Hi Okay, I have downloaded and will re do he trainging VM.
But I have finished the reading this blog http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ << suggested to me here. This is basically what i am trying to do. But I would like to see / test what I am doing along the way The install of puppet / hiera was by the documentation . I have added in an ENC - only so I can allocate (in on place) node to environments and potentially ?? I have a test node and I try the puppet agent -t --noop --verbose hoping to see some results of my work on the puppet master. I have seen - cert request and I have signed this. Now this is what I am probably missing is the link in the production environment to the class list - via roles / profiles ? I am presuming I need to look at work with /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp and get that to work with hiera ..
