Unable to deploy custom OLE 8.9

[prantiknag]

I am getting this following error while trying to deploye OLE 8.9 custom image in barematal server,
“Marking node failed - Missing kernel image custom/amd64/ga-22.04/ol-8.9.”

FYI:

1. Uploaded custom OLE 8.9 with os type custom/ol-8.9
2. Deploy custom OLE 8.9 image with distro_series value custom/ol-8.9

@prantiknag

custom/ol-8.9

The name MUST be ol/<whatever>, not custom/<whatever>

[prantiknag]

I have tried with ol/version, I am getting this following error from canonical -maas
[400 Bad Request] during [POST] to [http://10.0.0.2:5240/MAAS/api/2.0/machines/767at4/op-deploy] [IRestCanonicalMaas#deployMachine(HttpHeaders,String,String)]: [{“distro_series”: [“‘8.9’ is not a valid distro_series.

As per the following link, I have tried in this way,

Informative post about OL8 and OL9 image creation with latest packer-maas

Hi, The following post denotes some issues I came across when creating OL8 and OL9 images: Setup details: maas@maas:~/packer-maas/ol8$ packer --version Packer v1.10.0 maas@maas:~/packer-maas/ol8$ cat /etc/*release* DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04 LTS" NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION_ID="22.04" VERSION="22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish)" VERSION_CODENAME=jammy ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/…

I mean you have to reupload your image and use the name ‘ol/whatever’ for it

[prantiknag]

As per your comment, I have reupload the image and got the following error at the time of os deployment.

Hi @prantiknag ,

This is how someone can upload an Oracle Linux 8.8 image and deploy a machine with it.

$ maas local boot-resources create name='ol/8.8' title='Oracle Linux 8.8' architecture='amd64/generic' filetype='tgz' content@=ol8.tar.gz

$ maas local machine deploy rqew4t distro_series=8.8
or
$ maas local machine deploy rqew4t distro_series=ol/8.8
or
$ maas local machine deploy rqew4t distro_series=ol/8

but not
$ maas local machine deploy rqew4t distro_series=ol8.8

{"distro_series": ["'ol8.8' is not a valid distro_series.  It should be one of: '', 'custom/alma9', 'custom/9-stream-custom', 'custom/9-stream-custom-two', 'ol/8.8', 'ubuntu/bionic', 'ubuntu/jammy', 'ubuntu/lunar', 'ubuntu/noble'."]}

Since Oracle Linux is a supported OS, it is no longer a custom/ but ol/.

distro_series is a matcher that will try to get the first match of all images with the given value. If the ol/ part is omitted, then 8.8 will try to match any OS of that version. If the .8 is omitted, then the first match of any Oracle Linux 8 will be picked. If both are omitted, then the first match of any OS of major version 8 will be picked. This is the beginning of the logic: maas/src/maasserver/forms/__init__.py at master · canonical/maas · GitHub
