SCI services management¶

PUPPET¶

Puppet http://www.puppetlabs.com/) is the open source platform for enterprise systems management.
Puppet is used to deploy the configuration to the cluster instances.
Documentation can be found at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/

Puppet master is installed on the instance 'sci'.

By default you have several modules in puppet:

• Apt config(approx)
• DNS config(bind9)
• DHCP config(dhcpd)
• locale config(locale)
• timezone config(timezone).

Classes pick and providing parameters for it made by /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:

node 'default' {
    class { sources_list_local: stage => pre0, }
    class { common_profile: stage => pre1, }
    class { timezone: zone => "Europe/Moscow", stage => main, }
    class { locale: def_locale => "ru_RU.UTF-8", stage => main, }
}

node 'sci' {
    class { approx_local: stage => pre0, }
    class { sources_list_local: stage => pre0, }
    class { common_profile: stage => pre1, }
    class { bind9_sci: stage => main, }
    class { timezone: zone => "Europe/Moscow", stage => main, }
    class { locale: def_locale => "ru_RU.UTF-8", stage => main, }
    class { dhcpd: enabled => no, stage => post1, }
}

If you don't specify node, default classes will be accepted for this node.

Apt¶

Apt is configured on the instance 'sci' via puppet.

sources.list¶

Global distributed sources.list template is resided in /etc/puppet/modules/approx/templates/sources.list.erb

Approx¶

Approx is configured in /etc/puppet/modules/approx/templates/approx.conf.erb
To apply your changes quickly you should issue

/etc/init.d/puppet restart

DNS¶

DNS is configured on the instance 'sci' via puppet.

The forward zone file is stored as a template at /etc/puppet/modules/bind9/templates/sci/zone.erb
in system it will be at /etc/bind/master/$domain
The reverse zone file is stored as a template at /etc/puppet/modules/bind9/templates/sci/in-addr.erb
in system it will be at /etc/bind/master/in-addr
On each update you should set new (growing) zone serial number, initially

0000000001 ; Serial

to the new growing value. YYYYMMDDNN is recommended (NN - is the change number in one day).
Feel free to modify it to adjust your system.

New names should be placed below the string

; here you can put any other records

To apply your changes quickly you should issue

/etc/init.d/bind9 reload

Note that if you using dynamic updates(e.g. from dhcp-server) you must before editing file:

rndc freeze your.domain

for forward zone or

rndc freeze 168.192.in-addr.arpa

for reverse zone.
And after editing the zone you must:

rndc unfreeze your.domain

or

rndc unfreeze 168.192.in-addr.arpa
