What's New in Puppet in Oracle Solaris 11.4

Puppet 7.21.0. Oracle Solaris 11.4 Support Repository Update (SRU) 57 introduces the Puppet 7.21.0 software.

When Puppet 6.26 is installed on a system, an update to Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 57 replaces the Puppet 6.26 Agent with the Puppet 7.21.0 Agent.

Note:

Future Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRUs might include updated versions of Puppet 7.

Earlier versions of Puppet have been included with the following Oracle Solaris 11 software:

  • Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 45 through SRU 56 supports the Puppet 6.26.0 Agent component.

  • Oracle Solaris 11.4 through SRU 44 supports the Puppet 5.5 Master and Puppet Agent components.

  • Oracle Solaris 11.3 supports the Puppet 3.6 software.

Note:

Do not install a different version of the Puppet software on your system.

For information about alternate ways to run the Puppet Server on a system that runs at least Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 57, see https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/puppet_index.html.

While the Puppet software is updated automatically, you must update the Puppet configuration on your system manually. For information about maintaining and updating your Puppet configuration, see Puppet Documentation.

The Puppet web site does not include information about updating Oracle Solaris SMF service properties. Updating Puppet software on an Oracle Solaris 11.4 system migrates existing SMF service property values automatically. However, you must remove obsolete property values and update property values that require changes manually. See Configuring the Puppet Agents.
