Hello,
It would seem as though MAAS instructs the user to run an invalid (probably old) command when the maas_url configuration is set incorrectly. This was revealed on my local test setup where my MAAS region+rack controller was receiving it's IP via DHCP, and that IP changed along the way. On subsequent attempts at deploying images (using juju bootstrap in this case), it would throw the error:
---
ERROR failed to bootstrap model: cannot start bootstrap instance: unexpected: ServerError: 400 Bad Request (Failed to render preseed: Unable to find MAAS server IP address: Address family for hostname not supported. MAAS's DNS server requires this IP address for the NS records in its zone files. Make sure that the configuration setting for the MAAS URL has the correct hostname. Consult the 'maas-region local_config_set --maas-url' command.)
---
It suggests you "Consult the 'maas-region local_config_set --maas-url' command", which does not appear to exist (anymore?):
---
root@maas:~# maas-region
maas-region: command not found
---
It would appear as though the new command syntax for this would be:
---
maas config --maas-url
---
I would recommend updating the error message to reference the proper command for troubleshooting. Subjectively speaking, the message stating "Address family for hostname not supported" is a bit misleading, since it seems to suggest an IPv4/IPv6 mismatch. Perhaps it's meant as a catch-all? In any case, it might be nice if it only mentioned that if that were actually the case.
Thank you! |
