It turns out augeas on RHEL6 is 0.7.2, which does not have ''setm'' command available. ''setm'' is available in augeas release 0.8, which is available in EPEL, but not available for RHEL6 (the reason is the package is already in RHEL6, thus no package would be released in EPEL for this. All I want to do is to put console=ttyS0 on all kernel lines in /etc/grub.conf. Since there is no such ''setm'' available with augeas 0.7.2, is there any other workaround using augeas? Or the only way is to ask RedHat to upgrade its augeas package on RHEL6? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

From http://augeas.net/news.html: 0.7.2 - 2010-06-22 * new API call aug_setm to set/create multiple nodes simultaneously I''ve just checked with augtool from the optional software channel on 6.1 and it''s there.> All I want to do is to put console=ttyS0 on all kernel lines in > /etc/grub.conf.

These seem to be missing for EPEL6 at the moment though... I''ve asked David to see if 0.4.0 can be pushed. Once you''ve got that, you''ll also need the patch from this issue to support it in the Puppet provider which has to natively understand each command: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6494 Given all of the above, I''d consider using ''grubby'' instead: define boot_kernel_arg($arg, $value) { exec { "grubby-arg-$arg": command => "grubby --update-kernel DEFAULT --args ''$arg=$value''", unless => "grubby --info DEFAULT | grep args= | grep ''$arg=$value''", } } boot_kernel_arg { "kernel-console": arg => "console", value => "ttyS0", } You might be able to do something involving ALL instead of DEFAULT too (check the man page). -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Consulting m: +44 (0)7818 512168 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Thanks, but this would not work here, where we need 2 console (one for tty0, one for ttyS1). Augeas could handle in this case ..
