Hi all, i have written a own resource type to manage Interfaces, ipaddresses and mor on Solaris systems. I also enabled purging for the ipaddress resources to destroy no longer included ipaddresses in a catalogue for a system. All works fine and without problems. But in some rare situations, he wants to create a Ipinterface with a Ipaddress before he destroys an other, not in catalogue included ipaddress. Is there a option to configure that he first always destroys resources that not included in the catalogue? Example: Ip configure on Interface: e1000g1/v4 Ip in catalogue on Interface: ipmp1/v4 During first Puppet run i got this error: Error: /Stage[network]/Network::Solaris::Ip_address/Network::Solaris::Def_ipaddress[ipmp1/v4]/Ipaddress[ipmp1/v4]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: ip='1.2.3.4' already exists! Notice: /Ipaddress[e1000g1/v4]/ensure: removed As you coold see, he tries first to create and then a destroy on the other resource. Now i need a second puppet run to create failed resources. :-( Any idea how to implement such ordering: destroy before create? Is it true, that Puppet execute Reources of the same resorce type sequential? Regards Andreas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
