ok I found a workaround to my problem. I updated the network module
(https://forge.puppetlabs.com/razorsedge/network) so that it is now
accepting a label as the name rather than interface (eth0 etc). In this way
I can provide a unique name and get away with assigning same name leading
to error. then I introduced a new parameter to module to accept interface.
For example my data now updated as follows.
/etc/puppet/hieradata/admin1.json
{
"networks":{
"admin1-admin":{
"interface":"eth0",
"ipaddress":"192.168.1.1",
"netmask":"255.255.255.0"
}
}
}
But I still like to know is it possible to use the create_resources and
virtual resources together where I need to pass hieradata also.
Thanks,
CD
