Issue #1866 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Priority changed from High to Normal Target version changed from Statler to Telly
---------------------------------------- Feature #1866: Support for specification of multiple servers https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1866 Author: Ian Turner Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: plumbing Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 0.24.7 Keywords: load balanced, multiple masters, high availability Branch: At the moment it is only possible to tell puppetd about one puppetmaster: Engaging multiple servers requires load balancing equipment such as that employed by the reporter of Feature #1557. The simplest (for administrators) way to address this issue is to enable round-robin server access within puppetd itself. This is the technique employed extremely effectively in openvpn. I propose two configuration changes: The "server" directive should accept a comma-seperated list of servers, and a new "randomserver" boolean directive indicates how the server list is traversed. Pseudocode to be executed at the start of each puppet run: <pre> # if randomserver and lastserver = NIL # serverlist <- rotateleft(serverlist, rand(length(serverlist)) # nextserver <- NIL # trialcount <- length(serverlist) # loop until nextserver ≠NIL # trialserver <- first(serverlist) # if retrievecatalogok(trialserver) # nextserver <- trialserver # else # server <- rotateleft(server, 1) # trialcount <- trialcount - 1 # if trialcount = 0 # error("no working servers") # lastserver <- nextserver </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
