Juju agent status remains "Allocating" and is not starting on MAAS 2.0 when --storage option is used
Hi,
I am trying to deploy a charm on MAAS 2.0 and making use of Juju Storage
feature, so when I deploy my charm as shown below:
juju deploy ibm-spectrum-scale --storage disks=maas, the machine gets
started and status on MAAS is "deployed" but the juju agent does not
start. The agent message is "agent initializing" and nothing happens after
that.
The same charm gets deployed if I dont give the --storage parameter during
deploy time or use --storage disks=loop. This issue is seen only when i
deploy the charm with --storage disks=maas. I have tried deploying the
charm on AWS environment with --storage disks=ebs, there it works fine and
no issues are seen.
In the juju logs I see the below messages:
to agent config as ["192.168.100.101:17070" "192.168.122.101:17070"]

I compared the logs of the charm that I deployed on AWS and MAAS. In AWS
also when I deploy the charm, same messages are logged, the only
difference is that there its resuming the correct unit ie
ibm-spectrum-scale-manager2-2, but in case of MAAS, it resumes for unit
ibm-spectrum-scale-manager2-3 which does not exist.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue, I need to test my
charm deployment on MAAS making use of juju storage, but unable to do so
due to the above noted behavior.
Thanks and Regards,
Shilpa Kaul

Re: Regarding juju Storage - using MAAS as cloud provider
Hi, I have configured a MAAS cluster and have block device 'sdb' attached to one of the nodes which I am using to deploy my charm as shown below: After this I created a storage pool called maastest with attribute tag as 'sdb' and deployed my charm. In the MAAS controller console I see that the node status is "Failed Deployment" and I see the below error in the UI for the node on which I am trying to deploy the charm making use of MAAS storage: Installing for i386-pc platform. grub-install : error: unable to identify a filesystem in hostdisk//dev/sdb; safety check cant be performed failed to install grub! Command: ['install-grub', 'tmp/tmpqwTtyG/target', '/dev/sdb]' MAAS version is 1.9.4 and Ubuntu version : 14.04 I am new to MAAS and not sure why the above error is coming, can someone please help me in resolving this error.

The Juju storage documentation can be found here: https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/charms-storage As an example, once you have your MAAS storage created and tagged, you could create a storage pool in Juju like this: juju create-storage-pool mypool maas tags= And then you could add a storage constraint to deploy your charm like this: juju deploy --storage disks=mypool,1G I have not tried MAAS storage with Juju so you may need some additional commands. If anyone else has examples of combining MAAS storage with Juju please reply here to let us know.

My charm uses this disk and then creates a file sytem on top of that. I am able to test this on AWS, but now we have got a scenario where we have to deploy the charm on physical servers or VM's. We have configured MAAS for VM's and are able to deploy a sample charm as well using MAAS as cloud provider, but I am not sure how to make use of juju storage options incase of MAAS. Can you please provide us with any contact who can help us in making use of storage option with MAAS as cloud provider.

IIRC juju uses the default profile for LXD, so you could do something like: lxc profile set default raw.apparmor "mount fstype=nfs, mount fstype=nfs4, mount fstype=nfsd, mount fstype=rpc_pipefs," You'll also need to make sure the container is privileged, as unprivileged mounting of nfs is not supported by the kernel right now: lxc profile set default security.privileged true Tycho > By doing this and further steps of installing nfs server and nfs client, I > was able to share files between the LXC containers. > > Now when I run the same charm on Juju 2.0(LXD containers), my charm fails > as the nfs-kernel-server installation fails.

nfs kernel server installation failed in lxd container
Hi, I am using NFS for file sharing in my charm. To install nfs-kernel-server on LXC container(Juju 1.25), I had done the below steps on my host machine : apt-get install nfs-common modprobe nfsd mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd Then edit /etc/apparmor.d/lxc/lxc-default and added the following lines to it and restart the apparmor mount fstype=nfs, mount fstype=nfs4, mount fstype=nfsd, mount fstype=rpc_pipefs, By doing this and further steps of installing nfs server and nfs client, I was able to share files between the LXC containers. Now when I run the same charm on Juju 2.0(LXD containers), my charm fails as the nfs-kernel-server installation fails. In the logs I see the below messages A dependency job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript nfs-kernel-server, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing package nfs-kernel-server (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 On doing journalctl -xe, I see lots of "Operation not permitted" messages and "Failed to mount NFSD configuration filesystem"error messages.

Handling user manual intervention in juju
Hi Team, Can you please help me in finding a solution for a scenario where product configuration or installation involves manual intervention and product does not support silent method for that step.How can this be handled in a charm. For example , consider a scenario where a product is installed and configured using ./install command. The command takes care of all install and configuration but it stops at Accept license step. The user has to either enter 1 for accepting license or 2 for not accepting license. Till now I have not got any equivalent command line option to (ie waiting for license to be accepted) accept the license by default so that install process does not stop for any manual user intervention. How can charm handle such type of scenarios , any insights on this please.

Re: Handling user manual intervention in juju
Thanks Marco, I am adding the accept-license configuration parameter to my config.yaml already , the product installer was waiting at accept license (User has to type 1 for acceptance).I will try the yes command in my charm to avoid the manual intervention.

One thing to take note is you should /never/ really accept license without telling the user what's going on. Other authors have solved this in a more simple fashion. They've added a configuration option on the charm, accept-license which is a boolean which defaults to False. The description of the configuration option outlines where to read the license in full. Then, in your config-changed hook don't proceed with the install script until the user flips accept-license configuration option. You can usually get around the prompting of the install script with the `yes` command. If the script expects you to just type y then you can do `yes | ./install` if it needs a full yes or another phrase you can change that using the yes command `yes yes | ./install` as an example.
