[Puppet Users] large file download, timeout?

2009-07-17 Thread Fernando Padilla
Hi. I'm a beginner, but I have a basic puppet setup working. I am doing a manual tarball installation and it seems to be hanging then eventually timing out on just downloading the file: file { "/opt/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz": source => "puppet:///hadoop020/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz"

Ok, I'll bite :) warning: this is going to be long and complicated, i think this is the part which was most challenging in setting up our puppet infrastructure. some background and assumptions: - we have many sites / locations / data centers. - we have many different host types (e.g. server prof

I like the idea of having puppet manage a directory by mirroring it using rsync. The function you have seems pretty good, one thing missing is some logging. I have run in to times where you only want to sync on puppetruns and not during a predetermined time period using cron. I normally write scri

As someone whose actively setting up and deploying puppet on new machines, this bug is a huge annoyance for me. Instead of having a simple recipe, my process involves invoking puppet to create users, then invoking puppet to add keys. It's frustrating that this still isn't fixed in the released ve

Perhaps if you didn't declare the dependencies accurately, some orderings would work and some orderings would fail. Seems no different to a declarative build tool in that respect. Julian. 2009/7/17 Burkholder, Peter : > > I just finished listening to the Configuration Management panel from

I just finished listening to the Configuration Management panel from OSBridge (on blip.tv). Near the end of it, Adam Jacob states that Puppet's resource dependency ordering is non-deterministic, and that manifests that work fine 19 times will fail the 20th time. Is this true? I'm puzzled that
