Public bug reported:
On my MAAS box running trusty:
In the MAAS UI, we created a node entry for a server, choosing IPMI and
passing the login credentials, IP for the BMC and the MAC address. On
saving the node, MAAS issued the IPMI command to turn the server on.
The server successfully powered on and PXE booted the enlistment image.
Once enlistment was complete, the server powered off.
On refreshing the MAAS UI, however, the original node we created
manually was shown still in the Commissioning state.
A NEW node was also listed, showing it was in the Delcared state.
What seems to have happened is that MAAS, instead of filling data for
the node we created manually, just created a brand new node instead, and
ignored ours.
The original manual node can be safely deleted.
POSSIBLE CAUSE:
When we created the node originally in the UI, we passed it the MAC address for
the BMC port.
The newly created node, however, lists the MAC addresses for all onboard
ethernet ports, NOT the management port.
If the MAC address part of the Add Node page means MAC for the ethernet
device that PXE boots, the page is misleading and needs to be corrected.
As it stands, I thought that MAC entry was supposed to be for the BMC
MAC address.
