CANARY RE-COMMISSION -- vr1-dc0-storage-01, 2026-07-29 ====================================================== Operator approval: "Commission storage-01 as the canary". Run from voffice1. This is the empirical close of R1 precondition 3, which the D-121 amendment said must be verified BEFORE the apply and which had until now only been answered from the API's own help text. MACHINE: sysid kghggm, MAAS hostname `first-oryx` (MAAS renames at enlistment -- matched by PINNED BOOT MAC 52:54:00:5f:8d:42, never by name). COMMAND (skip_storage deliberately UNSET so storage IS re-scanned): maas admin machine commission kghggm skip_networking=1 TIMELINE: Commissioning -> Ready in ~200s. No timeout, no SERVFAIL. (For contrast, the 2026-07-21 pre-D-131 failures were seven consecutive 30-minute timeouts.) RESULT -- the full before/after diff of status, power, block devices, interfaces, MACs and links is EXACTLY ONE HUNK: "blockdevices": [ ["vda", 590558003200], + ["vdb", 536870912000] ] links BEFORE/AFTER : 12 / 12 MACs identical : True links identical : True 536870912000 bytes = 500 GiB exactly -- the volume R1's apply created. WHAT THIS SETTLES. `skip_networking=1` preserves the network configuration EXACTLY: all 12 static links survive with their addresses, modes, subnets and per-interface MACs unchanged, including the D-134 octet .150 mirrored across all six planes in both families (the v6 host part ::150 is the 2026-07-27 D-136 mirror ruling, visible here in live data). Meanwhile storage IS re-scanned and the new device enters MAAS's inventory, which is the entire point. Precondition 3 is now closed by MEASUREMENT rather than by reading the API help. The amendment's concern was legitimate -- the DEFAULT commissioning path does reconfigure networking -- and the vendor's own control is sufficient. NOT YET DONE: the other three dc0 storage nodes (storage-02/03/04), and all of dc1.
