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
