Puppet agent 4.x upgrade/ installation

Support
1

Hello,

I have foreman 1.12.3 with pupper servers puppet version 4.7.0, but with my
current setup, puppet agent 3.8.5 is installing.
How do I make the new clients installations from foreman should install
puppet agent 4.x?
I have checked in puppet_setup snippet, but didnt work out.

Thank you.

Apologies,
Ubuntu Xenial.

Hi Dominic,

Puppet agent being installed, but I want the puppet version on that agent
should be 4.x.

What does that mean precisely?

The puppet_setup snippet has a parameter called
"enable-puppetlabs-pc1-repo" - set it to "true" on the host, an OS or
globally and it should configure the Puppet PC1 repositories and install
puppet-agent.

Hi,

I have given force-puppet is true as host parameter, but still puppet-agent
is not installing on the client, only normal puppet is installing on the
host.
I suppose, host.param_true should be served as forcepuppet parameter.

Thanks.

The parameter for the PC1 repository (and AIO Puppet) is called
"enable-puppetlabs-pc1-repo", please re-check my reply. "force-puppet"
only forces an agent to be installed.
