Puppet users - Apr 2007 - automated installation of puppet into solaris 10 zone after insta lling zone with puppet

I''ve built a puppet solaris - package which is distributed via
jumpstart at
installation time of a solaris 10 machine.
It''s postinstallation registers the puppetd into smf and starts puppetd
afterwards. Puppetd connects to puppetmasterd, gets ist certificate signed
(autosig on) and the configuration stuff.
Now the interesting part: a new solaris zone is installed via puppet. Given
a sysidcfg-template puppet brings the zone up to a running state.
That''s
really great!

But how to automate the installation of the puppet solaris - package into
the new zone from the non-global zone?
The package should be installed into the non-global zone and puppetd within
this zone should configure the virtual machine.

Unfortunately, zonecfg and zoneadm don''t give the feature to add
packages
during initialization of a zone. 

Could this be accoumplished by puppet?

I''ve tried the types zone and package. But the root-dir of pkgadd (-R)
has
to be set to the root-dir of the nonglobal zone. There is  no such parameter
for the type package.Furthermore, there should be a state-dependency between
the non-global zone and the instance of ''package'': the package
can only be
installled when the non-global zone is ''installled'' or
''running''

cheers, 
frank



















I''d like to automate
