Some additional information.
I can confirm that the reason that
server_role = Facter.value(:hostname)
if server_role[0,1] != "a"
isn't true for servers who's names do start with a is directly related to
settings in the location_code.rb file
if I rem out everything in server_role except
server_role = Facter.value(:hostname)
the hostname is printed with the first 2 or 4 characters removed as shown
in location_code.erb
if ip_address.between?(104127100, 104127255)
location_code.slice!(0,2)
else
location_code.slice!(0,4)
end
If I change the numbers from 2 to 3, or 4 to 5 for example, the hostname is
different on my remarked server_role.erb file
I would assume that the line in server_role.erb
server_role = Facter.value(:hostname)
would get the proper hostname from Facter, but it doesn't appear to.
Any ideas on why?
