Hi,
I'm struggling to know the best method of definining multiple solaris zones
in nodes.pp. I can get it working with one zone but scaling is a problem.
Below is a summary of my problem if you don't mind reading on but in short
it's a request to see how anyone else has defined zones (or virtualised
machines) in nodes.pp
So far I have a nodes definition like this which is basically the host
definition with some key value pairs defining the network portion of a zone
:-
* node 'ptc37551' {
$zonename = "zone37551-01"
$dns_server1 = "10.20.136.11"
$netmask = "255.255.255.0"
$ip_address = "10.20.89.99"
$default_route = "10.20.89.1"
include node_default
include physical
include LDAP, Automount
include zones*
The class zones at the bottom of the above entry is a module containing an
erb template.This picks up the values defined in the node def and looks like
this:-
*system_locale=en_GB
timezone=GB
terminal=vt100
security_policy=NONE
root_password=Ru3eT4PHOTtzo
timeserver=localhost
name_service=DNS {
domain_name=test.com
name_server=<%= dns_server1 %>
}
network_interface=primary {
hostname=<%= hostname %>
ip_address=<%= ip_address %>
netmask=<%= netmask %>
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=<%= default_route %>
}*
The init.pp file in the zones module looks like this:-
class zones {
zone { zone37551-01:
# This class refers to the file in templates/zones.erb. variable defs held
in nodes.pp
ip => "bnx0:10.20.89.89",
sysidcfg => template("zones.erb"),
path => "/zfs/zone37551-01",
realhostname => "zone37551-01.test.com",
inherit => ["/usr", "/sbin", "/platform", "/lib"],
ensure => running,
}
}
which as you can see is rubbish as it still contains hard coded definitions
rather than values passed from nodes.pp. I'm guessing the answer lies with
define statements along the lines
class zone {
zone::zone1 {
zone1 details
}
but bringing it all together is causing some brain problems. If anyone has
done something similar already I'd be pleased to hear from them
Thanks
Paul
