installation and upgradation of puppet on SLES/OpenSuse

[shashank]

Hi,

My puppet master and agent version is 3.6.2 running perfectly on rhel and centos.

Now we have included the SUSE linux as some compute/agent nodes.

The problem I am facing is with the up-gradation/installation of puppet-3.6.2 and its dependencies on SUSE,I did few things which didn't worked.

1)From the suse repo,It will keeps the latest version of puppet i.e puppet 3.7 which is greater than the puppet master's version //download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/puppet/SLE_11_SP3/systemsmanagement:puppet.repo

2)Also tried to install from compling through the source code i.e installation through .tar file.

3)Also used yast manager

 Since the above process didn't solve the problem. 

So,the simple query is "How can I install a specific puppet version (as of now 3.6.2) on SLES client with all dependencies".Better to get the RPM repos.

Please suggest any links,forums or process.

Thanks

I am assuming you're trying to install the puppet agent on SLES. Bear in mind that the puppet agent version must be lower than or equal to the version of puppet master (assuming your infrastructure is master / agent).

Your best bet is to use Yast and use  Software Management tool to add the puppet agent to your SLES infrastructure.

Good luck,
