Has the solaris 10 VM run a "puppet agent -t" and is has had it's SSL certificate signed by the master? If so, have you moved beyond a basic Hello World module? https://docs.puppet.com/pe/2015.2/quick_start_helloworld.html
If so, have you classified that solaris 10VM in the PE Console? https://docs.puppet.com/pe/2015.2/quick_start_adding_class_nix.html If so, do you have output of the puppet agent run on the solaris 10 VM where it it is failing? Perform the following on the solaris 10 VM: puppet agent -t --verbose Have you considered running the puppet client agent on the solaris 10 VM locally, as in without speaking to the master server, via a: puppet apply --noop A "puppet apply" requires the sidedoor code to be on the solaris 10VM https://docs.puppet.com/guides/tests_smoke.html#testing-in-brief Regards, James On Sat, Jun 4, 2016 at 12:55 AM, Warron French <warron.fre...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have posted this twice and haven't gotten any replies on my questions. > Are my questions confusing? > > It's kind of weird that there hasn't been any replies at all on this > post.
