| gimmic | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25025233/ | 13:49 |
| gimmic | trying to deploy to a node after clearing the default storage configuration and specifying raid0 across three drives | 13:50 |
| gimmic | I am assuming it is having problems clearing the partitions | 14:10 |
| gimmic | Eventually failing on 14.04 with "/sys/class/block/dm-11 had no syspath (/sys/class/block/dm-11)" | 14:10 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: that seems like a curtin issue. Curtin should be clearing what was leftover on the disk before proceeding | 14:19 |
| gimmic | Yeah. I saw a curtin update and hoped it fixed it, not so lucky | 14:19 |
| gimmic | To test, is there a good way to boot the machine to a workable state I can clear the drive configurations out of myself? | 14:31 |
| gimmic | Maybe recommission the host and allow ssh? | 14:31 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: rescue mode ? | 14:41 |
| gimmic | Hadn't used rescue mode yet. Commissioning w/ ssh on worked. I verified /dev/sda4 was still allocated to a vg | 14:42 |
| gimmic | oh, unless that was the commission bits. Need caffiene | 14:44 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: no, commissioning doesn't do anything with storage, so you are correct | 14:46 |
| tlian | QUESTION: What port/service does MAAS talk to in adding (enlisting & commissiong) new machine? | 15:36 |
| tlian | I am seeing the following error | 15:36 |
| tlian | maasserver.websockets.protocol: [critical] Error on request (88) machine.action: No rack controllers can access the BMC of node: servername | 15:36 |
| tlian | MAAS and the HW management network (Cloud service) are on a different Network. So, the issue is similar to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1547275 | 15:37 |
| tlian | Now I need to go talk to Cloud service team to open up a port so it can communicate with MAAS. What port/service (http/https/ssh ...) should I have them open? | 15:37 |
| roaksoax | tlian: that seems like your rack controller cannot communicate with the BMC's of the machines | 15:38 |
| roaksoax | tlian: I'm guessing that's IPMI machines | 15:38 |
| roaksoax | so that would be IPMI ports | 15:38 |
| tlian | yes. correct | 15:38 |
| tlian | roaksoax: thank. I will give that a shot | 15:39 |
| julen | hi! I am having a little issue as well... with commissioning | 15:41 |
| julen | are there some extra settings for the using MaaS behind a http_proxy, which are not just adding the proxy address on the controller? | 15:41 |
| julen | While attempting to commission a node, it ends up with "Failed commissioning" and the syslog says that the systemd-timesynctl was timed out | 15:43 |
| julen | ... and why is the node not getting the http_proxy variable as global? ... yes, apt works, but the rest of snapd and stuff keep producing errors | 15:47 |
| julen | roaksoax? | 15:47 |
| mup | Bug #1702509 opened: [2.2.1] DNS locks up regularly <MAAS:Triaged> <MAAS 2.2:Triaged> <https://launchpad.net/bugs/1702509> | 16:10 |
| gimmic | roaksoax: yup, if I clean up the LVM the system deploys! | 16:29 |
| gimmic | Is there any way I can script the partition management better? I have hundreds of nodes | 16:29 |
| gimmic | the whole point of maas is that I don't have to worry about touching the bare metal as much | 16:29 |
| gimmic | going to validate it now with a fresh node and see if pre-emptively nuking the straggler LVM fixes it | 16:29 |
| gimmic | Basically, the templated storage pre-config is not good for my environment at all | 16:31 |
| gimmic | Another question.. why doesn't maas show me what the dhcp leased address is for a node? It knows what it is, it knows the dhcp pool, it knows the arp table.. I can manually look it up but (auto assign) doesn't help much. | 16:40 |
| gimmic | It should show (auto assigned: 10.10.20.23) | 16:40 |

| gimmic | roaksoax: so the installation process seems to fail to properly remove the vg 'vg_lscratch' during deployment | 16:53 |
| gimmic | I wish there was a "erase disk partitions prior to deployment" checkbox | 16:53 |
| gimmic | seems like that would clear it all up | 16:54 |
| gimmic | maybe during comissioning | 16:54 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: 'release' your failed deployment machine and erase the disks : ) | 17:00 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: or you can create your own commssioning script | 17:00 |
| julen | roaksoax: I am just looking into that. I just want to try to get the http_proxy variable set as global | 17:02 |
| julen | I have tried adding something after driver_04_load in the /etc/maas/preseeds/curtin_userdata but it does not take it while commissioning | 17:04 |
| gimmic | roaksoax: I think even saying erase the disks is failing to clean up this lvm mess | 17:10 |
| gimmic | these nodes are hosed. Easiest way I found to clean up the partitions is just to dd zeroes at the start of each.. ugh | 17:14 |

| gimmic | Are there any examples of commissioning scripts? | 18:05 |
| gimmic | roaksoax: telling the failed node to erase disks seems to have hung | 18:06 |
| julen | gimmic: I am also looking into that right now | 18:06 |
| julen | There is this page: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/06/02/customising-maas-installs/ | 18:07 |
| gimmic | I assume my issue is related to the same reason curtin is failing, "WARNING: Duplicate VG name vg_lscratch" and issues removing it cleanly | 18:07 |
| julen | but it seems a little outdated | 18:07 |
| gimmic | My issue seems to arise from how we repurposed drives from similar nodes to populate out the systems | 18:08 |
| julen | I guess both of our problems could be solved the same way: finding out how to modify the preseed | 18:08 |
| gimmic | so we have duplicate vgs in lvm, but I don't even want to use LVM. I just want to nuke the disk partitions from orbit and install | 18:08 |
| julen | gimmic: and it is failing while commissioning, right? | 18:09 |
| gimmic | Initially. Then it fails during deployment too | 18:09 |
| julen | I cannot even manage to get the commissioning properly | 18:09 |
| julen | a good question would be... on the older documentation, it says that one could modify the preseeds at /etc/maas/preseeds, but at the moment they look quite cryptic | 18:11 |
| julen | the "commissioning" file contains just "{{preseed_data}}", but where is that defined?? | 18:11 |
| julen | gimmic: still there? | 18:46 |
| gimmic | Yup | 18:46 |
| julen | I just found out how it works | 18:46 |
| gimmic | still poking around | 18:47 |
| julen | it's actually quite simple | 18:47 |
| julen | your thing is more tricky, but you can probably get a lot done with a commissioning script | 18:47 |
| julen | do you already know how to do it? | 18:48 |
| gimmic | im currently looking at throwing them all into rescue mode and simply tackling it with a remote bash script | 18:48 |
| gimmic | I would still need a custom deploy script to do some other tweaks, like setting up the storage automagically and allocating matching IP addresses | 18:49 |
| julen | but the commissioning script part, you already understand it, right? | 18:49 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: it could be that it is actually erasing which takes time | 20:21 |
| roaksoax | gimmic: therey should be a quick erase option | 20:21 |
