Looking at Puppet for a new installation. Wondering about the following
capability:
Say I have a reference to some definition, where I call out a relationship:
silo( webservers => "server1", databaseservers =>
"server2" );
(sorry if syntax is incorrect).
Is it possible for the definition of this to trigger "server1" to be
in
a "webservers" class and invoke webserver "appropriate"
things, and
"server2" to do likewise for database server things? In other words,
can you program "self-identifification" of a host based on it being
referenced as a member of an instantiation?
Sorry if this is obvious, new to the language. A URL reference to the
info would be appreciated. Thanks.

For now i use the tag in my nodes perhaps there is a way to tell this in a better way but as you i tried to make the define tag a server but it does not work as i wanted. -- Cordialement, Ghislain _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

(You can also explicitly create tags.) So you would have something like this: node server1 { include webserver include silo } node server2 { include databaseserver include silo } class silo { if tagged(webserver) { ... } if tagged(databaseserver) { ... } } xn
