Should server should be installed on middleware and client?
This is correct. The server portion is the mcollective daemon. Without that daemon you will not be able to remotely manage the middleware and client hosts. If you need to restrict most people from managing those look at the ACL plugins. > 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?
