Puppet users - Nov 2011 - Phasewise run of puppet

Hi All,

I have a  requirement to initiate puppet runs of different services in
a phase wise manner.  I have the following setup in my nodes.pp

node /^(host1|host2)\.domain\.local$/ inherits basenode {
         include role_service1
}


node /^(host3|host4)\.domain\.local$/ inherits basenode {
         include role_service2
}

Now i want to run puppet on host1 and host3 and then on host2 and
host4. In short i would like to group the hosts into phases

phase1 - host1|host3
phase2 - host2|host4

I would like to make a class something like phase1 and phase2 and then
use mcollective to initiate a puppet run:

mco puppetd -Wphase1 runonce.

I am unable to get an idea how do i accomplish this or change anything
in my manifests. Any suggestions would be of great help.

Regards,
Kevin

you seem to be on roughly the right track

I''d make these a module and do something like roles::services1 and
roles::services2

alternatively you can create a custom fact that sets which phase a node
is in

with your 2 includes above you can just do: mco puppetd -W role_service1 runonce

or if you went the fact route do;

mco puppetd -W phase=1 runonce
