It's great that you're using Puppet and MCollective and trying to get them setup everywhere, and there are some really easy ways to do that when provisioning a new VM - either through templates or the build process. Personally, I have Puppet baked in to our base installs (we actually don't use templates, we kickstart each machine via Cobbler) and use Puppet to install MCollective.

If you're wondering about *existing* VMs that for some reason you can't just rebuild... what about a good, old-fashioned ssh-in-a-for-loop?

Hi,

I am writing scripts for deployment of our software and I am also using MCollective on linux.

I hope to use MCollective in order to reduce the requirement of opening a putty session to each VM and running the puppet agent manually the first time (when its registers/ creates keys etc). The problem I see with this is that I need to log in to each machine and install/configure mcollective (server.cfg & client.cfg), so for this reason I do not save myself very much effort by using mcollective.

I am using vms so I can add mcollective to the vm template, but I wont know the name of mcollective/activemq machine nor would I know the name of the machine at that point.

How do you guys deploy mcollective? It seems abit like a chicken/egg scenario!
