7. Development

This puppet module installs and mounts the panfs kernel module for Panasas systems.

Typically this is setup up locally via the config_panfs script, but the options aren't obvious and you should be able to define networks and mountpoints instead of going off and fixing the config script's problems later.

• fstab configuration for mountpoint (defaults to /panfs)
• kernel module and service for panfs
• It will create the mountpoint for you (not recursively though)

panfs { realm => 'blah.example.com' }

or use IP:

panfs { realm => '192.168.1.50' }

panfs { realm => '192.168.1.50',
mountpoint => '/blah',
}

Mounts global scope at /blah instead.

Tested on Centos6. Requires an RPM or DEB of panfs and panfs-apps to be available in a source repository somewhere. Requires firewall rules - see the panfs documentation for which ports.
