MAAS Node Inside VirtualBox - Install Fails

[dotnetted]

Hi all,

Is is possible to install a MAAS node inside Virtual Box on the same physical machine that is running the MAAS controller? If not, is there another way to get a node running on the same box as the controller?

When installing 12.04 as a MAAS node inside Vbox it correctly detected the MAAS server (same.ip.as.vbox.host:80). As soon as I advance to the next step the installation sends sigterms and shuts down.

(Same problem as: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12919...ng-from-cd-rom)

EDIT:
Also, the web interface shows "Node added but never seen". I assume this node was 'added' from the installer inside the Vbox instance right before it decided to shut down.

Thanks for any info!

Maybe not exact answer you were looking for, but here's walkthrough by MARCO CEPPI : http://marcoceppi.com/2012/05/juju-maas-virtualbox/

Also note: I happily selected that option when the machine suddenly SIGKILLs all processes then powers off.

and later: Each machine will turn off after successful setup and MAAS Dashboard will update.
