MaaS VM and power management type support?

[fxdaemon]

Hi experts,

I am starting MaaS installation under Proxmox 4.1-15 with the following:

VM1 running MaaS controller with 2 virtual NIC
eth0: Getting IP from a home router DHCP for external access
eth1: Managed by MaaS and running DHCP+DNS to serve other MaaS nodes/VM

VM2 starting up as normal MaaS node/VM.

VM2 is able to PXE boot off MaaS with a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS image but this is where I am stuck.
I have no idea what power management type/method I should use to control power on/off of VM2 and similarly
additional nodes I plan to boot up with MaaS. In a typical working set up, at the end of the PXE boot, the new
VM node will be powered down and from there on MaaS will be able to take over for powering on etc.

Any suggestion? I have used "virsh qemu+ssh" power management type when VM is actually set up as nested
VM under the MaaS controller itself and that works. However, I am actually planning to simply add new VM that are to be commissioned and managed by MaaS. Also there is no virsh on Proxmox to begin with so I can't use
that method.

Thanks

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm just starting to try MAAS on proxmox, and running into the same issue.

Let me know whatever you've found, thanks!

Could you extend it to also use lxc?
