• To install the puppet agent on the virtual machine, copy the puppet agent install files to the virtual
machine. The puppet agent is available on the ASM appliance for both Windows and Linux
in /var/lib/razor/repo-store directory. If the virtual machine being customized has network access to
the ASM appliance, you can connect to this same directory as a network share directory using the
address: \\<ASM appliance hostname or IP>\razor\puppet-agent .
Depending on your operating system, the installer may require additional packages (.rpms) which are
dependencies and you must install it first. If the installer reports such dependencies, use the correct
method for your operating system to find and install the dependencies, and then retry installation of
the puppet agent.
NOTE: The puppet agent version should be greater than 3.0.0 and lower than 3.4
• After you install the puppet agent, make sure the puppet agent service is enabled to run on system
start.
– For Windows virtual machines, this must be done by viewing the services and setting the puppet
agent service to "automatic".
– For Linux virtual machines, verify whether or not the puppet agent is enabled by running the
following command and checking the value of "enable" is set to true:
Puppet resource service puppet
– If the service is not set to true as noted above, run the following puppet command as
administrator:
puppet resource service puppet enable=true
• Time must be synchronized between the ASM appliance and the virtual machine being cloned to
ensure proper check in upon completion of cloning. Make sure NTP is configured on the virtual
machine. Follow the appropriate instructions for your operating system to synchronize the virtual
machine with an NTP server.
• Make sure the ASM appliance hostname "dellasm" can be resolved by using DNS. Either add the
appropriate CNAME record in DNS* or add the appropriate host entries to "/etc/hosts" in Linux or "C:
\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts" in Windows.
• Configure the puppet.conf file to use "dellasm" as a server. To configure the puppet.conf file, perform
the following:
– Identify the location of the puppet.conf file. To do this, run the following command as
"administrator" in Windows or "root" in Linux which will display the directory of the puppet.conf
file.
puppet config print config
– Open the puppet.conf file by using a text editor and add the line "server = dellasm" to the [main],
[master], and [agent] section. If any of these sections does not exist, create them. A sample
resulting puppet.conf file may look similar to the following:
[main]
server=dellasm
[master]
server=dellasm
[agent]
server=dellasm
