Has anyone found documentation on upgrading Puppet 3.4.3 to Puppet 3.6.2. running on RHEL 6.4

I have found some documents, but nothing simple and clearly defined.

First update the server, then agent nodes. You can use Puppet to update the agents (I've written myself a small module to do that).

I have found some documents, but nothing simple and clearly defined.

Server: yum upgrade
Agents:
    Manual: yum upgrade
    Automatic: Use (custom) puppet module, maybe with a version parameter. Then to update, just increase the version number and wait for the next automatic agent run.

Feel free to ask for my module ;).

HTH...

Thanks for the very prompt respo0nse.

So respectively on the Puppet Master I have copied Puppet 3.6.2 to /var/data/Puppet. I have the RHEL 6.4.iso mounted to /mnt

So I am guessing to upgrade the Master it should be as simple as yum upgrade puppet-server-3.6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm

and yum upgrade puppetdb-2.0.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm

and the obvious yum upgrade puppet-3.6.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm

Yes (could also be one command).

"yum upgrade", as I suggested, would update ALL packages to their LATEST versions.

Bye...

I would love to take a look at your module.
