Tutorials for using puppet and its components are available from the puppet web site.
To activate puppet clients on Rocks, there is two rocks attributes used.
Table 2-1. Attributes Used in puppet Roll
| Attibute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Puppet_Client_Install | Flag to install puppet client in cluster nodes. (Service by default is turned off). Default: True (on compute appliance) |
| Puppet_Client | Flag to turn service puppet on in cluster nodes. No default. Set to True, if want a node managed by puppet. |
1) Turning on puppet server. (Only once).
$ su - root # ###very first time turn on puppet server ###(make sure alt names in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf are as expected) # #service puppetmaster status #chkconfig puppetmaster on |
2) Setting nodes to start puppet.
###by default puppet is installed but turned off on compute appliance only. ###(changing default only affect if compute was not installed yet.) # #rocks set appliance attr compute attr=Puppet_Client value=True # ###if nodes already installed (and don't want re-kickstart). # #rocks run host compute command='service puppet start' #rocks run host compute command='chkconfig puppet on' # |
2b) Setting to install and start puppet in other appliances (login for example).
###Set to install puppet in login nodes at kickstart # #rocks set appliance attr login attr=Puppet_Client_Install value=True # ###Set to start puppet at boot on login nodes (after installation) # #rocks set appliance attr login attr=Puppet_Client value=True # |
3) Frontend (master puppet) accept clients by signing certs submitted by clients.
###Check if clients contacted master (once per kickstart) # #puppet cert --list # ###Sign certs, all at once # #puppet cert --sign --all # ###Or sign cert individual node # #puppet cert --sign compute-0-0 # |
4)Check puppet install
###install test module # #git clone https://github.com/jeramirez/rocks-puppetalive.git /etc/puppet/modules/puppetalive # ###configure site to use test module ###(by uncommenting /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp) # #sed -i -e "s@#include puppetalive@include puppetalive@" /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp # ###(optional)to module take effect immediately restart puppet on nodes # #rocks run host compute command='service puppet restart' # ###check existance of file created my test module ###(test module should create empty file /root/puppetalive) # #rocks run host compute command='hostname;ls -l /root | grep puppetalive' # |
Congratulations! you have puppet up and running. Now you can search or create new puppet modules. For more information on puppet commands use 'puppet help' or visit puppet web site.
