#Puppet Enterprise Upgrade Module

WARNING: This module has recently moved to puppetlabs.

This is warning that the adrianthebo namespace version of pe_upgrade is being deprecated in favor of the puppetlabs version. We will be working to retire his forge version in favor of this one. If you previously used the git repo at:

You will need to update your remotes and file PRs against the puppetlabs/ one.

##Description

This module will upgrade Puppet Enterprise.

Travis Test status: Build Status

Usage

Downloading PE from puppetlabs.com

The simplest use of this class downloads the installer from the Puppet Labs servers.

include pe_upgrade

You can also locally host the downloads to conserve bandwidth and speed up deployment time.

Hosting the installer on the master

To cut down on size, the Puppet Enterprise installer is not included. You will need to download your operating system specific installers and place the installers in ${modulename}/files, for instance site-files/files.

You can use the following class definition to download the installer from your Puppet Master.

class { 'pe_upgrade':
  version      => '2.7.0',
  answersfile  => "pe/answers/agent.txt.erb",
  download_dir => 'puppet:///site-files/pe/2.7.0',
  timeout      => '3600',
}

Hosting the installer on a web server

In this example, download 'puppet-enterprise-${version}-all.tar.gz' and place it on your webserver.

class { 'pe_upgrade':
  version      => '2.5.0',
  answersfile  => "pe/answers/agent.txt.erb",
  download_dir => 'http://site.downloads.local/pe/2.7.0',
  timeout      => '3600',
}

Deploying the module from Puppet Dashboard

You can use Puppet Dashboard to configure this module. Since Puppet Dashboard doesn't directly support parameterized classes, you can use global variables to configure the module. See the data.pp class documentation for all respected variables.

Puppet Dashboard will show errors on pe_upgrade runs

The PE Upgrader restarts the puppet service as part of the upgrade process. This results in a TERM signal being sent to the puppet process executing the pe_upgrade module. This will look something like this:

notice executed successfully    /Stage[main]/Pe_upgrade/Staging::File[puppet-enterprise-2.5.3-all.tar.gz]/Exec[/opt/staging/pe_upgrade/puppet-enterprise-2.5.3-all.tar.gz]/returns  /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/staging/manifests/file.pp    83  2012-08-08 20:29 UTC
notice  executed successfully   /Stage[main]/Pe_upgrade/Staging::Extract[puppet-enterprise-2.5.3-all.tar.gz]/Exec[extract puppet-enterprise-2.5.3-all.tar.gz]/returns   /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/staging/manifests/extract.pp 116 2012-08-08 20:30 UTC
notice  executed successfully   /Stage[main]/Pe_upgrade/Exec[Validate answers]/returns  /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/pe_upgrade/manifests/init.pp 137 2012-08-08 20:30 UTC
notice  Caught TERM; calling stop   Puppet          2012-08-08 20:30 UTC

The "failure" is expected and is not really a failure. Restarting the puppet service can also leave unexecuted changes for the next run. So a "full" upgrade may take two puppet runs.

Answers Templates

A default answers file is available at templates/answers/default-agent.txt.erb. It's recommended that you upgrade the master by hand, since that will provide hiera for you, and since 2.5.0 has some new very site specific questions due to the console auth component, it's not really possible to provide a generic answers file.

Required modules

The puppet-staging module is a prerequisite for this module. You can find it at the following locations:

Please view the documentation in the enclosed manifests specific descriptions and usage.

Caveats

Due to the complexity of upgrading masters, using this module to upgrade a master is possible but not supported out of the box; you'll have to supply your own answers file.
