[11:51] <eriklonroth> Hello Channel! I'm looking for some kind of installation guide for MAAS to try out as a reference. Is there some well known source for this apart from the official documentation ?
[12:36] <roaksoax> eriklonroth: what type of guide are you looking for ?

[12:53] <eriklonroth> I'm just looking ahead to avoid any obvious problems before I start =)

[18:00] <JH_> I guess it must have been reported already, but I couldn't find any channel logs. But the maas.io https certificate expired this morning.
[19:46] <klj1218> looking for some help, new to maas, just installed 2.3.0~beta2. I can deploy ubuntu images, but deploying centos 7 fails. the install completes and reports "Installation finished. No error reported.", but when the system reboots and boots from local disk it doesn't find a bootable disk

[19:47] <klj1218> https://www.dropbox.com/s/igm7c97zwp7btc4/rpviewer-2.png?dl=0
[19:49] <klj1218> my systems have 5 disks, 1 ssd and 4 nvme ... if I pull the 4 nvme, the centos install completes and reboots OK
[19:49] <klj1218> ubuntu 17.10 install on the same hardware with all disks (5) present works just fine
[19:50] <klj1218> trying to find help to debug
[21:15] <andyshinn> the API for POST /api/2.0/machines/{system_id}/ op=deploy has a user_data field (i'm presuming, cloud-init would use this a config source if the user data has a #cloud-config header). is there a way to set user_data in the UI that i have missed? i didn't see any way to do this. i am playing with 2.2 (didn't see this as a feature in 2.3)
[21:50] <roaksoax> andyshinn: no
[21:50] <roaksoax> andyshinn: only available via the API
[21:51] <roaksoax> klj1218: beta2?? you should upgrade to final and re-try
[21:51] <roaksoax> klj1218: we can't support your if you still running beta2
[21:51] <roaksoax> given that final has a lot of fixes
[21:54] <klj1218> roaksoax: I installed MASS from 17.10 media, running apt update says "All packages are up to date."
[21:55] <klj1218> roaksoax: where should I pull the updates from?
[22:03] <klj1218> roaksoax: I'm guessing this will give me the latest 2.3
[22:03] <klj1218> roaksoax: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maas/stable
[22:18] <andyshinn> would the MAAS team entertain a feature request to allow user data to be set in the UI at deploy or configuration time (similar to how you might do with AWS or GCP instances)?
[22:21] <roaksoax> klj1218: yes, the ppa woyuld be good. 2.3 final should be landing in the ubuntu archives soon
[22:22] <roaksoax> andyshinn: such feature request is something we have had discussed before, but not necessarily something that's a priority right now. Although, we do have it in mind
[22:22] <klj1218> roaksoax: just updated the system and I'm currently re-running my test
[22:25] <roaksoax> klj1218: sounds good, let me know how it goes
[22:25] <roaksoax> klj1218: also, are you sure the BIOS is set to the correct disk for booting, that could be the issue as well
[22:25] <roaksoax> klj1218: and there's an ongoing discussion over the mailing list
[22:26] <andyshinn> ok, i didn't see it listed on launchpad bugs. could i create it so it could be followed? i understand it is a low priority / nice to have thing. but being able to track it so i know when / if status changes would be nice
[22:26] <klj1218> roaksoax: oh I will :)
[22:26] <klj1218> roaksoax: yup, the BIOS doesn't let me set the NVME disk for boot
[22:26] <roaksoax> andyshinn: yeah for sure!
[22:27] <klj1218> roaksoax: same failure as before
[22:28] <klj1218> roaksoax: after the install, which the logs say finished with error, the system reboot from local disk and fails
[22:29] <klj1218> roaksoax: this is the screenshot from the console
[22:29] <klj1218> https://www.dropbox.com/s/igm7c97zwp7btc4/rpviewer-2.png?dl=0
[22:37] <roaksoax> klj1218: that seems like the bios is trying to boot from a disk that does not have the bootloader on
[22:37] <roaksoax> klj1218: /win 2
[22:37] <roaksoax> err
[22:37] <klj1218> roaksoax: yup I agree
[22:38] <klj1218> roaksoax: how can I go about debugging to see what device it actually installed centos7 on
[22:40] <roaksoax> klj1218: maas should tell you what device it was installed on, you can see the serial of the device
[22:40] <klj1218> roaksoax: where can I see that?
[22:41] <roaksoax> klj1218: in the UI or via the API on the storage section
[22:43] <klj1218> roaksoax: ok, yup it installed to an nvme device
[22:43] <klj1218> roaksoax: that wasn't the device originally selected in the UI for install ... it was choosing my sda device
[22:44] <klj1218> roaksoax: but after the install it has switched it to the nvme0n1-part2... these devices are not bootable from the system BIOS
[23:03] <klj1218> roaksoax: so deploying the ubuntu 17.10 image preserves my selection of the sda disk as boot
[23:06] <klj1218> roaksoax: but choosing to deploy centos 7 for some reason is switching my boot device to the nvme0n1 device
