Query regarding setting up MAAS Server on Power Ubuntu

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Hi Shilpa

>From your description below, I would suggest you start with just doing
manual registration of the 5 VMs to your Juju controller. In other
words, skip MAAS out altogether. MAAS is useful for provisioning
physical hardware (and would be great if you had 6 full POWER servers :)
but if you have a fixed quota of pre-created VMs then it will just
complicate your life.

Does that make sense? I'll reply privately with a contact on the MAAS
team who may have more insight for you.
