[Puppet Users] Installing PE2.0 on open source Citrix XenServer
Dear all,
Got a quick question. I understand that XenServer hypervisor (dom0) is not
a supported platform for PE2.0. We tried to install the following installer:
http://pm.puppetlabs.com/puppet-enterprise/2.0.3/puppet-enterprise-2.0.3-all.tar.gz
Using the “all platform” installer, it couldn’t find ‘cronie’ package at
the following installation step:
The XenServer installation is based on “Free XenServer Trial” from
http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/feature.asp?contentID=2300356
I was trying to find *.el5 version of cronie package to install, but with
no success. All I could find is *.el6 or *.fc{13,14,15,16} based package
which required quite a few dependencies that need to be manually resolved.

!! ERROR: Could not install required packages from your operating

repository--this may be due to a network

packages before you can install Puppet
Enterprise: cronie
Has anyone in this list ever had any luck of successfully deploying PE2
agent on this platform (Citrix XenServer open source)? Very much
appreciated with any inputs!

Ben

Re: [Puppet Users] Installing PE2.0 on open source Citrix XenServer
Hi Ben, I would try installing vixie-cron which offers the same capabilities under EL5 as cronie under EL6: CentOS5 machine: $ cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -q --whatprovides vixie-cron CentOS release 5.8 (Final) vixie-cron-4.1-81.el5 CentOS6 machine: $ cat /etc/redhat-release ; rpm -q --whatprovides vixie-cron CentOS release 6.2 (Final) cronie-1.4.4-7.el6.x86_64 However I don''t know if the PE installer explicitly requires (cronie) or just what it provides (vixie-cron).
