How do I use MAAS custom commissioning scripts?

  • 772

I am attempting to use a custom MAAS commissioning script to perform custom operations on my MAAS cluster. When do these scripts run? How should they be named? Do they need to be in a particular format, or can they be executable shell scripts or binaries?

  1. Please find steps to achieve this:

    Step 1: prepare shell script as per your requirement Note: Commissioning scripts built into MAAS will have names starting with "00-maas" or "99-maas" to ensure that they run first or last, respectively.

    Step 2 : Open MAAS Dashboard ( http://localhost:5240/MAAS/settings/ ) and Go to “Setting” tab.

    Step 3 : Upload your shell script under commissioning script section.

    Step 4 : Start commissioning for target machine and reboot the target machine.

    Besides, following Restful MaaS API also available to perform the same.

    List commissioning scripts: GET /api/2.0/commissioning-scripts/

    Create a new commissioning script: POST /api/2.0/commissioning-scripts/

    Ref: https://docs.ubuntu.com/maas/2.1/en/api

  2. What are you looking to accomplish with custom MAAS commissioning scripts? In my experience so far I have not had to load custom scripts and have made use of these examples and files in these locations installing MAAS and juju

    http://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/configure.html - this link will take you to some better examples of I think what your looking for. 

    /usr/share/maas/preseeds/generic
/usr/share/maas/preseeds/preseed-master

    Hope this helps,
