<div dir="ltr">Looks like curtin is having an issue installing the grub boot loader onto sdb. If you have an sda disk select that disk as the boot disk to see if grub will install to that disk. If not could you please provide the output of the entire installation log on the node details page. Also the output of the curtin config would be helpful, you can get this from the cli.<div> </div><div>maas {session} node {system_id} get_curtin_config</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 19, 2016 at 3:20 PM, Shilpa Kaul <<a href="mailto:shilkaul@in.ibm.com" target="_blank">shilkaul@in.ibm.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi, I have configured a MAAS cluster and have block device 'sdb' attached to one of the nodes which I am using to deploy my charm as shown below: <img src="cid:_1_0CEE3E4C0CEE23AC006A35C565258051" style="border:0px solid"> After this I created a storage pool called maastest with attribute tag as 'sdb' and deployed my charm.

The Juju storage documentation can be found here: <a href="https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/charms-storage" target="_blank">https://jujucharms.com/docs/stable/charms-storage</a> As an example, once you have your MAAS storage created and tagged, you could create a storage pool in Juju like this: <tt> juju create-storage-pool mypool maas tags=<maas-tag></tt> And then you could add a storage constraint to deploy your charm like this: <tt>juju deploy <charm> --storage disks=mypool,1G</tt> I have not tried MAAS storage with Juju so you may need some additional commands. If anyone else has examples of combining MAAS storage with Juju please reply here to let us know.

I have tested this on AWS, making use of ebs as storage option. When I deploy the charm say "juju deploy ibm-spectrum-scale-manager --storage disks=ebs,1G", I am able to get block storage disks. My charm uses this disk and then creates a file sytem on top of that. I am able to test this on AWS, but now we have got a scenario where we have to deploy the charm on physical servers or VM's. We have configured MAAS for VM's and are able to deploy a sample charm as well using MAAS as cloud provider, but I am not sure how to make use of juju storage options incase of MAAS. Can you please provide us with any contact who can help us in making use of storage option with MAAS as cloud provider.
