For these instances, I was PXE booting and then they were appearing in MAAS UI. Since then, I have attempted to provision them again, so the logs in the UI are for the most recent (successful) operations.
[I tried to link to the pastebin output of the Logs tab, but this Discourse won’t let me post more than one link since I’m a new user. I think the following is more useful.]
As for the last unsuccessful commissioning attempt, here is the log file that I found in /var/snap/maas/common/log/rsyslog/maas-enlisting-node/2022-11-30:

Part of the problem is in reproducing the error. Since it only happens the first time that I attempt to commission a node, I only have one shot to attempt a new solution.
The one time I tried adding the machine first in MAAS (using “Add Hardware”), I got the output shown in the screenshot that I’m attaching. I’m not sure that’s the exact same problem that’s happening when I PXE boot them without inputting IPMI information first, but the pastebin output that I linked from the failed commission does contain an error about “Failed installing package(s) for 20-maas-01-install-lldpd” so maybe it is the same problem.
