[OmniOS-discuss] Moving from Postgres/Solaris/x86_64 to Postgres/OmniOS/x86_64 - gotchas?

[Paul Jochum]

Hi Dave:

     Sorry, can't answer the questions on Postgres, but here is what I 
have for Puppet:

There is a version of puppet, but you will need to add a new repo from 
niksula (which can be done with the commands:

pkg set-publisher -p http://pkg.niksula.hut.fi/ \
         --set-property signature-policy=require-signatures
wget https://www.niksula.hut.fi/pkg.niksula.hut.fi.pem
pkg set-publisher --approve-ca-cert pkg.niksula.hut.fi.pem niksula.hut.fi

and then install puppet:
pkg install puppet

I also created a manifest file, which I put in /root/puppetagentd.xml

*************************************

I install this manifest with the command:
svccfg import /root/puppetagentd.xml

Instead of the above service, you could also call puppet from a cron 
job, if you prefer to do that.


Hope this helps,

Paul
