Author

Geoff Davis [email protected]

Requirements

• Puppet version >= 3
• puppetlabs-stdlib module from PuppetLabs. Ships with Puppet Enterprise, also available on the Module Forge and on Github
• osfamily fact. Supported by Facter 1.6.1+. Or you can use the code blurb below
• puppetlabs-concat module - also available on the forge. Only required if managing the antelope_services fact - see below
• A supported Operating System for Antelope. Currently Linux or OS X

Usage

Facts

This module includes Facter facts for several things related to Antelope. It also optionally manages the contents of a fact called antelope_services, described below.

The antelope services fact

By default, this module will try to create a fact called antelope_services which contains a comma separated list of all of the system services created by the antelope::instance defined types. The creation of this fact depends on a couple of different modules and resources, which you may not want to configure. If you want to skip creating this fact, set the manage_instances_fact parameter to the main antelope class to false, and set the manage_fact parameter to false for each antelope::instance that you manually define.

Other facts

• antelope_versions - All versions of Antelope installed on the system
• antelope_latest_version - The newest version of Antelope installed on the system
• antelope_latest_perl - the version of Perl that ships with antelope_latest_version

Classes

Class antelope

Sets up a basic Antelope environment. The optional dirs or instances parameters automatically configures antelope::instance resources.

Please look at the class definition in init.pp for additional parameters that can control behavior, such as manage_rtsystemdirs

Basic usage of the Antelope class

 class { 'antelope': }

With the dirs parameter

This form creates a default antelope::instance set up to manage a real-time system as provided in the dirs parameter

 class { 'antelope':
   dirs => '/rtsystems/default',
 }

This form creates an antelope::instance but does not create the antelope_services fact

 class { 'antelope':
   dirs                 => '/rtsystems/default',
   manage_instance_fact => false,
 }

With the instances Parameter

The instances parameter, when used instead of dirs, takes a hash of hashes. This can be useful for configuring multiple instances with different users from an External Node Classifier without having to explicitely declare separate antelope::instance definitions.

 class { 'antelope':
   intances => {
     antelope => {
       user => 'rt',
       dirs => ['/rtsystems/foo', '/rtsystems/bar'],
     },
     antelope-baz => {
       user => 'basil',
       dirs => '/rtsystems/baz',
     },
   }
 }

Class antelope::mco

Install an MCollective Agent for managing Antelope.

include antelope::mco

Defined Type antelope::instance

Configure an instance of Antelope. More than one can be configured. Useful for real-time systems running as different users. Permissions on the rtexec.pf in each entry in dirs are managed unless manage_rtsystemdirs is false. Note that in the example below, only the antelope instance will show up in the antelope_services fact

 antelope::instance { 'antelope' :
   user => 'rt',
   dirs => ['/rtsystems/foo', '/rtsystems/bar'],
}

antelope::instance { 'antelope-baz' :
   user        => 'basil',
   dirs        => '/rtsystems/baz',
   manage_fact => false, # don't create an entry in the antelope_services
                         # fact for this instance.
}

Same configuration as above, but no antelope_services fact is created:

 antelope::instance { 'antelope' :
   user        => 'rt',
   dirs        => ['/rtsystems/foo', '/rtsystems/bar'],
   manage_fact => false,
}

antelope::instance { 'antelope-baz' :
   user        => 'basil',
   dirs        => '/rtsystems/baz',
   manage_fact => false,
}

Defined Type antelope::sync

Installs a wrapper around rsync for copying Antelope from a golden master. Includes the ability to synchronize an optional site-specific tree.

You must at a minimum declare the host parameter with this class.

class { 'antelope::sync' :
  host => 'buildhost.example.net',
  site_tree => '/opt/mysite',
}

Defined Type antelope::php

Enables the Antelope PHP bindings in php.ini

This will install the PHP bindings using the latest installed version of antelope, as determined by the antelope_latest_version fact

include antelope::php

Same as above, but being explicit with the version string

class { 'antelope::php' : version => '5.2-64' }

Defined Type antelope::versioned_site_pf

Put a site.pf in place for a particular version of Antelope. Allows multiple resources to be declared for different versions of Antelope, as well as arbitrary staging locations.

Parameters

Parameters affecting antelope::versioned_site_pf's behavior:

[version] The version of Antelope that this site.pf instance will belong to. Defaults to $title. This is the namevar.

[source] If set, this file is copied directly with no template evaluation performed. 'template' and 'source' cannot both be set. Defaults to undef.

[content] If set, this is used as the file's contents. This allows you to specify your own template in case the default template doesn't work for you. Defaults to template('puppet/site.pf.erb'). It is an error to define both template and source at the same time.

