| elox | Hello. Is there a good guide as how to manually install a juju-controller for a maas cloud without having to perform a "juju bootstrap" process from the API. E.g. I have a node already installed and just want to connect it to a maas. | 08:16 |
|---|---|---|
| zin | hello | 13:49 |
| CR | howdy, I am starting up trying to use MAAS and I have a node that has trunked ports connected to it, I am able to get it to PXE boot by setting the VLAN in the NIC's PXE options and starts loading the OS but it does not get a DHCP address in the OS. I have the VLAN ID in the VLAN config in MAAS and also tried just passing vlan=vlan830 in the kernel boot options. | 13:49 |
| CR | Am I missing something? | 13:50 |
| roaksoax | CR: pxe boot process doens't use tagged interfaces | 13:51 |
| roaksoax | CR: so if your PXE is happening on a VLAN, there should be switch port configured with that vlan so the interface doens't have to be tagged (e.g. eth0.830) | 13:52 |
| roaksoax | CR: dunno if that's what you were asking | 13:52 |
| CR | so it gets the PXE image, it's getting that far and gets the initrd images, it's once it hits hte "IP-Config" part | 13:53 |
| roaksoax | right, so the image itself doens't get dhcp ? | 13:56 |
| roaksoax | CR: maybe the hardware you are using is a hardware for which the drivers are not available | 13:56 |
| CR | It's a Dell R910 w/ Broadcom NICs | 13:57 |
| CR | roaksoax: I see IP-Config: eno1 hardware address 78:2b:cb:xx:xx:xx mtu 1500 DHCP RARP | 13:59 |
| CR | and then times out | 13:59 |
| roaksoax | CR: i would suggest you grub console logs | 13:59 |
| roaksoax | s/grub/grab | 13:59 |
| CR | roaksoax: is that an option in maas or somewhere else? | 14:07 |
| roaksoax | CR: no, i mean the console logs from the server's serial console | 14:17 |
| CR | roaksoax: it appears I need to do something similar to the fix described in here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1382054 Is there a way to pass a VLAN to the initramfs with the standard MaaS setup? | 14:37 |
| roaksoax | CR: that is a feature request in the initrd it seems | 14:52 |
| CR | roaksoax: it would be very useful, our use case is we have a bunch of former VMware ESXi we would like to try out MaaS on and their ports are all configured as trunk ports and it would be a lot easier to boot them and pass the VLAN tag to them then have to get our network team to reconfigure the switchports just to do a POC. | 14:54 |

| roaksoax | cnf: agreed, but that seems that something ubuntu would have to support more generally | 18:16 |
| cnf | hmm? | 18:17 |
| roaksoax | cnf: so, how does the "firmware" deal with the fact you are pxe booting over a VLAN ? | 18:20 |
| cnf | idno | 18:21 |
| roaksoax | err cnf sorry, wrong person :) | 18:22 |
| * roaksoax fail | 18:22 | |
| cnf | :P | 18:23 |
