Puppet users - Sep 2010 - Exported resource Host[fqdn] cannot override local resource

Hello All,

     So, I realize this is a common issue, but still can''t identify
the problem here.  Even after reading similar posts...  Essentially,
I''m exporting / collecting hosts via stored configs..
Here''s my export class:

class basic::export{
      @@host { $fqdn: ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases => $hostname, tag
=> "${func_group}"}
     }
}

Here''s how I''m collecting them:
Host<<| tag == "${func_group}" |>>

**func_group is defined in the external node classifier (Foreman: I''m
not sure it makes a difference).
func_group= "test"

Why am I getting exported resource conflict?  fqdn is unique to each
host, so there are no duplicates...

What do you guys think?

Cheers,

Henry

I''ve never done this, but I would assume that it''s
host_aliases.  Try removing that and see what happens.

Thanks for your response, but host_aliases is part of the host type.
See below:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/0.25.5/type.html#host :

host
Installs and manages host entries. For most systems, these entries
will just be in /etc/hosts, but some systems (notably OS X) will have
different solutions.

Parameters

ENSURE

The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are
present, absent.

HOST_ALIASES

Any aliases the host might have. Multiple values must be specified as
an array. Note that this property is not the same as the “alias”
metaparam; use this property to add aliases to a host on disk, and
“alias” to aliases for use in your Puppet scripts.

IP

The host’s IP address, IPv4 or IPv6.

NAME

namevar
The host name.

PROVIDER

The specific backend for provider to use. You will seldom need to
specify this – Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider
for your platform. Available providers are:

parsed:
TARGET

The file in which to store service information. Only used by those
providers that write to disk.

Are you absolutely sure?  What host is complaining about the duplicate?

Do you have any "plain" host type declarations outside of the
collected resource which may be conflicting?

Hello Jeff,

     This is the "only" class(s) I''m running on this host:

class basics{
      include basics::collect
      @@host { "$fqdn": ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases =>
$hostname,
tag => "${application}"}

class basics::collect {
     require basics
     Host<<| tag == "${application}" |>>
     }
}

This is what the host file looks like:
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at Tue Sep 21 12:51:18 -0400
2010
# HEADER: by puppet.  While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost


There are no other hosts declarations. i.e,

grep -iR "host {" /etc/puppet/
/etc/puppet/modules/basics/manifests/init.pp:      @@host { "$fqdn":
ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases => $hostname}
/etc/puppet/modules/basic/manifests/hosts.pp_bak:      host
{ ''test_host_for_puppet'':
/etc/puppet/modules/basic/manifests/init.pp:      @@host { "$fqdn": ip
=> $ipaddress, host_aliases => $hostname, tag =>
"${func_group}"}

Only basic has another host export / collection... but I''m not using
that one right now, just "basics".  It''s pretty confusing, as
now I
can''t even do the collection without any  filtering. i.e,

class basics{
      include basics::collect
      @@host { "$fqdn": ip => $ipaddress, host_aliases =>
$hostname}

class basics::collect {
     require basics
     Host<<| |>>
     }
}

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Exported resource Host[fqdn] cannot override local resource on
node node.dev.domain.com


Thanks,

What does the output of the following commands return?

facter fqdn
facter hostname
facter ipaddress

It looks like your hostname is localhost.localdomain, and puppet is
refusing to change the entry you already have for
localhost.localdomain from 127.0.0.1 to whatever the ipaddress fact
returns.

client ~ $ facter fqdn; facter hostname; facter ipaddress
client.dev.domain.com
client
172.20.19.191


server ad # facter fqdn; facter hostname; facter ipaddress
server.dev.domain.com
server
172.17.19.175

also very strange.. the collection goes through twice ! Even thought I
have it setup once..
i.e,
debug: Scope(Class[basics]): Collected 2 Host resources in 0.01
seconds
debug: Scope(Class[basics]): Collected 0 Host resources in 0.00
seconds

Thanks,

I''d take a look at the database tables, looks like two resources may
have the same IP address property or some other conflict.

I purged the entire database and things are working again.  I did lose
some valuable settings from Foreman, but restarting with a clean slate
was worth the hassle.  I''ll look into integrating some DB snapshots
into my setup.  That way I''ll be able to revert to a previous database
snapshot if need be.

Thanks for your help.

Henry
