Quick question:
I am following instruction on the forge module for MCollective install and
configuraiton.
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/mcollective
It gives the example of "I just want to run it, what's the minimum I need?".
***********************************************************
node 'broker1.example.com' {
class { '::mcollective':
middleware => true,
middleware_hosts => [ 'broker1.example.com' ],
}}
node 'server1.example.com' {
class { '::mcollective':
middleware_hosts => [ 'broker1.example.com' ],
}}
node 'control1.example.com' {
class { '::mcollective':
client => true,
middleware_hosts => [ 'broker1.example.com' ],
}}
***************************************
In init.pp, the default value for each component is:
$server = true,
$client = false,
$middleware = false,
<https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/mcollective#i-just-want-to-run-it-whats-the-minimum-i-need>
In the example, for both broker (middleware) and control1(client), it doesn't
specify value for $server.
So it means both middleware and client will get the default value ($server =
true).
Is this correct? Should server should be installed on middleware and client?
I think the server should not be installed on middleware and client.
We should specfiy $server=false for both middleware and client to overwrite the
default value of true.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Also can I installed both middleware and client on one machine, which is my
puppet master machine?
Thanks!!
