Hi guys,
Is there a way to duplicate a storage layout made into the Web Interface for an other node ? I have 32 new servers made identical and replicate the storage layout manually is time consuming.
I don’t want to play with storage in curtin file too.
Did you try to use something like Selenium or Kantu to register the creation ? I did without full success 
I was wondering if the storage layout was stored somewhere and could be possibly duplicate to others machine.
Thank you,
Ludwig
You can’t copy it through web UI so there are two possibilities:

decode it with
base64 -d - > maas_setup_storage.sh
this script probably wont work for you but use it as a inspiration.
Thank you for your answer, I’ll give a try to the cloud init option.
Hi ludww,
Unfortunately you can’t duplicate the storage layout of a machine through the UI currently but you might find this API call useful:
PPOST /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/?op=clone
You can see more details about it in the API docs.
Best,
Lilyana
Hello Lilyana,
Thank you for your answer, I was finally able to configure my Postman to play with MAAS API, several requests work fine however the clone don’t :
Unrecognised signature: method=POST op=clone
Any idea why it does not work ?
I’m using MAAS 2.5.3
Thank you,
Ludwig
Hi Ludwig,
This API call was added with the 2.6 release, so if you’d like to make use of it I’d suggest upgrading to MAAS 2.6.1 (the latest released version).
You can install it from ppa:maas/2.6 (note also published to ppa:maas/stable, which has been deprecated in favour of major-version PPAs).
Best,
Lilyana
Hi Lilyana,
Ok that make sense ! I will see if we can schedule the upgrade here.
Thanks a lot again 
Ludwig
