Guest81200hi02:42
Guest81200hello ther02:43
Guest81200there02:43
pmatulishello02:43
thetravhello02:44
Guest81200I just have a question02:44
Guest81200i need to implement a service02:44
Guest81200new service with openstack02:44
Guest81200bot i realy don't understand how JUJU can heolpme02:45
Guest81200I have been created  a BareMetal as a service02:45
Guest81200with MaaS02:45
Guest81200but I can't understand for example if it's necesary to deploy juju for that02:46
Guest81200or if juju can helpme with containers02:47
Guest81200...02:47
thetravMaaS can give you servers with Ubuntu installed on them02:48
thetrav"bare metal"02:48
Guest81200ok02:48
thetravJuJu is a larger beast, that can install software on top of those servers02:48
thetravthat software is packaged up into "charms"02:49
thetravdisclaimer: I have not used JuJu02:49
thetravOpenstack is software02:49
Guest81200ok sooo with maas i can get servers (elastic from the metal) and with juju i can install under the servers all type of software allowed02:50
thetravthe word elastic doesn't mean much to me in that context02:50
Guest81200thats right02:50
thetravif you're looking to deploy openstack, you probably are looking to let your users spin up their own VMs02:51
thetravnot so much to allow them to take control of entire servers (physical hardware)02:51
thetravwhat I would expect is that you use something like MaaS to manage your fleet of hardware, then JuJu to manage the deployment of openstack, which will contain a hypervisor and all the control software to allow users to make the hypervisor do stuff for them02:52
Guest81200mmm no this service will allow the user to get dedicated server in a BareMetal way with MAAS an JUJU02:53
Guest81200that will be the limit of the user02:53
Guest81200im traying to implement a service of BareMetal with MAAS for users, but that is gonna be like a VIP service02:55
Guest81200dedicated server with that technology02:55
thetravif you just want to provide bare metal, you can do that without JuJu02:57
Guest81200ok02:57
thetravat my last job I used MaaS without juju02:57
thetravI was the only user of MaaS though02:58
thetravI had a lot of trouble getting https to work for the web UI02:58
Guest81200was difficult the support while you operate the service?03:00
thetravI don't understand your question03:01
thetravI had no engagement with canonical support staff...?03:01
Guest81200what i try to say was, if the implementation and operation of the service is complicated03:03
Guest81200for you03:03
Guest81200in your own experience03:04
thetravoh ok03:04
thetravthat is a tricky one to answer03:04
Guest81200jajaja03:04
thetravWhen implementing MaaS I did not have an infrastructure background03:04
Guest81200oh03:05
thetravI am a software developer03:05
thetravSo there was a lot for me to learn, and I made a lot of mistakes03:05
thetravHard to tell if it's because the product is complicated, or if I just didn't know enough03:05
thetravOnce i learned it all it made a lot of sense03:06
Guest81200ok03:06
Guest81200thanks for your help !03:08
Guest81200it was a great to know your opinion03:09
thetravno worries03:12
thetravoh03:12
thetravother thing to note is that this time zone doesn't often have many people in the chat room03:12
thetravI found it pretty hard to ask anyone questions about how to MaaS properly03:12
Guest81200oh03:14
Guest81200ok so at what time it's better to be hear?03:15
Guest81200*here03:16
thetravdunno... I think the devs are in UK03:19
ybaumyis there a way to logon to a failed commission machine06:23
ybaumyi need to debug06:23
ybaumyi tried ubuntu/ubuntu06:23
ybaumydoes this even work06:28
ybaumyanyone here? before i search myself to death06:28
ybaumyi tried uncommenting /etc/maas/preseeds/enlist_userdata06:34
ybaumyand then ubuntu/ubuntu again06:34
ybaumybut that doesnt work06:34

ybaumyhow can i debug a failed commission machine?08:28
brendandybaumy, if using a recent version of maas, start by checking for /var/log/maas/rsyslog/<hostname>/08:32
ybaumybrendand: too bad there is nothing logged there. it fails before it starts to log with rsyslog08:36
ybaumythats my problem08:36
ybaumyi need to logon to the machine somehow08:36
ybaumyi setup a test VM with the same networks and everything is working08:37
ybaumyso it cannot be networking related as far as i can see08:37
ybaumythe strang thing is on default network in maas the commissioning works08:38
ybaumystrange08:38
ybaumycan i capture screen output in vmware somehow?08:49
ybaumyfrom the console08:49
ybaumyit says reached target network so this is working08:58
ybaumybut then nothing08:58
ybaumyi could also read that no datasource found08:59
ybaumywhat datasource is meant there? local or internet?09:00
ybaumyif local which one09:00
ybaumyif internet then the test that was successfull was failed in the end?09:00

