Sateesh, Still not following why you need to use the Ruby DSL.
There are many great reasons to ultimately use the Ruby DSL, but right now you are seemingly struggling to learn/understand Puppet fundamentals. I would strongly suggest that the Puppet DSL is there for a reason - it will help you structure your thinking to match the infrastructure you're working with. -Eric -- Eric Shamow Professional Services http://puppetlabs.com/ (c)631.871.6441 On Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 11:37 PM, sateesh wrote: > Hi John, > > I have solve that class issue.
