Hi all, It had come to the time to re-visit MAAS to see if I could get past my initial problem and given that I'm replying to this email over a month later - I've not managed it. I'm following the instructions at <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure</a> I've got just 2 nodes. One is running MAAS and I've gone through the process of installing another with Precise installed. MAAS reports this as Green and ready. I then continue the instructions: I log into the MAAS server as a normal user. I create the environments.yaml file with the following contents: environments: maas: type: maas maas-server: '<a href="http://172.16.0.250:80/MAAS">http://172.16.0.250:80/MAAS</a>' maas-oauth: 'tcWxFpwbWqyeBFDd4P:HTCSqrsw7XQKBcvm8n:bp67u5TkSLu2wf2b7wUS2ckLjwELCZED' admin-secret: 'nothing' default-series: precise I then create an ssh key ssh-keygen then I do the juju bootstrap juju bootstrap 2012-06-06 21:51:06,959 INFO Bootstrapping environment 'maas' (origin: distro type: maas)... 2012-06-06 21:51:09,598 INFO 'bootstrap' command finished successfully When running juju status I still get the error about the keys. juju status 2012-06-06 21:52:15,600 INFO Connecting to environment... 2012-06-06 21:52:16,081 ERROR Invalid SSH key Running with verbose 2012-06-06 21:52:24,341 DEBUG Initializing juju status runtime 2012-06-06 21:52:24,349 INFO Connecting to environment... 2012-06-06 21:52:24,434 DEBUG Connecting to environment using node-080027dd1de4.local... 2012-06-06 21:52:24,435 DEBUG Spawning SSH process with remote_user="ubuntu" remote_host="node-080027dd1de4.local" remote_port="2181" local_port="52568". 2012-06-06 21:52:24,543 ERROR Invalid SSH key 2012-06-06 21:52:24,942:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@658: Client environment:zookeeper.version=zookeeper C client 3.3.5 2012-06-06 21:52:24,942:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@662: Client environment:<a href="http://host.name">host.name</a>=maas 2012-06-06 21:52:24,943:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@669: Client environment:<a href="http://os.name">os.name</a>=Linux 2012-06-06 21:52:24,943:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@670: Client environment:os.arch=3.2.0-24-generic 2012-06-06 21:52:24,944:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@671: Client environment:os.version=#39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 2012-06-06 21:52:24,945:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@679: Client environment:<a href="http://user.name">user.name</a>=openstack 2012-06-06 21:52:24,945:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@687: Client environment:user.home=/home/openstack 2012-06-06 21:52:24,946:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@log_env@699: Client environment:user.dir=/home/openstack 2012-06-06 21:52:24,946:4525(0x7fcdd688d700):ZOO_INFO@zookeeper_init@727: Initiating client connection, host=localhost:52568 sessionTimeout=10000 watcher=0x7fcdd48316b0 sessionId=0 sessionPasswd=<null> context=0x30fdaf0 flags=0 2012-06-06 21:52:24,947:4525(0x7fcdd15cc700):ZOO_ERROR@handle_socket_error_msg@1579: Socket [<a href="http://127.0.0.1:52568">127.0.0.1:52568</a>] zk retcode=-4, errno=111(Connection refused): server refused to accept the client 2012-06-06 21:52:28,284:4525(0x7fcdd15cc700):ZOO_ERROR@handle_socket_error_msg@1579: Socket [<a href="http://127.0.0.1:52568">127.0.0.1:52568</a>] zk retcode=-4, errno=111(Connection refused): server refused to accept the client 2012-06-06 21:52:31,621:4525(0x7fcdd15cc700):ZOO_ERROR@handle_socket_error_msg@1579: Socket [<a href="http://127.0.0.1:52568">127.0.0.1:52568</a>] zk retcode=-4, errno=111(Connection refused): server refused to accept the client 2012-06-06 21:52:34,957:4525(0x7fcdd15cc700):ZOO_ERROR@handle_socket_error_msg@1579: Socket [<a href="http://127.0.0.1:52568">127.0.0.1:52568</a>] zk retcode=-4, errno=111(Connection refused): server refused to accept the client Any help appreciated!

It looks like a Juju problem. Every time I've encountered it, I've done: juju destroy-environment and then the next bootstrap worked. Cheers -- Francis J.
