Hi. Is it possible / practical to partition disks with Puppet, on a new server deployment? And if yes, is there any good module existing for the task? Or it''s better stick to kickstart doing the partition job (like in Ohad theForeman), and only then bootstrap Puppet?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would stick with kickstart for your partitioning if you can. If you cannot however (and there are good reasons), I would use a set kickstart with much of your disk free and then post-create/grow your partitions using the remaining disk space. In terms of existing modules...not that I know of as this is going to be extremely environment specific.

Hi, One of the main reasons that foreman also do kickstart/preseed/jumpstart is because I wanted to be able to rebuild every machine. since there are things that puppet was not designed to do (e.g. partition tables) - I wanted Foreman to fill in the gaps. and therefor you end up with a partition layout option (e.g. choose from a list of predefined partition tables) or manually create one per server... this ensures that you can always rebuild this specific server. cheers, Ohad On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 1:22 AM, SyRenity <stas.oskin@gmail.com> wrote:> Hi. > > Is it possible / practical to partition disks with Puppet, on a new > server deployment?

Hi, Just a note that Cobbler which is a kickstart/preeseed server has some puppet integration although we don''t use it because we are a ldap shop.

Yeah, that''s true, but in my opinion cobbler support in Puppet is lacking, that was one of the reason I''ve started Foreman. cheers, Ohad On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 4:34 AM, Derek Yarnell <derektyarnell@gmail.com>wrote:> Hi, > > Just a note that Cobbler which is a kickstart/preeseed server has some > puppet integration although we don''t use it because we are a ldap > shop. > > Thanks, > Derek > > On Monday, January 18, 2010, Ohad Levy <ohadlevy@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > One of the main reasons that foreman also do kickstart/preseed/jumpstart > is because I wanted to be able to rebuild every machine. > > > > since there are things that puppet was not designed to do (e.g. partition > tables) - I wanted Foreman to fill in the gaps. > > and therefor you end up with a partition layout option (e.g. choose from > a list of predefined partition tables) or manually create one per server... > this ensures that you can always rebuild this specific server. > > > > cheers, > > Ohad > > > > > > On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 1:22 AM, SyRenity <stas.oskin@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi. > > > > Is it possible / practical to partition disks with Puppet, on a new > > server deployment?

( http://www.opensymbolic.org/ ) You still create profiles in Cobber (it does not duplicate the Cobbler UI) but it lets you provision them from there after picking them from dropdowns. --Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi Michael, Happy to see you around puppet :) Thanks, I did see it before, I still chose to implement foreman, a few of the reasons were: 1. I need to support non RH servers (e.g. Debian and Solaris where func and friends don''t play ball) 2. I wanted to have one single interface regardless on the os used - e.g. creation of machine is the same processes. 3. I wanted to have a centralized solution - where you can manage many subnets (and datacenters) from one console. 4. Inventory, and Puppet reporting. I know that the Foreman is still lacking some of the features I''ve mentioned, but its on the right track :) Cheers, Ohad On Wed, Jan 20, 2010 at 12:50 AM, Michael DeHaan <michael.dehaan@gmail.com>wrote:> On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 9:17 PM, Ohad Levy <ohadlevy@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yeah, that''s true, but in my opinion cobbler support in Puppet is > lacking, > > that was one of the reason I''ve started Foreman. > > > > cheers, > > Ohad > > You may also want to look at Symbolic, which integrates Puppet, Func, > and Cobbler all together in a common UI. > ( http://www.opensymbolic.org/ ) > > You still create profiles in Cobber (it does not duplicate the Cobbler > UI) but it lets you provision them from there after picking them from > dropdowns. > > --Michael > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com<puppet-users%2Bunsubscribe@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > > >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
