Hi, I''m trying to create a host entry and want puppet to remove the alias if is exists for that host in the host file. If alias is not set aliases are left as they are for that host. If alias is set to undef aliases are left as they are. If alias is set to '''' is constantly changes the host file on each run. Is ther a way of achieving this?

I have
host { "hosts buildserver" :
ip => "192.168.1.1"
name => "buildserver",
ensure => present,
}
so how do I ensure aliases are absent
host { "hosts buildserver" :
ip => "192.168.1.1",
name => "buildserver",
ensure => present,
alias => ensure => absent,
}
That doesn''t seem to make sense and I get
Jan 14 01:22:04 buildserver puppetd[1212]: [ID 702911 daemon.error]
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at
''=>'';
expected ''}'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:113
Perhaps I wasn''t clear with my question I meant the alias for the host
(the host type).
Or do I just have the syntax wrong.
I have tried
alias => undef,
alias => '''',
alias => [],
alias => [undef],
alias =>[undef],
none of which seem to remove the alias if it is already in the host
file and do this only once not every time puppetd runs.
Thanks
Peter

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: How to ensure a host has no aliases
So for your example you would want to remove all host entries that point to 192.168.1.1 except the buildserver host entry? Or you want the buildserver host entry to be removed? Or you want to replace whatever host entry buildserver has, with 192.168.1.1?

I guess I was wrong, looking at the code I dont think that you can remove an alias, just replace it to something else. funny, if you put the word absent as an alias, puppet think there is no alias. sounds like a bug to me as the absent key word is translated into absent alias value.

Its all a bit weird.
an empty string does what I want but it then changes the host file and
spits out its changing absent to absent.
a space gives
Jan 14 03:48:04 buildsun4u puppetd[12213]: [ID 702911 daemon.error]
Could not run Puppet configuration client: Parameter alias failed:
Aliases cannot include whitespace
looks like it bails after that
Also if there are two nodes with the same canonical name puppet will
make the ips the same but does not delete the second entry so you are
left with 2 lines with the same IP address.
When you update the alias it only changes one of the lines.
I have purging enabled with
resources { "hosts purge":
name => host,
purge => true,
}
What I''m trying to achieve is if I declare a host it is set exactly
like that and any other entries are removed from the host file
including any unspecified nodes, any aliases that are not specified (I
can''t get this to work if there are no aliases to specify) and any
duplicates (they are not removed or there aliases amended).
So if I have the following resources
resources { "hosts purge":
name => host,
purge => true,
}
host { "hosts localhost" :
ip => "127.0.0.1",
name => "localhost",
ensure => present,
}
if $hostname == "buildserver" {
host { "hosts buildserver" :
ip => "192.168.1.1",
name => "buildserver",
ensure => present,
alias => '''',
}
}
if $hostname == "buildsun4u" {
host { "hosts buildsun4u" :
ip => "192.168.1.2",
name => "buildsun4u",
ensure => present,
alias => '''',
}
}
host { "hosts directory" :
ip => "192.168.1.3",
name => "directory.mydomain",
ensure => present,
}
If the host file starts out
# Internet host table
#
::1 localhost
192.168.1.3 directory.mydomain
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 buildserver myalias
192.168.1.99 buildserver
192.168.1.100 splot
I would like to get
# Internet host table
#
::1 localhost
192.168.1.3 directory.mydomain
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 buildserver
instead of
# Internet host table
#
::1 localhost
192.168.1.3 directory.mydomain
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 buildserver myalias
192.168.1.1 buildserver
Thanks
