Bug Description

In the last step of the Add Nodes documentation found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS/AddNodes, the user is instructed to click the "Accept & Commission" button to register the node.

However, this button does not exist. Currently my nodes have a status of "Commissioning". I can open up a remote ILOM console and see the node has successfully booted the ephemeral initrd specified in its pxelinux.cfg file. I can also ping the node's IP.

Here's a pic of what my node's view looks like: http://imgur.com/qPuKT

cheers,

james kyle

Thank you for reporting this bug, the reason this was being seen is because the node was stuck in 'commissioning' state, because the ephemeral image contains an out of date cloud-init version.

That button is in the latest trunk but not packaged yet.

Francis, why does this affect the maas trunk? Is that where we are tracking image problems now?

Another work-around is to you set 'STREAM=daily' in /etc/maas/import_ephemerals so that it will pull from daily stream.

You then run maas-import-ephemerals again
