One last update on my progress. I have 4 installed on Scientific Linux with the only client being itself at the moment. The current plan is to either find replacement modules or move over as many modules as I can. If I can get the bulk of the modules and a few important ones, then I will be very happy. I have new hardware that is significantly better and I am really concidering moving puppetdb to a second node. But I will do that when I am done with a bit more module testing.
The only modules I have tested so far are the ones from puppet-labs: concat, stdlib, firewall, and ntp. Strangely enough, I was getting all kinds of errors with the firewall module. I disabled it, ran 'puppet agent -t' again where it configured ntp and had a successful run, then re-enabled it to get an error to report on...and it worked! I am not sure what happened...If it happens again, I will capture more detailed output. I knew there were a lot of changes, but wowzer. I kept thinking "Huh...that's different. I guess that is what the documentation ment when it said $feature had changed..." :-) It is also good, because I have been wanting to implement the environments feature for a while, but never got around to it. This is basically forcing me to. :-) Lastly, I have always had a bit of a rough time with hiera data not picking up at times (see my previous posts for frustrations last year), but a few quick tests worked a LOT better this time. I am guessing it is just the combination of all the updates and improvements (puppet/heira/new hardware/new environment that I haven't managed to mangle in strange ways yet/ect :-D ). I will be working on this quite a bit this week. I will keep you updated as I go.
