To be honest I'm not sure is it what I'm looking for. Intro describing how razor works mention about new node identification. There is no even single word how it works. Is it don by boot on new host some stub system which identifies physical attributes? It catches some data from DCP srver about new/unknown MAC addresses? Node tagging with node identification: to be hones I'm not sure do i need it. I don't want to start ANY installation if for example some newly appeared physical host would be manually assigned to some exact template so all what I need is only list of new/unidentified hosts. Appearance of new/unknown host requesting to install something (DHCP requests) should be even treated as alarm. To be hones all what I need is transforming some puppet per host description to DHCP config entry and generate some files: one in tftproot in pxeboot,cfg/ directory and second one injecting files in http served directory like kickstart file or in case Solaris profile and manifest. I'm not going to use full aminstall because it is only frontend on maintain DHCP configuration and assign profile/manifest. In other words I'm not going to organize using puppet aminstall frontend. >From point of view maintaining kickstart or Solaris profile/manifests I need only some generator of those files basing on data like used software repositories, ability to describe used authentication, storage layout setup, system setup like used DNS servers, etc Tomasz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
