Cheers for the response.
As per my other threads, I'm writing a NetApp Network device module for
Puppet.
One of the functions required is the ability to set 'options' against a
given volume.
What I want to do is create a provider that accepts a volume name and a
list of volume options with their corresponding settings, and then iterate
through the provided list making a webservice call for each option.
So to give a better example of the provider in pastebin:
netapp_volume_options { 'v_puppet_test12111508':
options => ['convert_ucode=on', 'no_atime_update=on'],
}
Have just pushed my latest code to Github here:
https://github.com/fatmcgav/fatmcgav-netapp/tree/master/lib/puppet/provider/netapp_volume_options
I did manage to get it working after a bit of googling... However am happy
to take suggestions if there is a better method :)
Cheers
Gavin
