MAAS node creation

I’m not impressed. So far, I wasn’t able to add nodes to my Ubuntu MAAS master machine. I installed my MAAS master machine being connected to my home network, which, like about 99% of home networks, has an existing, none configurable DHCP server present.

MAAS doesn’t play well if it’s not being the DHCP server of the local network. And MAAS apparently doesn’t play well, if it’s being installed on a machine that was DHCP configured by anoter DHCP server – the configuration step puts the network config in various places.

No problem – install Ubuntu Server with MAAS from an USB stick without being connected to the internet! Doesn’t effing work, since Ubuntu server 14.04 offline installation from USB stick seems to be broken.

Really, not impressed.
