##Overview

This module installs and sets up Razor.

##Dependencies

The Database should be postgres >= 9.1

Modules:

• reidmv/yamlfile (REQUIRED)
• puppetlabs/stdlib (REQUIRED)
• puppetlabs/postgresql (Optional)
  • puppetlabs/apt (postgresql)
  • puppetlabs/concat (postgresql)
• puppetlabs/vcsrepo (Optional)
• puppetlabs/tftp (>= 0.2.3) (Optional)
  • puppetlabs/xinetd (tftp)
• maestrodev/wget (Optional/tftp)
• [https://github.com/gini/puppet-archive.git] (Commit e21f401d01da8d25848319c95ff2ccf435b0ba8b) (Optional)

• If you want to set up PostgreSQL config:
  • include 'posgresql::server' [puppetlabs/postgresql]
• If you want to compile the Microkernel (on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL)
  • puppetlabs/vcsrepo module
• If you want to set up TFTP boot files
  • include 'wget'
  • class { '::tftp': } [puppetlabs/tftp]
• If you want to download/extract a microkernel,
  • Do not set microkernel_url to undef. (Default : puppetlabs precompiled)
  • gini/archive module

##Usage

It is highly recommended to put secret keys in Hiera-eyaml and use automatic parameter lookup

• [https://github.com/TomPoulton/hiera-eyaml]
• [https://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/puppet.html#automatic-parameter-lookup]

Make sure to include all dependencies as per above.

Also see the examples/profile.pp file for an example on how to set up dependencies.

  class { 'razor':
    db_hostname => '127.0.0.1',
    db_password => 'notasecretpassword',
    server_http_port => '8150',
  } 

Unfortunately Puppet does not support autorequire for classes. Hence a dependency for each of the custom types must be set to Class['razor']. Class['razor'] -> razor_broker...

razor_broker { 'name':
  require => Class['razor'],
  ...
}

Razor_repo { 
  require => Class['razor'],
  ...
}

Note: you will probably need to run it twice anyway as the razor server service is very slow to start. API calls will only start working a few minutes after the service starting. [suggestions welcome to fix that]

##Reference

You should only use the 'razor' class.

Types

razor_broker

razor_broker { 'puppet-dev':
  ensure        => 'present',
  broker_type   => 'puppet',
  configuration => {
    'server'      => 'puppet',
    'environment' => 'dev'
  },
}

• name: The broker name
• ensure: The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are present, absent.
• broker_type: The broker type
• configuration: The broker configuration (Hash)
• provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_broker resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:
  • rest: REST provider for Razor broker

razor_policy

razor_policy { 'install_ubuntu_on_hypervisor':
  ensure        => 'present',
  repo          => 'ubuntu-14.04.1',
  task          => 'ubuntu',
  broker        => 'puppet-dev',
  hostname      => 'host${id}.test.com',
  root_password => 't3mporary',
  max_count     =>  undef,
  before_policy => 'policy0',
  node_metadata => {},
  tags          => ['small'],
}

• name: The policy name
• ensure: The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are present, absent.
• repo: The repository to install from
• task: The task to use to install the repo
• broker: The broker to use after installation
• hostname: The hostname to set up (use ${id} inside)
• root_password: The root password to install with
• max_count: The maximum hosts to configure (set nil for unlimited)
• after_policy: The policy after this one
• before_policy: The policy before this one
• node_metadata: The node metadata [Hash]
• tags: The tags to look for [Array]
• provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_policy resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:
  • rest: REST provider for Razor broker

razor_repo

razor_repo { 'ubuntu-14.04.1':
  ensure  => 'present',
  iso_url => 'http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/ubuntu-14.04.1-server-amd64.iso',
  task    => 'ubuntu',
}

• name: The repository name
• ensure: The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are present, absent.
• iso_url: The URL of the ISO to download
• url: The URL of a mirror (no downloads)
• task: The default task to perform to install the OS
• provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_repo resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:
  • rest: REST provider for Razor broker

razor_tag

razor_tag { 'small':
  ensure => 'present',
  rule   => ['=', ['fact', 'processorcount'], '1']
}

• name: The tag name
• ensure: The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are present, absent.
• rule: The tag rule (Array)
• provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_tag resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:
  • rest: REST provider for Razor broker
