We are going to install MAAS 3.3.1 version and use it for bare metal provisioning.

maas 3.3.1-13169-g.94920eb1e 26658 - canonical✓ -
During pxe booting at a specific R750 node, we are in a problem that we cannot move on as we are freezing in the following situation.
Booting PXE over IPv4.
Station IP address is 172.20.192.1
Server IP address is 172.20.1.27
NBP filename is bootx64.efi
NBP filesize is 955656 Bytes

Fetching Netboot Image
Booting under MAAS direction…
(hanging)
Other nodes operate normally and are registered in the MAAS “Machine” list in a properly ready state. Even nodes of the model, such as nodes being frozen.
Is there a solution to the problem?
In addition, there is another problem that dns resolve is not possible in the machine where deploy is completed.
It seems to be properly resolved only when applying “$ sudo netplan apply” command, but it does not resolve again when rebooting the node.
Is there a way to resolve the dns record properly without additional command after machine deployment?
we use ubuntu 18.04 bionic and 20.04 focal (both controller server and deployed server)
172.20.1.27: MAAS Server
172.20.50.120: test1 Server
172.20.60.10: test2 Server
maas dns setting
–Upstream DNS used to resolve domains not managed by this MAAS: 172.20.1.27
–Enable DNSSEC validation of upstream zones: Automatic (use default root key)
–List of external networks: (empty)
thats ok, for upstream you can even use any dns of your choice there, but i wanted to ask what machines are there in resource record.
you can find both in maas ui
dns : maas -> dns -> domain -> there will be machines in that domain
logs : maas -> machine -> select your machine -> logs
I think it’s hard to show the log because it’s too much. But there are no specific logs or errors related to the network or dns.
If you tell me the information you want to find, I will search it in the log.
Thank you for your help.
@seochokid i have one concern from the logs you posted in the question is,
Booting PXE over IPv4.
Station IP address is 172.20.192.1
Server IP address is 172.20.1.27
NBP filename is bootx64.efi
NBP filesize is 955656 Bytes

and hanging after that
this usually happen when your deployment fails. In traditional deployment process there are lots of logs after that, So do check that.
Other than that, there is a workaround for DNS. You can add deployment script at the time of deployment.
This link (MaaS DNS issue) might also be useful.
Oh, the log I left in the question is the log for certain nodes that are not deployed. The dns problem occurs at nodes that have been deployed.
Deploy hanging problem was solved by upgrading the NIC firmware version.
Let’s take a look at the link you left. Thank you!
