We've set up MAAS with 3 physical nodes. One is the controller node which is configured with a public IP visible from the outside world. The other 2 are on a private VLAN along with the cluster node. MAAS is managing DHCP. And we've installed juju on the cluster node. Now we want to deploy openstack on this setup. We followed the steps given in another post and chose a Multi-Install and eth0 interface( where private IPs are configed and MAAS is handling DHCP). We came to a point where we see this prompt-

enter image description here

We are confused what to do here. If we allow the installer to proceed and create another DHCP, what does the MAAS DHCP do then . What will be its role? And the fact that the prompt warns us of collision between servers confuses us further.

Can someone guide us in the right direction

You'll want to make sure you are using the latest installer bits to make use of installing Openstack on top of an existing MAAS:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/install-ubuntu-openstack

During the installation you will have the opportunity to choose a Multi installation with an existing MAAS. It will prompt you for your MAAS server ip along with the apikey of your MAAS admin user.

Once this is set it'll bootstrap juju onto your existing MAAS deployment and provide you with the ability to manually place your Openstack services or automatically apply services to your existing machines with sensible defaults for quickly getting you up and running with Openstack.

  • Thanks for your answer, but we are now hitting this error django.db.utils.IntegrityError: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "auth_user_username_key". Key (username)=(root) already exists. Is it trying to create a new MAAS superuser? – Pavan Manjunath Oct 31 '14 at 23:39
  • Also it dint prompt IP of the existing MAAS. And it modified our environment.yaml file so much that juju stat itself fails like "ERROR cannot find network interface "lxcbr0": net: no such interface" – Pavan Manjunath Nov 01 '14 at 00:12
  • Make sure you're using version 0.21 of the installer. As the install option 'Multi with existing MAAS' should be an option – battlemidget Nov 01 '14 at 02:56
  • cloud-install has only the following options cloud-install [-ciusha:r:] How to check the version of the installer? I got the installer via sudo apt-get install cloud-installer – Pavan Manjunath Nov 01 '14 at 03:02
  • If you follow the install directions from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/cloud/install-ubuntu-openstack that will get you the required installer. You can also do a dpkg -l to see what version you have – battlemidget Nov 01 '14 at 12:37

make sure you don't have any dhcp server on eth0, either by disabling the dhcp, or configuring in an isolated network environment before you pick an interface to deploy maas on with dhcp enabled
