One way to reproduce this issue (and the workaround): 1) Install and configure MAAS, with DHCP on at least one subnet on the rack 2) purge maas-rack-controller: this will remove /var/lib/maas/dhcpd.conf 3) reinstall maas-rack-controllerL: this will start the rack controller, but not recreate /var/lib/maas/dhcpd.conf
Note the lack of a dhcpd, due to no config file. 4) use the CLI to disable dhcp (example is fabric 0, untagged vlan): maas SESSION vlan 0 0 dhcp_on=False 5) use the CLI to enable dhcp (same fabric/vlan as #4): maas SESSION vlan 0 0 dhcp_on=True Note that we now have a working dhcpd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1649397 Title: maas-dhcpd.service won't start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1649397/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
