I''m new to puppet and would like to read variables into my manifest from the puppet dashboard. I''m would like to create solaris zones from the dashboard. My scenario is: From dashboard add node with parameter set for ip. I know that the /var/log/pe-puppet-dashboard/production.log has the information from the dashboard. I want to be able to pull the node and ipaddress into my install manifest I already have scripts that install my zones already and will leverage them to create the zones. Here is my install manifest - $HOSTNAME=''''#Zone name from Dashboard $IPADDRESS=''''#IP Address from Dashboard class install { file { ''zonecfg'': ensure => present, owner => root, group => root, mode => 0755, source => ''/usr/nbox/bin/zonecfg.sh'', } file { ''s10'': ensure => present, owner => ''nobody4'', group => ''root'', mode => ''0755'', source => ''/usr/nbox/install/s10-puppet.sh'' } file { ''login'': ensure => present, source => ''/usr/nbox/install/flatfileofglobalnodes'' } #Login to Global Zone exec {''login'': command =>''/bin/ssh pe-puppet@$(flatfileofglobalnodes)'', required => File[''login''] } #Run Zone Create Script With Needed Parameters exec {''zonecfg'': command =>''/usr/nbox/bin/zonecfg.sh $HOSTNAME $IPADDRESS'', require => File[''login''] } #Login To Created Zone exec { ''zlogin'': command => ''/usr/sbin/zlogin $HOSTNAME'', require => File[''zonecfg''] } #Mount Sysadmin Directory exec { ''mount'': command => ''/usr/sbin/mount -F nfs 10.128.10.93:/vol/tmp /usr/ nbox'', require => Exec[''zlogin''] } #Run Post Script To Set Environments and Install Puppet Agent exec { ''s10'': command => ''/usr/nbox/install/s10-puppet.sh'' require => Exec[''mount''] } #Reboot Created Zone exec { ''reboot'': command => ''/usr/sbin/zoneadm -z $HOSTNAME reboot required => Exec[''s10''] } } Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