DesktopManwhat configuration is wrong if a deployed node doesn't have internet access while the maas server does?10:11
DesktopManapt works but nothing else. does maas only supply repository access?10:14
ybaumyDesktopMan: if apt works you probably have set a apt proxy10:15
DesktopManI didn't manually but I guess maas does automatically10:16
ybaumyDesktopMan: have you succesfully setup a node in this subnet with internet access before or is it the same as the maas default network?10:17
DesktopMandefault. so I guess I need to do more10:17
ybaumyDesktopMan: if so . have you set subnet gateway and dns server?10:17
=== frankban|afk is now known as frankban
DesktopMandoes the maas server do nat by default? or do I need to set that up10:18
ybaumyDesktopMan: i dont think so10:19
ybaumyDesktopMan: i setup nat on my asa firewall10:19
ybaumyDesktopMan: but now im using internal ntp and apt proxy and everything working10:20
DesktopManhow does maas compare with openstack ironic? trying to figure out pros/cons10:31
ybaumyi use maas to deploy openstack on top of it10:32
DesktopManwith juju or something else? or did you install openstack manually after deploying from maas10:34
ybaumyyes i use juju10:34
ybaumyvmware + maas + juju + openstack10:34
DesktopManright. do you run the juju controller on the same host as the maas controller? wondering if I should split them10:35
ybaumyno. i setup juju controllers on different vm's10:36
DesktopManright10:36
DesktopManwhy do you have multiple juju controllers? lots of hardware?10:36
ybaumyi have 3 datacenter setup. so i deploy the controllers to each datacenter10:36
DesktopManmakes sense10:37
DesktopManhave you looked at Fuel at all?10:39
DesktopManwondering how it stacks up to maas+juju10:39
ybaumyhavent yet10:39
ybaumyim still dreaming the dream that i can setup everything with this... but there are always problems10:40
DesktopManhehe10:41
ybaumyits still a POC10:41
ybaumyand i have time10:42
ybaumyelse i would have switched to suse cloud 7 or redhat already10:42
DesktopManyeah we're also just doing exploratory testing right now10:42
ybaumyright now im having trouble with commissioning hosts on another subnet. there is no way to troubleshoot this. which is really annoying10:44
ybaumyor at least i dont know the way10:44
cnfmorning10:52
strauss_how can I set debugging on for seperate components?11:23
strauss_for e.g: IPMI? where is the IPMI config for or before power on?11:24
roaksoaxstrauss_: there is, but it only tells the machine to PXE boot11:25
strauss_I know. it powers on my machine but stuck in provisioning state11:28
strauss_I want to use IPMI to set next boot PXE in ILO11:29
strauss_so how is the workflow defined? I select action commision node. IPMI powers on node pxe and get bootimage. I more detailed IPMI config11:31

ybaumyis there a problem with vm's and multiple subnets14:13
ybaumyi have 4 subnets. all on different vlans14:14
ybaumyon the default interface of the maas server the commissioning works14:14
ybaumyon all others it doesnt14:14
ybaumybut the interfaces are untagged all14:15
ybaumyim getting dhcp packets14:15
ybaumywhich is nice ... the vm boots up but then cloud-init fails with data source missing14:16
ybaumybut i cannot read the output from the console because its too fast. there is no rsyslog logging yet because its in a too early stage14:17
ybaumydoes fabric-0 untagged need to speak with fabric-1 untagged for example during the installation?14:29

ybaumyso i installed a second rack controller added the subnet there now commissioning works17:02
ybaumythe question is do i have to install a rack controller for every subnet now17:02

derekcatHey, anyone around?21:57
derekcat>_<22:12
andrew-iiI'm here, but not likely helpfully so. (I have a wierd problem where I can't establish SSL with cloud-images.ubuntu.com unless I deploy it twice22:16
andrew-iiI'm kinda starting to think SuperMicro just has lousy network cards22:17
derekcatOh weird..22:20
derekcatYeah..  Something I did at some point seems to have changed to prevent me from releasing/erasing a node that was doing the lifecycle fine before..22:20
derekcatHaven't noticed anything like that with our SuperMicro machines, but we're using a big mix of different cards so I'm not even sure which ones are the onboards at the moment.22:21
derekcatYeah, nothing related to this seems to be working...  Can't properly release, commission, or deploy..22:35
derekcatno useful error messages, other than maybe: provisioningserver.utils.services: [critical] mDNS observation process failed22:35
derekcatBut I can't find anything about it [comes up after the node has PXE booted from MAAS, and the node's console it filled with cloud-init messages about handlers.py[WARNING] failed posting event22:35
roaksoaxderekcat: check that /etc/maas/rackd.conf is notpointint to localhost, but rather, an IP address the machine you deploying can reach to22:38
derekcatroaksoax: yep, the maas_url is pointed at my VIP22:39
andrew-iiI have a simple setup where my region controller is also my rack controller. It's currently telling me that it is "Missing connections to 1 region controller(s)." even though its the same machine23:14
andrew-iiIs that likely related to what's going on with https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1660182 ?23:14
andrew-iiDoes it never attempt to reconnect? (Logs have to go back more than a day where there seems to be an issue.)23:15
roaksoaxandrew-ii: i believe that's fixed in 2.223:18
andrew-iiI'm on 2.1.3 - if I'm mostly just experimenting, would it be a good idea to switch to next? Or should I just ignore that error?23:20
roaksoaxandrew-ii: restart maas-rackd and/or maas-regiond too if needed23:20
roaksoaxandrew-ii: after the fix in 2.2 we have not seen the error so, we just need to make sure it is the case before we backport23:21
andrew-iiroaksoax: Oh of course, one moment...23:21
andrew-iiroaksoax: I should have realized that would fix it. `systemctl restart maas-rackd` did it.23:25
