virtualbox, MAAS: help needed
- by Roberto Attias
Ok, I made some progress wrt the original question (still below). I found /etc/maas/dhcpd.conf contained option domain-name-servers 10.0.3.15, and changed it to 192.168.0.11. After restarting the daemon, I now see "node" getting the right DNS, unfortunately this doesn't fix the main problem, which I believe is the reference to 169.254.169.254. It does introduce a new question: while the remaining information from /etc/maas/dhcp.conf is present in the maas GUI, there is no field to enter the dns address. Why? Anyway, my original problem still stands... Any idea?
Original question follows.
In VirtualBox, I have:
master VM:
ubuntu 12.04.3 server
eth0: Internal Network, IP= 192.168.0.11
eth1: NAT, IP= 10.0.3.15
eth2: Host-only, IP= 192.168.56.102
running MAAS region and cluster controlller, with DHCP and DNS enabled
node VM:
eth0: Internal Network
node VM boots in PXEboot. DHCP succeeds, and the boot process starts, but during boot I see some issues. One of them is "disk drive not ready yet or not present" for / and /tmp.
I've googled this issue, and some people say it happens when the fisical disk is a SSD, which is my case. Anywaythe system seems to recover from this eventually.
Immediately after it starts printing a lot of messages of the form:
2013-10-01 16:52:37,142 - url_helper.py[WARNING]: Calling
'http://169.254.168.254/2009-04-04/meta-data/instance-id failed [x/y]:
url error [[Errno 113] No route to host]
That IP address is clearly bogous, not sure where it came from. Before that point, I had seen the following network configuration:
address: 192.168.0.100
broadcast: 192.168.0.255
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1
dns0 : 10.0.3.15
dns1 : 0.0.0.0
Not sure if related, but the dns doesn't seem right, as node doesn't have an interface to reach 10.0.3.15. If that's the problem, what should I change to have the DNS point to 192.168.0.11?
Thanks,
Roberto
