For certified machines, this sort of thing should be handled automatically by MAAS. Commissioning the machine in MAAS implies you want network IPMI control of the machine, and debugging this is difficult for someone new to the whole world. Servers should not get Ubuntu certification unless this stuff "just works", which means MAAS should enable this itself during enlistment. Also, MAAS should not be accepting machines during enlistment that it cannot then drive over the network; if the BMC is unreachable for example then I would expect a bunch of logs about failed enlistments, and WHY they failed, and MAAS should not create credentials for itself in those cases. So during enlistment: * we detect the IPMI details and enable network access if necessary * we test that we can reach the BMC from a rack controller * we add the secure MAAS credentials for the BMC * we verify that we can test power * then we consider the enlistment a success and record the machine (otherwise, we note the failure and give reasons / pointers in the GUI and log) Mark -- Maas-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/maas-devel
