Installing Puppet on PicOS
NOTE:
- You can see an example of Puppet module to manipulate PicOS configuration on our Github repository:
https://github.com/Pica8/Configuration-Managers
If the FTP server is connected via the Eth0/1 port, you need to add the string sudo ip vrf exec mgmt-vrf before the apt-get command when executing the apt-get operation.
For example:
admin@Xorplus:~$ sudo ip vrf exec mgmt-vrf apt-get update
If sudo ip vrf exec mgmt-vrf is not added, find the next hop routing information from the default VRF. For the usage of VRF, refer to the VRF configuration guide.
Step 1 - Use the correct repository for the specific application and CPU on the switch. Pica8 support can help in the choice of repository.
admin@Roma$sudo more /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -v "#" deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ unstable main
For a typical puppet installation, the latest standard debian repo is advised.
Step 2 - Update the debian packages on PicOS
admin@XorPlus$sudo apt-get update Hit http://ftp.tw.debian.org stable Release.gpg Hit http://ftp.tw.debian.org stable Release Hit http://ftp.tw.debian.org stable/main powerpc Packages Hit http://ftp.tw.debian.org stable/main Translation-en Reading package lists... Done admin@XorPlus$
Step 3 - Install puppet client and configure it
sudo apt-get install puppet
Look at the puppet documentation to understand how to connect the puppet client to a puppet server. A simple installation would require at least minor modification on the puppet.conf file.
more /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [agent] server = master.local.pica8.com
Step 4 - Verify Puppet installation
admin@Roma$sudo puppet agent -t Notice: Using less secure serialization of reports and query parameters for compatibility Notice: with older puppet master. To remove this notice, please upgrade your master(s) Notice: to Puppet 3.3 or newer. Notice: See http://links.puppetlabs.com/deprecate_yaml_on_network for more information.
