Re: [Puppet Users] installing puppet client
Yeah, a for loop with ssh is probably your best bet to get moving with puppet initially. Longer term you may want to consider pairing Puppet with something like Marionette, but configuring Marionette is easier once you have Puppet in place... it's a bit of chicken and egg. Ideally you pick some tools to manage your servers before you grow to that size, but if not, then you need to spend some time installing tools to manage that level of servers. The piper must be paid. Here at Livemocha we have some 100+ servers and using Puppet and Marionette has been invaluable. We do some administration with a python script that replaced our for ssh loop, but a large part of the heavy lifting is done via Puppet. Since we don't run Puppet in daemon mode, most of the time we use the script is to kick off a Puppet run manually, which we're migrating to using Marionette for (but sometimes it's nice to see all of the output, even if it takes longer without parallelization). -- Nathan Clemons http://www.livemocha.com The worlds largest online language learning community On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 4:03 PM, John Warburton wrote: > On 24 May 2011 23:55, CHEBRIAN wrote: > >> how to install puppet client thru puppet master . >> >> My requirement is to install puppet client nearly 400 client servers. >> >> its difficult to install puppet client in all the servers by apt- >> get . >> >> As others have said, a for loop ssh if you have root trust to your 400 > servers > > As an FYI, we have 5.5K servers, and the way we are installing puppet is > doing a server rebuild (with puppet) - so the puppet client is installed at > jumpstart/kickstart time > > As you can imaging, it will be time consuming.

Re: [Puppet Users] installing puppet client
We have 600 compute nodes, and we face the same issue. Fortunately, all of our nodes (except for 10 dual-homed gateways) are on a private 10.x.x.x network, so once someone is authenticated he or she can rsh around the cluster. So, we used multi-rsh to do the initial work for us. I created a tarball with everything the client needed to get itself up and running: ruby, facter, config file, the works. Then multi-rsh pushed the tarball to the boxes, untarred the file and launched the client. From there is was a matter of signing all the cert requests, then waiting for all the boxes to settle down. I spent a day using our test cluster to get everything working correctly, I even compiled ruby from source. This make upgrading puppet on the clients a breeze. I create a new tarball, and untar it across the cluster, restart the clients, and in a few minutes all 600 nodes are upgraded. Again, this is possible because we use rsh after authentication so multi-rsh just works. ~Charles~ On Tue, May 24, 2011 at 8:55 AM, CHEBRIAN wrote: > Hi, > > how to install puppet client thru puppet master . > > My requirement is to install puppet client nearly 400 client servers. > > its difficult to install puppet client in all the servers by apt- > get . > > share u r suggestions . > > Regards > > chebrian > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
