked at setting up the automated path with the VMWare option, but it was asking for things that I think are ESX based, not workstation based. So when it didn't work, I didn't try that hard. I just set it to manual. :-) | 19:37 |
| stack_korora | I am spinning up that box & vm's now. | 19:37 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, i found this https://goo.gl/JzZmWD . it's dated but it may still be good | 19:40 |
| stack_korora | OK. Let me try. I just got the systems up and verified network. | 19:40 |
| MichaelFischer | pmatulis, after further investigation, I discovered that my USB mic is supported by the xenial kernel; the problem I have is that the iface isn't configured in /etc/network/interfaces. So I don't think I need a custom kernel, just a way of configuring the iface. | 19:42 |
| MichaelFischer | *USB nic | 19:42 |
| stack_korora | Found the info for the disk. Maas shows it to be a "VMWare Virtual S" it sees the path as /dev/sda. All of that is correct, so not sure why it tells me in the node Storage section that no storage is found. | 19:45 |
| MichaelFischer | is it possible to run some custom script when commissioning and during deployment? This only appears to be an issue with Ubuntu as centos configures the USB nic appropriately. | 19:45 |
| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, interesting. i believe you can customize the preseed stuff | 19:48 |
| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, are you familiar with preseed? | 19:49 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, does the power check succeed? | 19:49 |
| MichaelFischer | pmatulis, Nope, do you know where I can find documentation for that? | 19:49 |
| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, i may have something that is maas-specific. lemme look | 19:50 |
| pmatulis | otherwise, in the meantime, just google 'ubuntu preseed' to get the basics of what it is | 19:51 |
| pmatulis | it's the debian/ubuntu version of red hat's kickstart | 19:51 |
| stack_korora | Not yet. It doesn't seem to like any Host value I give it. It didn't like the host MAC for the same virtual LAN the vm's are on, nor did it like the real MAC address. | 19:51 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, if the power check fails nothing will work | 19:52 |
| stack_korora | Oh. Really? Then why have a manual setup? | 19:52 |
| stack_korora | Or am i misunderstanding something? | 19:53 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, yeah, that i'm not sure about tbh | 19:53 |
| pmatulis | manual sounds like the user will need to power on and off but that needs to be done at very specific times. i need to play around with that | 19:53 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, are you prompted to power cycle when you choose 'manual'? | 19:54 |
| stack_korora | Yes | 19:54 |
| pmatulis | ohh | 19:54 |
| pmatulis | interesting | 19:55 |
| pmatulis | i'm going to file a doc issue about providing more info on the different power types | 19:55 |
| stack_korora | Which I will probably need to use IRL anyway. Some of the specialty equipment we have runs SL6, but doesn't support PXE or IPMI. :-/ | 19:56 |
| stack_korora | Although the big concern for me ATM is the new hardware coming in which should all support IPMI and PXE. So I can worry about the manual stuff later. | 19:56 |
| pmatulis | this page is srsly lacking: http://maas.io/docs/manage-power | 19:57 |
| stack_korora | So where I am stuck ATM on the power thing is that it "sees" my vmware host, but says it isn't a rack controller with access to that host. | 19:59 |
| stack_korora | Probably because it is on a different lan segment. | 20:00 |
| pmatulis | oh my | 20:00 |
| stack_korora | I was trying really hard to mimic my work environment virtually. | 20:00 |
| stack_korora | I get a few ports on a network that I have zero control over. Those ports get me internet access. | 20:00 |
| pmatulis | tbh, you should be testing in a more controlled and ideal environement, then start going towards something more realistic | 20:01 |
| stack_korora | I have a few hosts plugged into them and a "back lan" where I manage my cluster farm. | 20:01 |
| pmatulis | get off the ground, test it out first | 20:01 |
| stack_korora | Fair enough, but I still haven't found a good document explaining what good MAAS environment looks like... | 20:01 |
| stack_korora | I know it needs to be on the same LAN as the node sit controls, but that is about as much as the docs say about it. | 20:02 |
| stack_korora | I also know it really doesn't like multiple networks. | 20:02 |
| stack_korora | And I don't want it controlling (or attempting to control) other VMs or computers on the network. | 20:02 |
| stack_korora | so I gave it its very own private LAN. | 20:03 |
| stack_korora | And am adding VMs to that virtual LAN. | 20:03 |
| stack_korora | so my "network" looks something like this: | 20:03 |
| stack_korora | "The Real Internet"<->My physical host <->my virtual network<->bridge VM<->private VM with all MAAS nodes. | 20:05 |
