Puppet users - Sep 2013 - An assortment of 2.x agents out there...a Puppet 3 PM, and Satellite to lend a hand? Agent update / migration approach?

Hi,

We have a fairly large number of 2.x FOS puppet agents out there in RH5, 6 
and Solaris 10 server land. We''ve just installed PE3 on RH6.4, and
trying
to work out how to migrate all of the agents across.

We have a new Satellite in the mix to lend a hand if necessary.

I''m curious to see how others have addressed this one.

I was thinking that we should be creating a separate channel on Satellite 
to accommodate the Puppet EL5, EL6 and Solaris 10 Sparc software firstly. 
Then maybe use FPM to assist with the creation of an RPM and PKGs, 
including an answers files to point the new agent at the new PE3 server. 
Package to be signed on Satellite and deplyed out to clients to do the 
upgrade "magic"

My fear is that the old agent will not come off cleanly, or something else 
"bad" may happen.

Does anybody have any ideas or strategies on this one?

Thanks again!

Steven
