perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Jeff White <>]

+1 for SaltStack (a similar question with Puppet was posted yesterday)

I haven't see anything with Perfsonar and SaltStack but one approach 
would be not using the ISO but deploying a CentOS box (with a minion on 
it) using whatever methods you may already have and install Perfsonar 
packages from there.  I assume this installation method is still 
available in the new Perfsonar but I haven't looked.

Otherwise it sounds like you'd be doing the same thing I'll likely do: 
build a Perfsonar box by hand and throw a minion on it.  You might 
leverage salt-ssh or something of the sort to add a minion automatically 
after deploying the box but it may be more trouble than it is worth 
unless you plan on having lots of nodes or spinning them up often.
