Hi all,
I have three parameterized classes, named mq, mq_gsk and apache.
The mq class always calls the mq_gsk class, but the apache class
should only call the mq_gsk class when the mq class is not used in a
hosts' node definition
Here is my configuration
class mq (
$gsk_version = undef ) {
require mq::params
< ..... >
class { 'mq_gsk':
gsk_version => "${mq::params::package_gsk_version}",
}
}
class mq_gsk (
$gsk_version = undef ) {
require mq_gsk::params
package { $mq_gsk::params::gsk_packages:
ensure => "${mq_gsk::params::package_gsk_version}",
}
}
When a node needs to be configured as an MQ server, the mq class will
be included and mq and the mq gsk software will be installed. However
some servers only need to have an Apache server installed, but apache
uses an additional plugin which requires the mq gsk software also.
If I configure a host with either MQ or Apache all is well, but as
soon as both classes are included in a node, I get a duplicate /
already defined error (as expected)
ERROR:
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Duplicate definition: Class[Mq_gsk] is already defined in file /etc/
puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp at line 104; cannot redefine
at /etc/puppet/modules/mq/manifests/init.pp:62 on node
nodex.domainy.com
Within my apache class, I tried to use "if defined()", but this does
not seem to work at all
Here is one of my many attempts
if defined(Package["mq_gsk"]) {
notice ( "${apache::params::module_name}, mq module defined, mq_gsk
already included" )
} else {
notice ( "${apache::params::module_name}, mq module not defined,
check websphere module defined" )
if defined(Package["${apache::params::package_name_module_was}"]) {
notice ( "${apache::params::module_name}, websphere module
defined, mq_gsk included" )
class { 'mq_gsk':
gsk_version => undef,
}
}
}
I also tried other things which I read on Puppet Users, like
if defined("mq_gsk") {
if defined("mg_gsk::gsk_version") {
but nothings seems to work. It always says that the mq module is
defined (while the mq class is not included in the host definition) or
it says not included (while the mq class is included in the node)
I wonder I 'defined' is to way forward, of if there is a better way to
solve the 'already defined' issue.
I'm using puppet 2.7.3 on CentOS/RHEL 5.7
