I''m following the example provided in the type reference
under ''zone'', i.e.:
zone{myzone:
autoboot=>true,
create_args=>"-b",
ip=>"nge0:10:130.55.201",
path=>"/zoneds/%s",
realhostname=>"myzone.example.com",
sysidcfg=>template(sysidcfg)
}
with the following template:
system_locale=en_AU
timezone=Australia/NSW
terminal=xterms
security_policy=NONE
root_password=elided
timeserver=localhost
name_service=DNS {domain_name=<%= domain %>
name_server=10.132.2.150}
network_interface=primary {hostname=<%= realhostname %>
ip_address=<%= ip %>
netmask=<%= netmask %>
protocol_ipv6=no
default_route=<%= defaultroute %>}
nfs4_domain=dynamic
The sysidcfg template is ripped straight from
<http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#zone>
but it doesn''t work:
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Failed to parse template sysidcfg: Could not
find value for ''realhostname'' at
/staging/puppet/production/manifests/nodes.pp:90 on node elided.example.com
This is with Puppet 0.24.7 on both client and server.
I''ve not really needed the templating before so it''s possible
that
there''s a really obvious error in the template provided in the
type reference and I''m just not seeing it.
Matt

Facter 1.5.2 on opensolaris here doesn''t output a fact with that name. Does it work if you substitute ''hostname'' or ''fqdn''? cheers rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Matt, There is no realhostname variable in scope when the template is getting called. Variables in templates either need to be facts or set in the scope of Puppet they are being called from. Does that make sense?

OK. So the docco is completely wrong: everything referenced in the template needs to be set as a variable prior to defining the zone. I''d assumed from context that the template was going to have the previously-declared object properties passed to it. I can live with that, I was going to abstract the zone type anyway.

You can''t define a variable in a template without declaring the variable. If you don''t reference said variable in a template then where is the value going to come from?

As this was my first exposure to the template system (we haven''t had any need for it thusfar, most of our configs are site-wide) it wasn''t obvious that the template wasn''t going to pick that stuff up from the zone type definition it was being called from where "realhostname" *is* being defined, just not as a variable. -- * Matt McLeod | mail: matt@boggle.org | blog: http://abortrephrase.com/ * --- People can do the work, so machines have time to think --- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
