Puppet users - Feb 2011 - Access to an AIX box shell to continue developing AIX providers

Hello,

I have developed a pair of small providers for AIX: user, group and
mount. They should be polished and tested before merge them in main
puppet branch.

My problem is that I have just changed jobs, and now I do not have
access to any AIX box. So I can not continue properly supporting such
patches. My old company policies forbids create a test box to access
remotely, and my ex-colleagues will not be able to continue the
project for a while.

So, if somebody is interested in me to finish those features and maybe
to implement new ones, and you can create a new restricted AIX box for
test proposes which I can access via SSH, I will find some time in my
free time to work on it.

If not, I will try to help anybody as far as possible.

Thank you a lot!

I''m currently trying to source both AIX and HP-UX platforms as test
beds
for other Puppet matters - if I can get them I''ll arrange for access to
the AIX piece so you can continue your work.

Do you have a preference/recommendation for AIX/pSeries OS versions?

Obviously - anyone who can provide said test kit (we''d also be
interested in buying 2nd hand kit from someone) or shell accounts on the
above would be richly rewarded with beer and Puppet t-shirts.

Great! No preference, any AIX 6.1 or AIX 7 box should be ok.

In the case of AIX it is pretty easy create an LPAR or a WPAR with a
restricted virtualized network. For an LPAR, 1GB memory would be
enough, and 0.5 procs or shared procs with the lowest priority.
