Puppet users - May 2011 - variables inside a template for my hp ilo device

I am writing a hp ilo module to automatically assign a static ip that is derived
from the IP of the system which is fed in via facter.  I basically just need to
change the network the ilo is connected to.

The ruby code works great inside the irb console.  However, puppet
doesn''t seem to be able to use the variable I have derived from the
ipaddress.  This is my first template so I am not exactly sure if I can use ruby
syntax inside a template.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?





# Define the two variables which will be used to determin which network the ilo
will go on
ilonet = ''21''
gwbit = ''240''
dns = ''10.0.1.19''
netmask = ''255.255.255.0''

iparray = ipaddress.split(''.'')
iloip = iparray[0] + ''.'' + iparray[1] + ''.''
+ iparray[2] + ''.'' + ilonet
gwarray = iloip.split(''.'')
gateway = gwarray[0] + ''.'' + gwarray[1] +
''.'' + gwarray[2] + ''.'' + gwbit

It should be just fine you you wrap it in the "Ruby escape":

<% example = 12 * 12 %>
<%= example %>  => 144

If you want, though, you can use the erb command line tool that ships
with Ruby to make the transformation for you.  ''erb -x
foo.erb'' will
spit out the transformed Ruby to generate your content, and you can
inspect that to see exactly how this is working.
