This is a work in progress! cmc is a puppet module for managing various Dell chassis. Extending Puppet's "Device" capability.

This module works by ssh'ing into a network appliance and using the racadm command along with defined paramaters to configure the appliance.

Currently, the only supported usage is for checking and updating the cmc firmware.

• This module requires that the net-ssh gem be installed and available to the puppet user.

The following class would create an appropriate configuration to run the puppet device command on device.

    $hostname = 'localhost'
    cmc::config { $hostname:
      username => 'root',
      password => 'letmeinnow',
      port     => '22',
      url      => $hostname,  #defaults to name
      target   => "${::settings::confdir}/device/${hostname}",
    }
    
    racadm_fw_update { 'update':
      firmwares =>
        version => '0.4.1',
        path    => 'path/to/binary'
      }
    }
