Puppet 3 module for Cumulus Linux License

Here is a Puppet 3 module for applying the Cumulus Linux license to your nodes. You can change the logic to use $hostname or $fqdn or any other facter fact, but you will want to put some logic in there for future growth (ie: will you ever move to 40Gb switches?).

License file is dropped on the node at /etc/license . Be sure to name your directory the SAME AS the name of the class in ../modulename/manifests/init.pp 

       
# manifests/init.pp
class cumulus_license {

## BASIC CHECK - ARE 10GB SWITCHES THIS SETUP? THEN USE 10GB LICENSE
## OTHERWISE USE OTHER FACTER FACT TO DECIDE
if ($architecture == 'x86_64') and ($operatingsystem == 'CumulusLinux') {
  file { '/etc/license':
    ensure => present,
    owner  => root,
    group  => root,
    source => 'puppet:///modules/cumulus_license/my_10Gb_license',
    }

## AND USE THIS IDENTIFIER TO DECIDE ON 1GB LICENSE
if ($architecture == 'ppc') and ($operatingsystem == 'CumulusLinux') {
  file { '/etc/license':
    ensure => present,
    owner  => root,
    group  => root,
    source => 'puppet:///modules/cumulus_license/my_1Gb_license',
    }
  }
}

## CHANGE TO THE LICENSE FILE NOTIFIES THIS EXEC
## NOW RUN THE LICENSE COMMAND AND IF IT SUCCEEDS THEN DO NOTHING
## IF FAILS THEN HARDWARE IS UNLICENSED AND WILL INSTALL FROM PUPPET 
exec { cl-license-command :
  command     => ['/usr/cumulus/bin/cl-license -i /etc/license'],
  unless      => ['/usr/cumulus/bin/cl-license'],
  subscribe   => File['/etc/license'],
  refreshonly => true,
  }
}
       
 

A few notes about operation:

1. First the puppet run validates that there is an existing valid license on the switch. If there is, then do nothing. If you want to apply a new license then you will update puppet and run the cli-license command manually

2. If there is no active license then it tries to apply the license found at /etc/license (pushed there by puppet). You can rename this to whatever you need.
3. Make sure your Cumulus License files are in the files section of the module. These are just simple text files that get pulled in by the cli_license command during the run
4. You /may/ have to reboot the switch after the new license is applied. Please refer to Cumulus docs for guidance there.
