Hi, We have majority of RHEL5 servers in our environment. I have noticed in the process of trying to deploy puppet, that i am getting errors when yum is trying to install packages.

We have successfully installed puppet on a CentOS Server, but I am battling with a deployment. It has to do with grid software. The repository gets created, then begins installation. The problem is that it just hangs - no errors, no network activity. I can see puppet is running, but nothing it being updated.

Hello, I would like to have the following line (among others) in my /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file : server_args = --daemon --address=<ipaddress_eth0> --log-file=/var/log/rsyncd.log To this end, i am using the camptocamp rsyncd module available from git. Everything works except this line. I thought it was, perhaps, a questions of spaces (this has been discussed on the list before),

Hi All. I''m new to puppet, just want to know which is the right way to configure networking on centos (5). Is there something built in, or should I use a module from puppet forge ?

Hello all, I am experiencing a (consistent, reproducible) condition whereby rsync is hanging indefinitely at the following stage : generate_files phase=1 The condition does not occur if --dry-run is specified - only when the run is "for real". Finally, i can scp the files without problems, so it is not a general connection issue, nor is it a problem with permissions (everything is

Hi all, I upgraded from 1.4.0rc3 to 2.0.0rc1 in my test environment, and while the upgrade itself went smoothly, i appear to be having problems with the (posix-)locks feature. :( The feature is clearly declared in the server config file, and according to the DEBUG-level logs, it is loaded successfully at runtime ; however, when Gluster attempts to lock an object (for the purposes of AFR

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of testing a Gluster 3.0.0 setup (4 nodes, 2 servers, 2 clients, client-side replication), and have run into the occasional hiccup (and at least one big crash). Unfortunately, the logged remnants of these incidents leave something to be desired, and as anyone who's tried to track down a crash knows, the more log data you have, the better. Thus,

I'm trying to set up a custom rpm respository for some in-house software, and configure a number of CentOS 5 clients so that they may install and update the software in question from the location in question. I think I've mostly figured out how to do this - I've successfully installed software on one of the clients via "yum install <my package>" after adding an

I need to do something like this node foo { $iface = pcn0 ... } # the template <%= network_<%= iface %> %>/<% netmask_<%= iface %> %> The idea being that a file would be built on the client holding the value of pcn0''s network/netmask Of course, I''m trying to avoid hard coding the interface name in order to keep my code portable.

Hello, Does anyone have a good spec file for puppet dashboard 1.1.0, as the one supplied in the sourcecode is for 1.0.4 and tries to copy some directories, that don''t exist anymore.

I am trying to get a package (iftop) installed on a test node using puppet but I can''t get it to install. This seems like it should be simple, but I can''t figure out what I am missing. Have done a lot of searching for similar problems and the answers I found seem to be vague in the details and explanation. I have the package added to an internal yum repo. OS is Centos 5.4.

Good day, all, bangert on irc wrote a patch to ensure the eix''s cache exists before querying it. I''ve extended this to verify freshness based on /usr/portage/metadata/timestamp and /usr/bin/eix itself. If you have a moment, I''d love for someone to test the patch. It''s against HEAD, but should apply cleanly against 0.22.4.
