You should be able to follow the maascli guide:

https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/maascli.html

Once you've logged in to a session

then this will dump a yaml output to stdout:

maas <session> node get-curtin-config <system-id>

And prior to running a deployment, you can do:

maas <session> maas set-config name=curtin_verbose value=true

And then redeploy the failure case, the output should include more curtin
debugging output.

That said, the general issue seems to be around the various kernel levels
for the cciss driver
sometimes the path /dev/cciss/<disk> exists (say Vivid, Wily, Xenial) but
older release it's not

Can you try deploying Wily or Xenial Ubuntu release instead of Trusty to
your target node?
