So far I haven't seen this come up again. I've had a lot more sucess having the various KVM machines managed by libvirt this time, and following http://askubuntu.com/questions/292061 /how-to-configure-maas-to-be-able-to-boot-virtual-machines so that MaaS can boot the machines at the right time. I wonder if me guessing when a machine needs to be started (and running the KVM command on the host running all these VM's) was sending extra DHCP requests and somehow throwing stuff off? If that is what was happening, I'm not sure if that is a bug or not (depends on if you want the MaaS system able to handle people walking through their datacenter and pressing the power button on some server that is off. I could see MaaS serving an image with instructions that basically say "go back to sleep").
I'm also using the 13.10 version for my MaaS controller, maybe that is what "fixed" it (so for, I hope, crossing fingers). I think I'll set this to incomplete for now since I don't know if this still happens. If it does happen again, I'll just set it back to new. ** Changed in: maas (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to maas in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225695 Title: Node DNS does not stay updated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maas/+bug/1225695/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
