I''m looking for input on building an HA configuration for ZFS. I''ve read the FAQ and understand that the standard approach is to have a standby system with access to a shared pool that is imported during a failover. The problem is that we use ZFS for a specialized purpose that results in 10''s of thousands of filesystems (mostly snapshots and clones). All versions of

I''ve been using Puppet now for a month or so and I''ve come to a problem that may warrant an additional Puppet metaparameter. I''m advocating the addition of a metaparameter called "preaction" (or something like that), which will perform some arbitrary action before the resource is modified. There may be a way to do this within Puppet already (with some

Hi, I''m adapting our modules to version 2.7.3. Currently I ''ve this example in a iptables module class iptables_script { file { $iptables_init: owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0700", ................................. }

kernel-parameters.txt lists 'noreplace-paravirt' parameter as being limited to X86-32, which is incorrect -- it's actually supported by x86-32, x86-64 and ia-64.

Hi, I''m very new to puppet but am looking to implement it in our environment. One thing I''m struggling with is that I would like Puppet to be the only tool that makes changes to our servers, but as we run Windows for most of our systems, we need to run the continuous onslaught of Windows updates as well as normal configuration changes and software installation / updates. Are

I''m trying to create a virtual host file only if the document root directory exists. It doesn''t look like puppet is seeing the require metaparameter. Currently, the file is being created whether or not the document root directory exists. What is the best way to currently do this? I''m trying to create a file called site1.conf in /apps/apache/conf.d only if

Hello, I am testing some schedule configurations and was wondering if I can use the schedule type in my own defines? As far as I can claim from my own tests, this is not possible? For example, the schedule "morning" does not work with my self-written define "my_crontab": ######################################### class crontab { schedule {"morning":

Hi Andi, Here's a little batch of cleanups: - re-enable VDSO when PARAVIRT is enabled - make the parainstructions symbols match the other altinstructions naming convention - add kernel command-line options to disable altinstructions for smp and pv_ops Oh, and I'm mailing your noreplacement patch back at you, for no particularly good reason.

Hi People, Let''s imagine a scenario where I have multiple nodes, a very simple hierarchy: - nodes/%{fqdn} - roles/%{role} - common So what I am trying to achieve is for instance a class ''foo'' is always included in ''common.yaml'' and all the nodes will have that class included by default, but I want a specific node to have that class excluded or

Built RPM's from the 6.2p2 openssh.spec file on a Red Hat 6.4 x86_64 server. Build a new Red Hat 6.4 x86_64 server, then when I go to install the RPM's on the server it overwrites the functioning /etc/ssh/sshd_config and /etc/pam.d/sshd files with a non-functional versions. Normally when I compile on the systems Openssh does not over write these files. Any ideas? Thanks David

I just built new puppet rpm''s for Fedora (puppet-0.22.1-2) that fix the lockdir problem that many of you have encountered. The packages should show up on a mirror near you very soon. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting to my buildsystem that I use for the RHEL versions of the RPM; I made the source rpm available on my people page[1] If you need the RPM for RHEL, you need to

I was wondering how Puppet relates to the DMTF''s CIM. AFAICT there is a clear connection between the two, but I see very little discussion on the topic on the list.

I expect that there is something simple that I am missing, but if I set a file to "ensure => absent", puppet is actually just renaming it to "${ORIGINALNAME}puppet" (i.e., appending puppet to the name). Did I forget to turn off a debug flag somewhere? The file definition that I am using is just: file { "/usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/55-create-dev": ensure =>

Yo All! I was just looking at the "other" SSH for ideas. There is one thing in their install that would be nice. When they do a 'make install' they check to see if a host key already exists and if it does not they create one and install it. This sure makes life simple and should be simple to code in the Makefile. RGDS GARY

I am trying to use puppet to configure Amazon EC2 instances. The server is my own box at home. Both server and clients are Ubuntu 8.04 running puppet 0.24.5. On the client when I run: puppetd --server myserver.com --waitforcert 60 --test I get a cert to sign on the server. I sign it and run the command above again on the client. But then I get 3 errors similar to this: warning: Certificate

Assume the following question is in regards to Puppet 3.3.2. So my question is in relation to audit. file { ''/some/random/path/through/the/tree/to/a/file'': owner => ''luke'', group => ''rebelalliance'', mode => ''0444'', audit => all } And more specifically: will the named file be force-owned to luke with the

I upgraded one of my servers to CentOS 5.4 today. The freeradius service (radiusd) didn't start up due to permissions errors. I tracked it to the permissions on the /etc/raddb/certs/ directory being set to 640 rather than 750, so the radius user couldn't enter the directory. In the spec file from the source rpm, line 200 should read: %attr(750,root,radiusd) %config (noreplace)
