Puppet users - Jul 2014 - duplicated resource with an exported resource

Hi all,

    I have found a problem setting up exported resources. The problem is 
that for every hosts I want to define in its /etc/hosts the primary ip, but 
I want to export a secondary ip with the same hostname that will be 
collected just by one server. So I defined:

 

@@host { $::hostname :

  ensure  => present,

  ip      => $secondary_ip,

}

 

host { $::hostname :

  ensure  => present,

  ip      => $primary_ip

}

 

 

but when I launch puppet a duplicated resource arises:

 

# puppet agent -t

Info: Retrieving plugin

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Duplicate declaration: Host[XXXXX] is already declared in file 
/etc/puppet/manifests/init.pp:15; cannot redeclare at 
 /etc/puppet/manifests/init.pp:5 on node XXXX

Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

 

I have just implemented a workaround:


@@host { "${::hostname}-secondary" :

  ensure  => present,

  ip      => $secondary_ip,

  host_alises => $::hostname,

}

 

but I wanted to know if there is a better solution.

 

thanks,