| stack_korora | Hrm. I am thinking about trying to move it onto a second virtual network that shares with the host directly. | 20:08 |
| stack_korora | Let me see how that works... | 20:08 |
| stack_korora | Well...I have goofed something in my routing...not getting out to the internet from the MAAS server...but the rest of the networking with the host is working....Let me try the chassis again. | 20:16 |
| stack_korora | OK. That worked (at least to save the configuration!). Let me try adding a host now. | 20:17 |
| stack_korora | Hrm...nope....:-/ Let me try something else... | 20:19 |
| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, yeah, maas used preseed but now it looks like it now uses something called 'curtin' which is a faster way to install. i don't know it well but maybe this will get you started: https://goo.gl/xiIhfI | 20:21 |
| pmatulis | also see contents of /etc/maas/preseeds | 20:21 |
| MichaelFischer | Okay, thanks for the info. | 20:22 |
| stack_korora | Yeah, I can't get the Shared VM (I created a new one) to talk to the MAAS VM, regardless of which network it is on. | 20:26 |
| stack_korora | I have never used the Shared VM's before. Let me do some reading on them. | 20:27 |
| stack_korora | Oooooooohhhhhhh. That's why. The Shared VM's sit on the network proper! They are getting the same IP/network as my host system going out to the network! | 20:33 |
| stack_korora | Yeah...I can't have MAAS jacking around with that network.... | 20:33 |
| pmatulis | stack_korora, i'm not sure about vmware networks but, generally, yes, you need to put MAAS on its own network b/c it must use its own DHCP for PXE booting (enlisting,commissioning) | 20:49 |
| stack_korora | I am not sure how to link it to the network on the Shared VM. I have tried a half dozen things I found online but I still can't get the Shared VM's on the same network. | 20:53 |
| stack_korora | But I am trying something else | 20:53 |
| stack_korora | I created a private LAN that removes most of the layers of the network. So the host is really just a gateway on the network right now. | 20:54 |
| stack_korora | Doing a quick rebuild of MAAS from ISO. | 20:54 |
| stack_korora | So I won't have power control, but I should have a simpler network for the VM which I will do manual power on again. | 20:55 |
| pmatulis | MichaelFischer, stack_korora: if you still have troubles your next step would be a mailing list. i don't know why there is only a devel list but i guess that's all there is at this time. see channel topic | 21:04 |
| stack_korora | OK. Thanks for your help pmatulis. I do appreciate you taking the time to help me out. | 21:06 |
| MichaelFischer | Thanks Peter! | 21:33 |
| batkins61 | 100% failure to deploy trusty tahr. Deployed, ssh 22 connect refused. SSH key verifyed, account acquired. | 23:32 |
| batkins61 | Can anyone help? | 23:32 |
| pmatulis | batkins61, have you got any kind of node deployed? | 23:36 |
| batkins61 | All nodes commissioned and deploy successfully. All nodes ping on ICMP. Zero nodes respond to SSH. All nodes acquired by root account in MAAS, with verified SSH key. | 23:42 |
| batkins61 | All nodes report connect refused on ssh from maas controller. | 23:42 |
| batkins61 | maas 2.0 | 23:43 |
| batkins61 | 14.04.5 installed, with 16.04.1 as commissioning OS (14.05 fails to handle disks correctly). | 23:43 |
| batkins61 | In short, no. Whether trying to deploy 16.04.1 or 14.04.05, nothing has deployed successfully. | 23:46 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: so the machines change from "deploying" to "failed deployment" | 23:49 |
| roaksoax | ? | 23:49 |
| batkins61 | No, all report deployed, and stay as deployed. But, there is no ssh access, and no access from the consoel. | 23:53 |
| batkins61 | console. | 23:53 |
| batkins61 | ssh on 22 returns connect refused, no change of port configured at all. | 23:53 |
| batkins61 | console just refuses ubuntu or root. | 23:54 |
| batkins61 | Hey, maybe an override to allow ubuntu or root console access would be good? Does one exist? | 23:54 |
| roaksoax | beisner: if the machine is "deployed" then it /must/ have imported ssh keys | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | err | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: ^^ | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: othereise if wouldnt have been marked as deployed | 23:56 |
| roaksoax | it wouldnt* | 23:57 |
| batkins61 | That's what I thought. But ssh ubuntu@<ip> gives connect refused. In the GUI, that <ip> is what is reported as provided by DHCP for the server. | 23:57 |
| batkins61 | No other interfaces are configured. | 23:58 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: is your interface in "auto assign"? | 23:58 |
| batkins61 | No, DHCP | 23:58 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: probably the machine has a different IP and maas hasnt updated that yet | 23:58 |
| roaksoax | batkins61: try with "auto assign" | 23:59 |
