Deploying charm on same host, bionic works, focal fails

Hej,
had problems deploying openstack bundle-70, worked my way back to that it seems to be an issue when deploying with focal as series.

Im running a MAAS environment, and deployed cs:mongodb-57 on the same host, if --series=bionic is used, the deployment works fine. If --series=focal, then the deployment ‘works’ on the host (Deployed), but juju keeps "waiting

ats@kmaas:~$ juju status

As juju isn’t really ready, manual ssh to the host XYZ.14 is the only thing that works.
Once connected, the only hint is that in /var/log/cloud-init-output.log

But I cant decode that information, did it fail to download something? Something that’s missing?

As it works for bionc on the same host, I kind of ruled out MAAS host config messing things up (but failure is always an option right?).

Any hints, or tips on what could cause this problem?

FWIW, I was able to deploy the mongodb charm on the focal series using a KVM-based MAAS (v.2.6.2) node. I would suggest you check the logs of the MAAS host at:

  • /var/log/maas/rsyslog (apt install)
  • /var/snap/maas/common/log/rsyslog (snap install)

My juju status output:

I also found LP #1860432.

I don’t believe that Juju 2.7 supports focal.

Is there a reason that you’re deploying w/ a relatively early version of 2.7, rather than 2.8 (or the latest version of 2.7)?

Good catch @pengale :slight_smile:

Limited resources, hoped my controller could handle it.

Where do I fill in a feature request? It seems that it could be good if Juju checked what series it’s asked to deploy, and compare that with its own capabilities before it tries to deploy.

Would have helped me.

Thanks for the help, stay safe, and have a nice day.

HI @pal-arlos,

Please feel free to file a bug at Bugs : juju. Add the community-feedback tag, and we’ll track it appropriately. (Or ping us here with a link to the bug, and we’ll tag it.)

(My understanding, btw, is that we should be more clear about unsupported series – I’m not sure quite what broke here, but we’d be happy to investigate.)

Hi @pengale,

think this is the link; Bug #1906790 “Juju tries to deploy hosts with incompatible seri...” : Bugs : juju

Stay safe and have a nice day!
