The proposal to merge lp:~smoser/maas/maas-import-ephemeral into lp:maas has been updated.
Description changed to: This adds support for creating and managing iscsi targets that can then be booted from via cobbler. It sets up a new distro and profile that should then boot instances off of the read-only iscsi disks. Notes: * creates in cobbler: * new distro named <release>-<arch>-maas-ephemeral * new profile named maas-<release>-<arch>-commissioning * adds maas-commissioning preseed that does nothing more than render MAAS_PRESEED * adds script maas-import-ephemeral * This needs to be run at some point after installation, and can be run for updates similar to how maas-import-isos is. Failure to run its update will not result in failed use like import-isos does (ie, archive moving doesn't hurt this) * adds script maas-cloudimg2ephemeral This converts the cloudimg from cloud-images.ubuntu.com into something suitable for use here, and generates new initramfs that uses overlay Still to do: * cleanup of old images (currently doees not do this) * replace cloud-images and repacking code with maas-ephemeral server maas-commissioning.preseed * run maas-import-ephemeral from maas-import-isos Things needed in packaging: * depend on tgt * get the /var/lib/maas/ephemeral/tgt.conf file included in tgt's config. (so its iscsi targets are started on boot). I suggest doing this by: * append (if not present) to /etc/tgt/targets.conf this: include /etc/tgt/conf.d/*.conf * create /etc/tgt/conf.d * symlink /var/lib/maas/ephemeral/tgt.conf /etc/tgt/conf.d * run maas-import-ephemeral via cron For more details, see: https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/maas/maas-import-ephemeral/+merge/101155 -- https://code.launchpad.net/~smoser/maas/maas-import-ephemeral/+merge/101155 Your team Launchpad code reviewers is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~smoser/maas/maas-import-ephemeral into lp:maas. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
