Hi, I''m a big fan of Puppet and managed to have my company accept it. However, I''m having issues deploying it (I''m used to the debian version which works perfectly out of the box) : - There doesn''t seem to be an official repository for Suse (I''ve seen it mentionned in the bugtracker but yum.puppetlabs.com doesn''t contain SUSE packages). -

Hi, I''m having trouble writing a recipe to handle apache/passenger. First, here is my apache2 class, found here : http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/DebianApache2Recipe --------------------------------------------- $apache2_sites = "/etc/apache2/sites" $apache2_mods = "/etc/apache2/mods" class apache2 { [...] define module ( $ensure =

Hi, I run into problems with the ipaddress fact using the latest Facter gem (1.6.4, 1.6.5) on SLES11. The versions and gems I use work perfectly fine on SLES10 SP3. The problem: running "facter" without arguments results in an error, even though the erroring fact "ipaddress" is ok. test:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL

I currently manage approximately 150 hosts with a handful of ZLM policies, but I''ve had one too many policies lost by the management server to keep using this solution. I''m wondering if anyone has any experiences (good or bad) they''d be willing to share specific to using Puppet with SLES (9 and 10). What experiences have you had with package management tools? Would

Hi I have been using pygrub for most of the needs. Was trying out some stuff on SLES 10 SP1. It seems that it does not have pygrub!! On the other hand,they have domUloader.py which requires bootargs="--entry=hda:/boot/vmlinuz...., path to ramdisk. It is quite strange to be asking for the path of the kernel and the ramdisk to be supplied in the conf file!!. Am I missing something

I''m running xen on SLES10SP2. It''s been much more stable than SP1, but I still occasionally have issues. For example, one of my servers (8 CPU/32GB RAM) has five sles pv domUs and five fully virtualized windows 2k3 domUs. It had been up for almost 60 days. Yesterday afternoon one of the sles domU''s stopped responding. I went to check on it and I couldn''t using

I have a sles10 domU running on a sles11 dom0. xen is version 3.4. We''re trying to pass through a scsi card to the domU. We assign the domU the scsi card through virt manager. When we try to boot the domU it won''t boot. We need to update fstab and menu.lst, but we need to boot with the hardware attached to see how it''s being seen by the domU. On a physical machine we

Unfortunately I haven''t been able to find anything in the docs... I just built a new puppetmaster to replace my testing install on an old box. The hostname is different, and obviously the master certificates are different. What needs to be done to the clients to get them to play nice with the new box?

Hello. I plan to use OCFS2 + DRBD for email server. Problem: I use "seeker" for testing http://www.linuxinsight.com/how_fast_is_your_disk.html And get this: Results: 65 seeks/second, 15.23 ms random access time Then I do rm of many files - it fals to 10 seeks/second and performance is terrible. What can I do to increase it? What`s wrong? Below is many info. What we have: Debian

After a split of libtinfo from libncurses in openSuSE Factory the tools will not link anymore. In the URL below it was suggested to use ''ncurses-config --libs'' to find the correct linker options. But ncurses-config does not exist neither in SLES11 nor in openSuSE. So check for both ncurses5-config and ncurses-config, if the latter happens to exist in other environments. With

I saw this feature became available in 2.7.0rc1 and wanted to try it out. I entered ''allow_duplicate_certs = true'' on both my master and agent systems in the puppet.conf (not sure if its need in both, saw it in genconf for puppetd and puppetmasterd though ...). I also have autosign.conf configured to allow autosigning for our domain (*.domain.com). I had my agent register with

Hi All. I've used syslog-ng for some time. I like it. I have a project in which I need to choose a central logging solution. What are your experiences with rsyslog? Is it more complex to setup than syslog-ng? Or maybe does it have some additional features? I am also thinking about using some gui tools for log parsing and graphing. May be proprietary/paid. Any suggestions? Best regards,

Hello, i have written some modules for Puppet and would be thankful, if someone could take a look for quality enhancements. http://194.94.79.17/hotkey/puppet.tar.gz The only nasty part is, that i have defined some global variables at the site.pp, which i am using at several templates. And i am looking for a solution to collect the hostnames and ipaddresses of all connected nodes, without

My head hurts from trying to figure this out for the past several hours . . . I want to determine what provider to use based on a fact (thanks for the suse version fact btw) but I ain''t gettin it: What''s wrong? Am I going down the completely wrong path? Is there a better way? # suse-yum.pp case $suse_repo_name { #sled10-i586: {Package{ provider => rug}} sled10-i586:

I'm trying to mount a ocfs2 volume (created on sles11) on my sles10sp2 server. I created the volume with these options: "mkfs.ocfs2 -C 128k -L CLUFS -M cluster -N 16 /dev/sdc". (dev/sdc is an iscsi device). It works to mount the volume with "mount.ocfs2 /dev/sdc /ocfs2" on my boxes (with o2cb configured for both nodes). When creating files on the ocfs2 volume I cant see

Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

Hello all, I''m trying to pass my PCI device through to an HVM. I''m following the steps on the xen pci passthrough wiki.

I am dealing with SSL certificates for secure rsyslog that need to be created on each machine and then collected onto the logging server. Getting a file from puppetmaster to client is trivial, but how do I reverse the process ? “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes)

Hi, I have a problem with augeas, puppet and Suse 10 SP2. Augeas works when I use the augtool to edit files. But I would like to use it in combination with puppet. My class looks something like this: augeas {"sysctl.conf": provider => "augeas", context => "/files/etc/sysctl.conf", changes => [ "set
