hi,

I am trying to integrate mcollective with chef.

While trying to install , want to know equivalent plugin for chef  server and client

puppet uses :

yum install mcollective-puppet-client  for server

That would actually be for the client...

 

yum install mcollective-puppet-agent for  agent

...and that for the server.

Anyway, you might want to check out the MCollective cookbook ( https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks/mcollective ), which includes a very basic agent and application for controlling the chef-client service.  I've never packaged them as yum/deb because I deployed mcollective with Chef anyway.

If you've read what the MCollective agent/application for Puppet can do, you'll probably be a little disappointed with the current state of the Chef one, as it hasn't had got a lot of attention this year.
