I need to be able to test new MAAS releases before putting them into production. So, I need a second MAAS server to test new releases on. I'd like to be able to run both MAAS servers on the same network, so I can test with the same systems I use in production, and so my production systems don't have to change networks (I don't administer the network, just the systems).
With two MAAS systems on the same network I only want one of the MAAS's to respond when a node boots. I'd like to be able to mark nodes as 'disabled' in the production MAAS so that only the staging MAAS server will respond to their PXE requests, and only the secondary MAAS system will issue IPMI commands to power check the nodes.
When I'm done testing on the secondary MAAS, I will either shut it off or mark the nodes on it 'disabled' and reenable them on the production MAAS.
