Hello, I am examining whether puppet meets our needs. I can''t find the answer to two questions I am looking to answer, hopefully someone can help. 1. Can puppet be used to manage different classes of the same computers, e.g. do something on the apache test farm, if it works then do it on the apache live farm; and is this done cleanly? 2. How are package updates (e.g. yum update/yum

Hi all, We''re writing a few scripts at the moment that could really make use of Facter, however the vast majority of them team (including my self!) are not proficient in Ruby, however they are highly proficient in other languages such as (dare I say it!) Python. Is there (or are there any plans to!) release bindings for other languages to enable facts to be used in scripts other

Hi all, First time here, so please be gentle! :) I'm trying to configure a system that will pxeboot and retrieve a kickstart file from a server based on that host's macaddress as part of my Edison project[0] however I'm having issues getting the dns lookup to work and I'm hoping you can help!

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

Hi all, We're looking at upgrading our current mail platform from 1.0.15 to 2.x to take advantage of the new director functionality. Our main concern is the number of mailboxes involved (circa. 300K) and the rebuilding of the index files, especially as it seems that once you've upgraded, rolling back requires the deletion and recreation of all indices. Has anyone worked on an

Hi all, We've just provisioned a new cluster of dovecot nodes running Centos and Dovecot 1.0.15 (we needed to match the original configuration, we're upgrading to 1.2 next week!). The nodes are currently equally allocated (50/50 split) to IMAP and POP3, with the intention to move them into a single cluster hosting both services in the next month. All the servers are of identical

Hi all, My brain is now officially dead! I have a series of modules that have a tree layout as documented in the "best practice" guide. One of the directories I have is "templates" and in this directory I have placed a template.erb file, however no matter how I refer to the path in my init.pp, I cannot get it to include. I''ve even set "templatedir" to

Hi all, I''m using the pear/pecl package providers from http://www.mit.edu/~marthag/puppet/ and I''ve run into a memory limit problem. I''ve tried hacking the script so that it passes additional options to pecl/pear, however these just error out about not being valid options (even though they are!). I''m now at a point where the following stanza gives the

Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

Hi all, As the title says, I can't find my stats.log in icecast 2.1.0 on Gentoo. I've setup logging to /home/icecast/log/ and I have an "access.log" and an "error.log", but no "stats.log". All help greatfully welcomed, I'm nearly there on this now... :) Cheers, Matt

Hi all, For those of you that are using cucumber for Continuous Integration or similar I've created a set of steps that enable you to use cobbler and cucumber to auto-provision using Libvirt. I've just made some changes to the code however I don't have access to all the hardware/software required to test it fully. If you are able to, please check out the code from

Hi all, I''m having an issue with custom providers (the pear/pecl ones mentioned in an earlier post today) and I''m hoping you can all help. I have a "base" class that includes other modules and installs other packages including the distribution of the custom providers. I have a second class "storeweb" that uses the custom providers to install pear/pecl

Hi all, I''m working on a ext-node script that will use oauth to authenticate against the node database and I''m wondering if it is possible to read the puppet.conf file easily in this script so I can place the oauth key/secret into this file (and basically avoid maintaining my own config file!) Is there an easy way of doing this, or do I need to read in a parse the file myself?

Hi all, I''m using cobbler as our external node manager and it''s working really well (including deployment of ActiveMQ from RI''s RPMS and Mcollective - blog post coming soon!) however I''ve run into a problem with exim configuration files.
