| jianghuaw | hi, can we use MAAS to manage the VMs created on XenServer? | 14:24 |
|---|---|---|
| jianghuaw | I'm planning to deployment OpenStack by using XenServer+MAAS+JUJU. | 14:25 |
| jianghuaw | But I'm not sure if the VMs can be managed by MAAS. | 14:25 |
| jianghuaw | What I hope to do do is: 1). boot several VMs(from xenserver) 2). use maas to commission them; and then 3) use them in juju to deploy OpenStack services. | 14:54 |
| jianghuaw | Can it work? Thanks in advance for any input. | 14:55 |
| ybaumy | xen is not supported IMO | 14:56 |
| ybaumy | i dont see it in powertypes | 14:56 |
| jianghuaw | ybaumy, yes, xen is not in powertypes. Can we make the VMs just as baremetal? Manually power on/off the VMs; only let MAAS to bootstrap VMs. | 15:11 |
| jianghuaw | and let JUJU to use these VMs? | 15:12 |
| ybaumy | you could try manual. add the mac address and then add the node | 15:13 |
| ybaumy | but i dont know much more about it | 15:13 |
| ybaumy | im using vmware | 15:13 |
| jianghuaw | ybaumy, how are you using VMware with MAAS? | 15:14 |
| ybaumy | the same as you inted to use it with xen | 15:14 |
| ybaumy | add vcenter nodes + maas commission + juju deploy | 15:14 |
| jianghuaw | does it work well? | 15:15 |
| ybaumy | well there is a bug with disk boot order but besides that yes it works well | 15:15 |
| jianghuaw | I'm glad to know of it. Thanks. | 15:15 |
| jianghuaw | I will test it with xen on tomorrow. | 15:16 |
| ybaumy | but i have to say .. i dont use it in production yet. so be careful | 15:16 |
| ybaumy | :D | 15:16 |
| jianghuaw | I see. Anyway I got more confidence. Thanks. | 15:17 |
| ybaumy | another thing. you cannot add chassis vcenter from maas. you have to use commandline. just a tip if you move that way | 15:19 |
| ybaumy | protocol must be https+unverfied if you dont have a valid ssl cert | 15:20 |
| jianghuaw | thanks for the tips. | 15:20 |
| jianghuaw | how did you resolve the disk boot order issue or any workaround? | 15:21 |
| ybaumy | that was one thing i searched myself to death. | 15:21 |
| ybaumy | well i add one disk to commission currently | 15:21 |
| ybaumy | and then add the second and third disks for the ceph-osd nodes afterwards | 15:21 |
| jianghuaw | ok. I will follow the same way:-) | 15:22 |
| ybaumy | once the nodes are ready you can modify disks | 15:22 |
| ybaumy | i hope devs will fix that soon | 15:22 |
| jianghuaw | Have you filed a bug? | 15:23 |
| ybaumy | yes and another guy | 15:23 |
| jianghuaw | Do you have the bug# at the moment? | 15:23 |
| ybaumy | https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1673726 https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1673724 | 15:24 |
| ybaumy | the second from the other guy descibes it better i guess | 15:25 |
| jianghuaw | cool. Thanks for the sharing. | 15:25 |
| ybaumy | i thought it is scsi id related | 15:25 |
| ybaumy | because i have always trouble with ids in SUSE | 15:26 |
| jianghuaw | :-) | 15:27 |
