VMs NOT Powering On #1

Open rehanp opened 9 years ago

Hi Ivan,

Read your article:

https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/01/15/virtualbox-extensions-for-maas/

I've a similar setup. MAC OS X Yosemite is the host. VirtualBox is doing the virtualization. I've got two MAAS Cluster Controllers (VMs). The first one is also a region controller. And as an outcome of trials, I've got four guest VMs acting as nodes.

Followed your article, successfully installed your extensions and performed post-installation steps. The host extensions are also installed on MAC OS X. However, when I try to start the VMs from MAAS GUI, the VMs just don't load. I get the following msg:

"The action "Start selected nodes" could not be performed on 4 nodes because their state does not allow that action."

At first I tried by specifying the last 12 digits of guests' (nodes) UID of the guest in MAC address field of Power parameters. That didn't work. Then I used the MAC address which was appearing in nodes' properties. Thats what I also saw in the initial bootup of nodes when it was receiving the IP address. That MAC address also didn't help.

I've struggled for quite a few days before writing. Please help.

Regards, RP

Hi I think I've solved your issue. :D You'll need to run these commands and replace quotes with your-admin-username to your admin username without quotes: sudo maas-region-admin apikey --username="your-admin-username" > ~/VBox_extensions/maas-api-key chmod 600 ~/VBox_extensions/maas-api-key

Hi, this is a great article, I have done all the configurations but when I commission the node and it tries to power on the virtualbox machine does not start, I have a virtualbox MAAS master used the install_extension script as maas id to provision my personal id. When I start the node01 the first time it is found in the MAAS node list, update the wakeonlan and MAC address and custom cluster of id@maasip but the power on will not start and no vbox.log file either, this is ubuntu 14.04 both instance on oracle virtualbox v5.x. Any suggest would be great.

sorry, just to update, there is VBox.log activity VirtualBox-Power ON: Fri Oct 9 15:21:04 MDT 2015 Credentials: cstalker@192.168.56.101 ID: 08002774b029

VirtualBox: Fri Oct 9 15:21:04 MDT 2015 HOME: /var/lib/maas MAC Address: 08:00:27:74:b0:29 Power Change: on

but the virtualbox node01 instance for that mac (which is what shows up in the network) does not power on.
