maas 1.7.1-rc1 fails discovery

[Daniel Bidwell]

Maas 1.7.1~rc1+bzr3322 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 fails the discovery process.

I have just reinstalled my maas server and configured it to my last working state. (My 3rd reinstall so I am getting proficient at it with my script.)

I PXE boot my client server. It gets an IP address, boots the kernel, loads the initrd and boots up to a login prompt. It then starts the discovery process and gives me:

Cloud-init v. 0.7.5 running 'modules:final' at Thu, 18 Dec 2014 20:19:59 +0000. Up 59.57 seconds. 2014-12-18 20:19:59,991 - util.py[WARNING]: Running ssh-authkey-fingerprints () failed ec2: ec2: ####...#### ec2: -----BEGIN SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: -----END SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS----- ec2: ####...#### Cloud-init v. 0.7.5 finished at Thu, 18 Dec 2014 20:20:00 +0000. Datasource DataSourceNone. Up 59.70 seconds 2014-12-18 20:20:00,017 - cc_final_message.py[WARNING]: Used fallback datasource

Then it just sits there and does nothing and never shows up in the Nodes list. This used to work until I upgraded from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1~rc1. I discovered this when my discovered and commissioned nodes started to fail to deploy. After backtracking all the way back to reinstalling the maas server I believe that it is a problem with 1.7.1~rc1.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? Or an easy way to downgrade back to 1.7.0?

I totally reinstalled from the 14.04 iso and am running maas 1.5.4 and the discovery and commissioning works fine there.

Did it work with 1.7.0 release as well? This could be a bug in MAAS specifically from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1

[Daniel Bidwell (bidwell)]

I think that it worked correctly in 1.7.0, but getting back to 1.7.0 looked like more work than it was worth.

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Thanks, I'll do some runs with 1.7.1 and see if I can reproduce

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Daniel, do you mind trying the packages in our experimental ppa? I've tested this on maas 1.7.0, 1.7.1-rc1-rc4 and haven't run into those particular issues.

Thanks!

[Daniel Bidwell (bidwell)]

OK, I reinstalled the maas machine from 14.04.1 and use maas 1.7.1~rc4
+bzr3340-0ubuntu1~trusty1 and the problem went away. My machines now
install to the disk again. Thanks. It works again.

Thanks Daniel, glad to here it!
