I am running an Ubuntu 15.04 MAAS Region Controller and trying to bring up my first node. I have tried it with a Dell PowerEdge 2950 and Dell PowerEdge R710 and both have the same problem. They come up, boot from PXE, Get to maas-enlist login prompt, and then crash a Checking System V Runlevel Compatibility. I do mean crash. It immediately powers off the machine. The Error codes from the dell hardware log I have seen are E1422 and E1715. I am running the most recent BIOS, Firmware, and PERC Firmware. I have also tried using Deployment images 14.04 and 15.04 with no change in behavior.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue? I would really like to use OpenStack for virtualization but this is definitely a show stopper.

Are there specific BIOS settings that I need to be running?

Thanks in advance!

I abandoned this effort and went with a Mirantis Distribution of OpenStack using Fuel for hardware provisioning. Worked like a champ.

I started to get enlistment crashes recently the MAAS server itself also run out of memory - I attempted to let the maas-proxy run on another server . . since I was getting hdd full problems. so I usually cleared the MAAS-proxy folder. The out of disk space used to because loading more than two images / distributions. 14.04, 16.04 CENTOS 6, 7 - 6 replaced. so I reduces using CENTOS 6 and 7 completely.

I only played with JUJU a while ago.

but now... recently - 2021 - all the MAAS commissioning are failing... and even the MAAS server itself (after increasing the available hard disk space

the version of MAAS is:

MAAS name: fz119 MAAS

MAAS version: 2.3.5 (6511-gf466fdb-0ubuntu1)

and commissioning / testing fail due to run out of memory. Even the MAAS server run out of memory and I have increased it to 2GB in the virtual machine under Oracle Virtual Box
