I am trying to use maas 3.6 and libvirt (virt-install) to pxe boot vms. I am getting errors regarding the power configuration. I have confirmed that my power address and vm id are correct. When I select the option “Skip configuring supported BMC controllers with a MAAS generated username and password”, everything passes except the skipped bmc config, but the commission still fails. I am unsure what to do here.
You can check “skip BMC configuration” when you commission the machine and it should succeed
I did. The result above is when I have that checked. Everything passes but I still get the power configuration error and cannot move onto the next step.
Are you able to power control that VM from MAAS?
I can’t. I apologize if I am misunderstanding anything as I’m new to this. I’ve selected “virsh” for the power type and I get the same power configuration error whenever I do anything.
I think you are not configuring the machine power parameters the right way.
The maas server and vm are on the same physical node.
The power configuration I am using is:
Power type: Virsh (virtual systems)
Address: qemu:///system
Password (optional): none
And the virsh vm id I have set to the id of the vm as listed when I run “virsh list --all”.
I believe I am running into the same issue in this thread:
Don’t think so. If you are using snap you can’t use qemu:///system. You might try debs
Also, I would not recommend to run MAAS on an host where you also host VMs. Unless this is an homelab
