Hello all,
I have read through the sparse documentation on the Search (intentionally
capitalized to differentiate from the verb) function as well as searched the
group list (and mail archives) with little success to finding an answer. It
is my understanding that I want to use the Search function to achieve my
goal.
I would like to know:
a) is my understanding about the purpose of this function incorrect?
b) the recommended way to accomplish making variables defined in classes
available to other classes, dynamically (see below as an example).
Using a contrived example, I have a series of classes with site-specific
settings & variables:
site::office
site::datacenter
etc.
In each of these classes I have some site-specific variables defined that I
want to be able to reference in other classes.
manifests/site.pp:
$site_name = "office"
site/manifests/office.pp:
class site::office inherits site::common {
$dns1 = "1.2.3.4"
$dns2 = "2.3.4.5"
$search = "$site_name.local"
}
bind/manifests/dns.pp:
class dns::client inherits dns::common {
search "site::$site_name"
file { "/etc/resolv.conf" :
content => "search $search\n nameserver $dns1\nnameserver $dns2\n"
}
}
I get error that the variables, $search, $dns1, et cetera are unknown.
Thank you and regards,
Robb
