I've been struggling with puppet variable scope all day, well, for
several months actually.
I think I have pretty simple requirements. For any given node, I want
to be able to set a series of variables and include a set of classes,
based on three different aspects of a node, being physical location,
operating system, and function. If I try and do this with classes, I
find that variables set in a class included from a node, are not
visible to other classes included from that node.
node 'node1.fr.xxx.com' {
include facility::sjc
include ldap::client
}
In this example, variables defined in facility::sjc are not visible in
ldap::client (in this case, it would be the IP address of the local
LDAP server).
Another approach is to do everything with node inheritance, but in
order to model these three functions, you end up with nodes with names
like sjcDellBootServer or nycVmwareBootServer, which is just plain
stupid.
So... what am I missing here, and why is such a simple thing so
complicated in puppet? I'm not even sure if this email is lucid. I am
really annoyed and frustrated as hell.
Doug.
