I am doing following tutorial:

SecurityTeam/TestingMAAS

But I cannot get out from 'Commissioning' state of my virtual MaaS nodes to 'Ready' state. Following image shows my current architecture:

private cloud architecture

Now, I would like to pxe boot MaaS nodes via MaaS Server! I added <dev root='network' /> to VM's XMLs but when I start them, they just say not bootable device. They even do not try to find any DHCP server for pxe boot! I also try to forward UDP packets (tftpd=69, mdnc=68, dhcp=67) from KVM's host to MaaS Server via ip tables but nothing changed!

How I can troubleshoot TFTPD and BOOTP servers at MaaS Server? I could not find any log for them on the system!

Does this architecture allow this booting scenario? If not so, how I should reach the 'Ready' state for my MaaS's nodes!

Thanks in advance!

Tons of thanks to gPXE, if the node boot up via a gPXE iso as it's cdrom (rather than a network boot), then it can successfully take interaction with MaaS Server and change it's state from Commissioning to Ready!
