Hi Ivan,

Read your article:

https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/01/15/virtualbox-extensions-for-maas/

I've a similar setup. MAC OS X Yosemite is the host. VirtualBox is doing the virtualization. I've got two MAAS Cluster Controllers (VMs). The first one is also a region controller. And as an outcome of trials, I've got four guest VMs acting as nodes.

Followed your article, successfully installed your extensions and performed post-installation steps. The host extensions are also installed on MAC OS X. However, when I try to start the VMs from MAAS GUI, the VMs just don't load. I get the following msg:

"The action "Start selected nodes" could not be performed on 4 nodes because their state does not allow that action."

At first I tried by specifying the last 12 digits of guests' (nodes) UID of the guest in MAC address field of Power parameters. That didn't work. Then I used the MAC address which was appearing in nodes' properties. Thats what I also saw in the initial bootup of nodes when it was receiving the IP address. That MAC address also didn't help.

I've struggled for quite a few days before writing. Please help.

Regards,
RP

Hi,

Does this work on windows?

maas:x:112:118::/var/lib/maas:/bin/false
I hope i didn't break the server now by adding maas to sudo and giving it a passwd , should'av made a snapshot first . I don't understand how at one point the wiki says wol is no longer supported but then later in the power on it instructs to use wake-on-lan
yes i did manage to break the system , couldn't access the server anymore after doing maas to sudo and passwd nor after i reverted both group and passwd
i had to reinstall . I installed virsh (libvirt-bin) and found a small wol (Aquila Technology -WOL) windows app that finds all vbox guests ok but i'm still in the process of getting the commissioning to work .
Make a snapshot before doing any experiments with any modifications , this post is also two years old keep that in mind guys or you might end up bald ..

I needed the ether_wake, so I couldn't overload it. I read through what you did and wrote a little hack that adds a new 'type' and does the 'poweron' for it. I couldn't have done it without your example. Thanks! -g
