This is actually in Facter. Can you bug report here please? http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/facter/issues If you can give us a cheap way to detect if infiniband is in use, we can fix this. On Mon, Jan 2, 2012 at 2:24 AM, ew wrote: > Hi all, > we maintain our cluster (SL 6.0 X86-64) wi

Check your kernel and compare against this bug: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10418 It sounds to me like your puppet client is hung, which is why the kick isn't working. So the problem isn't the kick, it's the client state. On Jan 2, 2012, at 7:51 AM, Pavel Weber wrote: > I have exact

Hi all, I've created a script to glue together several parts of Puppet Enterprise 2.0. It enables me to deploy a server by simply creating a DNS record and starting this script. This script: - Clones a VMWare template - Configures the network - Installs the Puppet-client on the new mach

Hi Mario, I have exactly the same problem you described. Have you got the solution for this? I didn't find any reply for your question. What we found that there is the puppetdlock file in directory: /var/lib/puppet/state on the host. If the file is there then it shows the message while runn

Hi all, we maintain our cluster (SL 6.0 X86-64) with puppet (client / master 2.7.1). The cluster is equipped with infiniband hardware. Although everything works fine we have some strange messages on each system during a puppet run: puppet agent -t --noop notice: Ignoring --listen on onetime run in
