Landscape installation takes a long time

Question

I'm installing Landscape with the Landscape OpenStack Autopilot:

Bootstrapping Juju took 233 sec
Preparing Landscape: 10 sec
Deploying Landscape has so far used 2620 sec (43 minutes, 40 seconds).

This is a very long time. Is it normal?

It just got to 3000 and gave an error:

From installer log:

File "/usr/share/openstack/cloudinstall/multi_install.py", line 771, in run_deployer
    raise Exception("Error deploying Landscape.")
Exception: Error deploying Landscape. )

A bit from the log :

Maybe the services didn't come up? looks like deployer timed out before all the services started. In any case, check out these troubleshooting tips: http://askubuntu.com/questions/610922/landscapes-ubuntu-openstack-autopilot-troubleshooting-help — battlemidget, May 21 '15 at 14:09

Looks like the MAAS nodes never left the "pending" state. Can you select a node in MAAS and click "start", and see if it reaches the "Deployed" state?

I suggest to configure juju to use MAAS (https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/config-maas) and then try to bootstrap and deploy the simple ubuntu charm to all nodes. This is a good pre-flight check.

Once you have the ~/.juju/environments.yaml file configured as per instructions from the link above, it's a simple matter of:

juju bootstrap
juju deploy ubuntu -n N

Where N is the number of nodes you have in MAAS minus 1 (which was used for bootstrapping).

I can see one node in MAAS that has been deployed during the installation: svvu15maasctrl01.sky.v.no Deployed admin. – Ludwig May 22 '15 at 08:23
Thanks for you answer - it looks like, at first, my MAAS does not work properly. With deploying nodes, it works ok first time (submission and deploy) but when JUJU want to use MAAS I get a lot of error messages in the MAAS log - and I may relate them to the servers running on Vmware.(yes,libvirt is installed and power controll is working) I think I should try now to install MAAS an JUJU at Bare Metal. – Ludwig May 28 '15 at 09:23
MAAS works just fine with VMs, both for nodes and itself. I use it all the time in this way and it's great for testing. Usually the initial difficulties are around networking. – Andreas Hasenack May 28 '15 at 13:31
