[14:24] <jianghuaw> hi, can we use MAAS to manage the VMs created on XenServer?
[14:25] <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.
[14:54] <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.
[14:55] <jianghuaw> Can it work? Thanks in advance for any input.
[14:56] <ybaumy> xen is not supported IMO
[14:56] <ybaumy> i dont see it in powertypes
[15:11] <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.
[15:12] <jianghuaw> and let JUJU to use these VMs?
[15:13] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:15] <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.
[15:16] <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
[15:17] <jianghuaw> I see. Anyway I got more confidence. Thanks.
[15:19] <ybaumy> another thing. you cannot add chassis vcenter from maas. you have to use commandline. just a tip if you move that way
[15:20] <ybaumy> protocol must be https+unverfied if you dont have a valid ssl cert
[15:20] <jianghuaw> thanks for the tips.
[15:21] <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
[15:22] <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
[15:23] <jianghuaw> Have you filed a bug?
[15:23] <ybaumy> yes and another guy
[15:23] <jianghuaw> Do you have the bug# at the moment?
[15:24] <ybaumy> https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1673726 https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1673724
[15:25] <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
[15:26] <ybaumy> because i have always trouble with ids in SUSE
[15:27] <jianghuaw> :-)
