Hi guys,
I'm trying to get my head around conditionals and variables.
What I'm trying to do now is to distinguish between puppet servers and
puppet clients and deliver some settings differently. How can I do that?
I tried to put a variable in the node classes:
node 'puppet1' {
$puppetmode = "master",
include puppetmasterclass
}
node 'client1' {
$puppetmode = "client",
include puppetclientclass
}
and then in the classes do something like:
case $puppetmode {
"master": {
$baseurl_base = "file:///puppet/repos"
}
"client": {
$baseurl_base = "http://puppet1/inst";
}
}
class system::repos {
yumrepo { 'RHEL-5.5-64':
descr => 'RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5 64-bit',
baseurl => "${baseurl_base}/RHEL-5.5-x86_64/Server",
}
}
But that doesn't work. Another attempt was to do the "case" statement by
hostname wildcard:
case $hostname {
"puppet*" {
$baseurl_base = "..."
}
}
but that didn't work either.
It's not only about puppet master/client. I will have to know in some
modules in which datacentre a given node is, etc. So was hoping to be
able to set a couple of parameters in the node declaration and then work
with that in the modules.
Can I somehow pass variables or other tokens around the catalogue and
make conditional decisions in other modules based on them?
I'm sure this is something trivial but can't figure out how to do that.
Thanks for any hints!
GiBo
