Hello, Reading the doc I could not find if Puppet could help running system updates.
I would like to get started with several VMWare guests and few hosts, all running CentOS. Some are 32bits, some 64bits. These are mostly VMWare server installations; just starting ESXi with one system. They are running different apps/configurations. Of course there are few issues with: 1- VMWare tools that want to be sometimes recompiled on Linux. There is a trick to avoid the recompilation: http://vmetc.com/2008/08/31/automating-vmware-tools-installs-and-upgrades-in-linux-guests/ but maybe this could be taken care of with Puppet? 2- VMWare server on the host sometimes does not restart after a kernel update. It also need to be recompiled. Of course the VM Guests are down. 3- The host kernel updates might require reboot, shutting down guests. Can Puppet help for these tasks? Examples? Thanks, Thierry --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
