How do I manage manifests most efficiently...?
Hi As I''m more familiar with cfengine and it''s way to split updates (in update.conf) from the actual grunt work (in cfagent.conf), I''m wondering how to best manage puppet and my manifests with puppet...? Should I define a puppet class that copy the puppet package (in .tgz format) and all the manifests to the client, and then have all my other classes depend on

Puppet tgz installs...
Hi I''m anxious to get puppet into production, and although I''d prefer installing puppet as a .deb package (as most of the servers in our shop runs Debian), I think I''ll try to get some of my not-so- important servers into my test setup by installing puppet with the .tgz files. Upon the first installation I realize that puppetd and puppetmasterd is copied to

facts about xen domU''s...
Hi, I''ve just finished my first attempt at making anything in ruby. It ended up beeing a module to facter, which collects facts about the number of domU''s and the memory, id and vcpu facts on all of the domU''s. It''s meant to be run on the dom0, and uses the xm utility to get the information. The only thing I haven''t figured out, is how to

Ordering problem...
Hi all, I''d got the impression that puppet didn''t care about ordering - ie. the ordering of imports and includes related to calling them in the manifest. Lately I''ve had big trouble getting puppet to accept that I require some resource that I _have_ defined elsewhere in the manifest. To explain it, here is a simplified example: site.pp: -------- import

Hi all I''m fighting right now with the functionality of overriding variables. I''ve made a base node with some variables: node base { $country = "dk" $dv = "sarge" } And I''d like to override some of them in subnode definitions: node server01 inherits base { $dv = "etch" } Is this possible, or do I have to wrap the variables in a

General questions and problems with exec...
Hi, I''m in the process of evaluating puppet and cfengine for a rollout on a mix of in-house servers and managed customer servers. I''ve always been a pro-cfengine man, and it''s already running on a small setup of 5 machines.
