Solaris¶
Salt was added to the OpenCSW package repository in September of 2012 by Romeo
Theriault <romeot@hawaii.edu> at version 0.10.2 of Salt. It has mainly been
tested on Solaris 10 (sparc), though it is built for and has been tested
minimally on Solaris 10 (x86), Solaris 9 (sparc/x86) and 11 (sparc/x86).
(Please let me know if you’re using it on these platforms!) Most of the testing
has also just focused on the minion, though it has verified that the master
starts up successfully on Solaris 10.
Comments and patches for better support on these platforms is very welcome.
As of version 0.10.4, solaris is well supported under salt, with all of the
following working well:
Salt is dependent on the following additional packages. These will
automatically be installed as dependencies of the py_salt package.:
Installation¶
To install Salt from the OpenCSW package repository you first need to install
pkgutil assuming you don’t already have it installed:
On Solaris 10:
On Solaris 9:
Once pkgutil is installed you’ll need to edit it’s config file
/etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf to point it at the unstable catalog:
Ok, time to install salt.
Minion Configuration¶
Now that salt is installed you can find it’s configuration files in
/etc/opt/csw/salt/.
You’ll want to edit the minion config file to set the name of your salt master
server:
If you would like to use pkgutil as the default package provider for your
Solaris minions, you can do so using the providers option in the
minion config file.
You can now start the salt minion like so:
On Solaris 10:
On Solaris 9:
You should now be able to log onto the salt master and check to see if the
salt-minion key is awaiting acceptance:
Accept the key:
Run a simple test against the minion:
