Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor. Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin integration. It integrates closely with Puppet and Facter. The

HI, I''m getting some strange errors when I try to use a variable in a require => Package construct, namely: $packagelist = ["clamav", "clamd", "clamav-db"] package { $packagelist: ensure => latest, } # Above apparently works fine... # ...THEN... file { "/etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd.mimedefang": ensure =>

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,

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?

All, Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate functions in the Stdlib? If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea what actually threw the error. Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling class/define/stack was blowing up. Thanks, Trevor

I''ve been searching around but haven''t found a way to do something like a purge with augeas. If you have a file such as [iniheader] entry1 (managed by puppet) entry2 (not managed by puppet) And you want to add ''entry3'' as well as removing anything not managed by puppet in that subsection then you currently do not have this capability. Is this correct? I

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?

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Puppet server, the server is overloaded and processes need to add half of my farm nodes yet!

Hello, I''m currently setting up some scripts that will pull in new data for Puppet master (modules, manifests, hiera data, etc.) from a Git repository. It works great! However, I''m concerned about atomicity of the whole thing. Does the Puppet master cache the modules/manifests when it starts? If so, do I need to restart the Puppet master on each update? Or can I send it a

Hi, I''ve been experimenting with Puppet for a few days now, and I really like it. But! I''m having real CPU usage problems. Puppet is still happily eating away 100% CPU for almost an hour at a time, with no apparent things happening. (puppetd -tv --trace --debug, but nothing appearing in the console during this.) I believe the following resource is to blame: file {

Hi all, We are currently using the regsubst function of Puppet to generate some information out of our hostnames (customer, environment, and so.). The manifest is running fine since months. 7: $customer = regsubst($::fqdn, ''(^[^-]*)-[^-]*.*'', "\\1") 8: $environment = regsubst($::fqdn, ''^[^-]*-([^-]*).*'', "\\1") 9: $product =

We found out, the hard way, that version 1.7 of Facter adds facts for mounted linux file systems. This is nice for normal servers. For a server hosting Oracle not so good. We went from about 100 facts per server to well over 3,000 (our Oracle boxes have quite a few volumes mounted). Of course, this choked our ENC (Foreman) having this many facts pumped into it and required us to downgrade

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

I am attempting to set some variables in my manifest and I amd seeing a result I don''t quite understand. Here is a section of code from my manifest: $boot_time = generate(''/usr/bin/env'', ''/bin/date'', ''+%H:%m'') notice("boot_time => $boot_time") $boot_hour =

Hi all, Been searching the net for a few hours now. I have a basic operation I wish to perform but, cannot find examples close enough to what I''m after to implement it myself. This is what I want to do: $version = ''10.2.0'' I want to manipulate the string to make a new var ($cutversion), equal just 102. For example in perl (since I know it): $version =

Hello, I have a small Puppet 2.7 module to configure Sonatype Nexus Professional. The module takes, among other things, a baseurl in the form of "http://example.com/path" and I''d like it to extract the "/path" from that variable into a separate variable IF an optional "path" variable haven''t been supplied. Here is an extract: class

In my network every subnets default gateway is X.X.X.1. That router gateway is always running ntpd which I want to give be default as the ntp server in every hosts ntp.conf. Since there is no official "default gateway" fact yet, what I want to be able to do in my manifest is take the $ipaddress fact and turn it into the gateway for that subnet. For example... IP = 10.1.1.12 GW =

I''m trying to manipulate the following facter variable: ipaddress => 10.85.207.2 What I need is the second group of digits. If it''s 84 then location is A, but if it''s 85 then location is B. In puppet I couldn''t grab this second set of digits, but maybe there is a way? I''ve already tried to make a custom fact, but my ruby knowledge is *ahem* pretty
