How to Deploy a New Machine

VMware Power Management Settings
  1. First, set the machine to PXE boot by default and turn it on. This allows MAAS to detect the machine.
  2. Navigate to http://maas.spark.spork:5240/MAAS/ on the Spark network and login with your administrator credentials.
  3. Rename the machine to whatever you want.
  4. If you're deploying to a VM, configure the power management settings. They should look kinda like that picture there.
  5. Commission the machine (you may need to manually start the machine if it doesn't have IPMI - workstations don't)
  6. Deploy the machine using one of the following userdata scripts:

Ubuntu Workstation with GUI

#!/bin/bash
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
IP=$(hostname -i | awk '{print $1}')
echo "$HOSTNAME.spark.spork" > /etc/hostname
FQDN="$HOSTNAME.spark.spork"
echo "FQDN is: $FQDN"
sed -i "1 i\
$IP $FQDN $HOSTNAME" /etc/hosts
echo "10.11.12.156 freeipa.spark.spork freeipa" >> /etc/hosts
apt-get -y update
apt-get install -y nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install freeipa-client tasksel
ipa-client-install --hostname=$(hostname -f) --server=freeipa.spark.spork \
--domain=spark.spork --no-ntp --unattended --principal=enroll --password='thispasswordsucks' \
--realm=SPARK.SPORK --mkhomedir --force-join
sed -i '/ticket_lifetime/a renew_lifetime = 28d' /etc/krb5.conf
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive tasksel install ubuntu-desktop
echo "X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false" >> /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-initial-setup-first-login.desktop
reboot now

Ubuntu Server

echo "10.11.12.156 freeipa.spark.spork freeipa" >> /etc/hosts
apt-get -y update
apt-get install -y nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
