Last Friday I made an installation of hipster in our corporate network.
We use puppet for configuration management.
Puppet set facts to classify the system and one of them is "operatingsystem".
The value for operatingsystem is determined by evaluation of 'uname -v'.
# Hipster: uname -v
illumos-f8554bb
# OpenIndiana oi151a9 : uname -v
oi_151a9
and the ruby code of puppet
def get_operatingsystem
output = Facter::Core::Execution.exec('uname -v')
if output =~ /^joyent_/
"SmartOS"
elsif output =~ /^oi_/
"OpenIndiana"
elsif output =~ /^omnios-/
"OmniOS"
elsif FileTest.exists?("/etc/debian_version")
"Nexenta"
else
"Solaris"
end
end
IMHO this is a wrong classification as hipster will be handled like Oracle
Solaris.
And we manage OpenIndiana a151a9 and Oracle Solaris systems with puppet.
And the test system was handled as an Oracle Solaris system.
I will make a pull request to change the value but I am unsure which value to
choose.
What do you prefer?
"OpenIndiana" as before and as recognition of a special distribution.
"IllumOS" as a more general specification.
I would say it should be "OpenIndiana".
"Illumos" would cover several different distros with potentially
different sysadmin interfaces, which is not helpful.
FYI, here's a similar selection from Chef, to narrow down the type of
Solaris platform, which is all driven from contents of /etc/release. I
added some of this for local use, but I didn't test all the existing
options.
File.open("/etc/release") do |file|
while line = file.gets
case line
when /^.*(SmartOS).*$/
platform "smartos"
when /^\s*(OmniOS).*r(\d+).*$/
platform "omnios"
platform_version $2
when /^\s*(OpenIndiana).*oi_(\d+).*$/
platform "openindiana"
platform_version $2
when /^\s*Open Storage Appliance\s+(.*)$/
platform "nexentastor"
platform_version $1
when /^\s*(OpenSolaris).*snv_(\d+).*$/
platform "opensolaris"
platform_version $2
when /^\s*(Oracle Solaris) (\d+)\s.*$/
platform "solaris2"
when /^\s*(Solaris)\s.*$/
platform "solaris2"
when /^\s*(NexentaCore)\s.*$/
platform "nexentacore"
end
end
end
