I have spent days on this. It's likely something simple. I've tried booting from ISO and creating MAAS, I've tried clean installing and following the openstack instructions for a clean install of ubuntu. Never any luck. When I go to commission a node, the machine turns on, and sits at commissioning. When I look at the node it PXE boots but that's about it. I've confirmed DNS appears to be ok (though there is no dns entry for the node-1 but a query for maas returns the correct IP) This is all running under vSphere 6.
First and foremost... here are the logs from the node:
cloud-init.log: http://pastebin.com/4XbcnbZB
clout-init.output.log: http://pastebin.com/nWZEc56r
Here are the warnings I see in cloud-init.log:
2016-01-03 22:00:01,156 - util.py[WARNING]: Failed accessing user data.
2016-01-03 22:00:03,398 - util.py[WARNING]: Running seed_random () failed
2016-01-03 22:00:03,523 - cc_resizefs.py[WARNING]: Device 'overlayroot' did not exist. cannot resize: dev=overlayroot mnt_point=/ path=/
Now for the controller... I see a bunch of WARNINGS in maas.log:
Jan 3 15:52:47 head maas.start-up: [WARNING] Database error during start-up (PostgreSQL error 40P01); pausing for 3 seconds.
Jan 3 15:52:47 head maas.import-images: [WARNING] I/O error while syncing boot images. If this problem persists, verify network connectivity and disk usage.

Jan 3 16:02:41 head maas.import-images: [WARNING] Finished importing boot images, the region does not have any boot images available.
Now on the MAAS web page, it shows a valid image. On the clusters page it says connected and images are synced so those warnings could just be boot warnings? I'm really not sure what to try next.
