Installation

Install centos Check and see if there is an eth listed 

ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

If none exists: 

ifconfig >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Delete everything except the mac address Have the following lines: 

HWADDR=”XXX”
BOOTPROTO=”dhcp”
ONBOOT=”yes”
NM_CONTROLLED=”yes”
DEVICE=”eth0”
TYPE=”ethernet”
wget http://yum.ucsf.bkslab.org/SETUP/desktop.sh
sh desktop.sh

Once it’s done, DON’T HIT ENTER Enter the information into foreman (new machine, etc) Then click on Infrastructure -> Smart Proxies Then click on certificates -> autosign entries -> new Enter in the host (ie mia.desktop.ucsf.bkslab.org) Then on the desktop hit enter You should see the cert get signed If you add a repo or something to the machine in foreman it will update automatically (eventually) but if you need it done right away, on the desktop type puppet agent -t


Important Note: The desktop.sh script has a deprecated path regarding the repodata. The script causes the scl.repo to have a PYCURL error because of its path. To fix it, go to /etc/yum.repos.d/scl.repo with vim and change the baseurl line to: 

baseurl=http://yum/centos/6/sclo/$basearch/sclo/
