Hello Puppeteers,
please consider the following scenario: Puppet is supposed to set up similar
(but not necessarily identical) groups of hosts for a range of customers. For
each customer a dedicated filesystem tree needs to be established on host A.
This should not be difficult using exported File resources, however: How do I
make sure that only the exported File resource of the first created host in a
customer group is imported by host A? Otherwise puppet will -- understandably
-- complain about duplicate imported resources on host A:
Error: Another local or imported resource exists with the type and title
File[customer/fs/tree] on node A
In other words: May I use an "if defined()" when collecting resources on host A
-- and if so: How does the syntax to reference a specific _imported_ resource
look like? Or would I be able to prevent the creation of an exported File
resource on a customer host when host A already has imported the appropriate
resource from a host previously defined for this customer? (In this case: How
do I reference "File[customer/fs/tree] on node A"?)
There's no way to tell which host type in a customer group will be created
first (all customers will have at least one host, but not necessarily of the
same type), hence I can't pin the exported File resource to a certain type of
host which always has to be installed first.
Or should I consider a completely different approach to solve the problem --
any suggestion which one?
Thanks a lot for caring
Patricia