[path] If set, override the default filename. Defaults to '/opt/antelope/$version/data/pf/site.pf'

Parameters affecting template evaluation:

[mailhost] Accessible IP address or hostname of system running mail relay agent. Defaults to ''

[mail_domain] Used by site.pf template evaluation. Domain name for outgoing mail -- e.g., 'brtt.com'. Defaults to $::fqdn

[default_seed_network] Used by site.pf template evaluation. Used in miniseed headers. This code is officially assigned so don't pick one arbitrarily. Put that code in here, or use the default 'XX' code.

[originating_organization] Used by site.pf template evaluation. Used in SEED volumes in the '010 blockette'. Fill in the long name of your organization or institution here. Default is ''.

[institution] Maps to the big-'I' Institution parameter in site.pf. Short code part of the author field in the origin table, e.g., UCSD. The combination of this short code and the username in the Antelope origin table can only be 14 characters after one is burned for a colon delimiter, e.g. $INSTITUTION:$USER. Default is 'XXXX'.

Example

Install a site.pf for the latest version of Antelope. Uses the antelope_latest_version fact provided by this module.

antelope::versioned_site_pf( $::antelope_latest_version :
  mail_relay               => 'smtp.ucsd.edu',
  mail_domain              => 'ucsd.edu',
  default_seed_network     => 'TA',
  originating_organization => 'UC San Diego',
  institution              => 'UCSD',
}

Install a site.pf for Antelope version 5.3 in $ANTELOPE/data/pf

antelope::versioned_site_pf { '5.3' }

place a site.pf in a real-time system directory

antelope::versioned_site_pf { 'rtsystems/www' :
  version => '5.3',
  path => '/export/home/rt/rtsystems/www/pf/site.pf'
}

Defined type antelope::versioned_license_pf

Define a license.pf parameter file for a particular version of Antelope.

This is a define rather than a class because we need to be able to support more than one version of Antelope being installed on a particular system for testing.

Parameters

Parameters affecting behavior of this define:

[version] The version of Antelope that this license.pf instance will belong to. Defaults to $title. This is the namevar.

[source] If set, this file is copied directly with no template evaluation performed. template and source cannot both be set. Defaults to undef.

[content] If set, this is used as the file's contents. This allows you to specify your own template in case the default template doesn't work for you. Defaults to template('puppet/license.pf.erb'). It is an error to define both template and source at the same time.

[replace] If true or yes, the contents of the file will be replaced if it exists. If false or no (the default) any existing contents are left in place

[path] If set, this is used as the filename for the license file. This allows you specify an arbitrary location for license files for staging purposes. Defaults to /opt/antelope/$version/data/pf/license.pf

Parameters affecting template evaluation:

[license_keys] An array containing license keys, one per array element.

[expiration_warnings] If false, the parameter no_more_expiration_warnings is set in license.pf. If true, it's not set in license.pf

Examples

Set the license.pf for the latest version of Antelope:

antelope::versioned_license_pf( $::antelope_latest_version :
  license_keys    => [
    'tabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12 2014 May 01 # node foo.ucsd.edu Antelope 5.1',
    'tbbadef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12 2014 May 01 # node bar.ucsd.edu Antelope 5.1',
  ],
  replace => true,
}

Facter Facts

antelope_contrib_basedir

Antelope versions 5.5 and higher (actually started in 5.4post) now relocate the Antelope contributed code repository (contrib) to a subdirectory. This fact is a hash of versions of Antelope installed on the system and what subdirectory contrib lives in. Returns an empty string if not relocated, and "/contrib" if it is for each version.

Should look something like this:

{"5.2-64"=>"", "5.3"=>"", "5.4"=>"", "5.4post"=>"/contrib"}

antelope_latest_version

Shows the newest version of Antelope installed on the system

antelope_latest_perl

The version of Perl that ships with the latest version of Antelope, as provided in the antelope_latest_version fact.

antelope_latest_python

The version of Python that ships with the latest version of Antelope, as provided in the antelope_latest_version fact.

antelope_versions

Legacy-style fact that provides a comma-separated list of Antelope versions installed on the system.

antelope_versions_array

New-style fact that provides an array of Antelope versions installed on the system.

antelope_versions_supports_ald_proxy

Returns an comma-delimited string of all system versions of Antelope that support the Antelope License Proxy. E.G.

'5.3,5.4,5.5'

antelope_versions_supports_ald_proxy_array

Returns an array of all system versions of Antelope that support the Antelope License Proxy. E.G.

['5.3','5.4','5.5']
