Hi all I started researching on puppet and decided I''ll try it out on Vmware Workstation using Ubuntu 10.04. So I''m trying to do the simplest puppet install pattern as outlined in http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Simplest_Puppet_Install_Pattern. For now, I''m trying to test puppetd and puppetmasterd on the same machine. I start puppetmaster and

hi, i am trying to run /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl -d, but i was end with exec timeout. I cannot find any think on google. Have anyone experience with this? It works, when I run it normally from shell. this is my exec resource. { "vmwaretools_config": subscribe => [ Package["VMwareTools"] ], refreshonly => true, path =>

So, some of us would like to be able to set the nice value on puppetd. However, we don''t want all of our services (and some of our execs) re-niced. Would it be feasible/practical to have the ability to set the nice value explicitly on Service and Exec calls?

Hi I have been trying to get puppet working with kickstart. I am trying to install Hadoop on the nodes. Installing puppet from kickstart work and when the machine restarts, certificates are pulled down and hadoop user is created and files are extracted. I want all the user creation etc to be done before the machine reboots so that I can set up init.d scripts to do a start of hadoop . So I

When an error occurs in prerun_command, puppet continues execution instead of stopping. We can see the error at the log file, but puppet cotinues doing changes: puppetd[18430]: Failed to prepare catalog: Could not run command from prerun_command: Execution of ''/path/to/command'' returned 1: We want to prevent changes when an error occurs in prerun_command. Our puppet.conf:

Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

Hi, I''ve got the following resource: host { "host.domain.com": alias => [ "host", "alias" ], ip => "1.2.3.4", ensure => present, } The resulting line in my /etc/hosts file is: 1.2.3.4 host.domain.com Any alias definitions seem to be ignored?

For some reason I am unable to run "dry runs" of the puppet client on my puppetmaster server. Running puppetd with the --test, --noop and verbose / debug flags results in nothing for about a minute or two then this output... $ time puppetd --test --noop -v err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not

Hi all.

Hi list, In our platform we have a lot of machines in which the system is a single disk image loaded on RAM from PXE. The problem is quite simple : if I install puppetd on the image, I will end up using the same certificate for 100 different servers with different names (the hostname is setup at boot time from dhcp) and I guess the puppetmaster won''t allow that. In other words : what

Hello all, I am developing a few custom providers for some features that I need into my system (such as dealing with different zipped files or generating some JSON data based on OS files) and I have hit into a question about "how to do this for multiple OS?" Lets focus into the zipped file provider that should provide a common method to pack or unpack zipped files (tar, tar.gz,

We keep getting a variety of these from a random set during each Puppet run: Sat Mar 13 23:46:42 -0500 2010 //cups/File[/etc/cups] (err): Failed to generate additional resources using ''eval_generate'': end of file reached It seems like there is a 30% chance of a host providing this on any given manifest that distributes files.

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

I apologized ahead of time if this post shouldn''t go here but I having been knocking my heading for the last two days trying to get over the following error while trying to "clone" my primary puppetmasterd because we have outgrown one puppetmasterd setup.

Hello there, I am very new to puppet and tried to copy some files (namely /etc/ puppet/manifests/files/websphermq/status.dat [on master] to /tmp/ status.dat [on puppet]) from master to the puppets.

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a
