Hi, Thanks for the answer, I understand that with exported resources, I can create interactions between nodes.
But If I understood your suggestion, on node b I will get the file defined on node a : great. But does this implicitly mean that all resources on node b will wait that the file is created ? Or how do I define a require link between the classes define on node b ? May I write something like that : node a { # Do this when the DB is installed @@file { "/tmp/dbdone.txt": content => "Woo, DB installed!\n", tag => "dbdone", } } node b { File <<| tag == dbdone |>> Pakackage{'jboss': require => [ File<<| tag == dbdone |>>], } } Cordialement, Bernard Granier CE Plateforme Système bernard.gran...@morpho.com 01 58 11 32 51 -----Original Message----- From: puppet-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kyle Sexton Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 9:25 PM To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] dependencies between nodes "GRANIER Bernard (MORPHO)" <bernard.gran...@morpho.com> writes: > Hi, > > I need to describe dependencies between nodes, for example, to be sure > that database is deployed on one node before deploying web application > on another node. > I haven't messed with inter-dependent nodes yet, but exported resources might fit the bill. Something like: ,---- | node a { | # Do this when the DB is installed | @@file { "/tmp/dbdone.txt": content => "Woo, DB installed!\n", tag | => "dbdone", } } | | node b { | File <<| tag == 'foofile' |>> | } `---- Then if /tmp/dbdone.txt is on nodeb it's safe to install? Again, haven't tried this but potentially worth looking at. No matter what I'm curious what the solution is. -- Kyle Sexton -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
