Issue #4731 has been updated by Adrian Rixon.
Ah! I narrowed down the various parts of the manifest and it's this part of a
module that triggers the error:
host { "s2XXXX08":
ensure => present,
ip => "172.16.99.4",
host_aliases => ["timehost", "loghost", "puppet"]
}
host { "mailhost":
ensure => present,
ip => $mailhostip,
}
host { "s2XXXX15":
ensure => present,
ip => "172.16.99.22",
host_aliases => ["updatehost", "buildhost"]
}
(i.e. leave that module out or comment those lines and everything else works.)
/etc/hosts on the client already contains:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
172.16.99.125 s2XXXX20 s2XXXX20.my.domain
172.16.99.4 puppet
/etc/resolv.conf contains:
search my.domain
nameserver 172.16.99.3
nameserver 172.16.99.13

Bug #4731: Client reports "Invalid IP address", need better error

I get "Parameter IP failed: Invalid IP Address" on two newly-built Puppet
clients under RHEL 5.5. The underlying cause isn't the issue, the problem is
that the error message gives me almost nothing to go on. After inserting extra
debug in the code, I see that $ip is empty, but where does it get this value
from? If a file, which one and what line? If from system config, how is it
derived? I've run the client and server in debug/trace mode, and I'm still not
seeing where this problem originates.
The Puppet master system has been cloned from an existing server and
renamed/re-addressed. A client system that was also cloned with it works fine.
This issue only affects two new clients, so I assume some old config in the
server hasn't been cleared out. However, the output needs to show more info
about the origin of the error.
