It's bound to be sub-optimal, but I too found puppet-lvm hard to get started
with. Firstly, I took a long time to discover that I needed to set pluginsync
to get the module copied to all hosts:-

Hi,
Being a newbie, I'm trying to wrap my head around puppet. Here are my

About renaming a user:
In practice, I try to avoid this because there are too many things a username
touches for me to be comfortable that I have caught it all.
Easier to delete the old user and then create a new one.
The complication happens if there are files that need to be preserved.

Hi John,
I have solve that class issue. I have specified that as
hostclass :'swift::proxy-ring' and it worked. My problem is I have to
run the exec command in the script for which the Class "swift::proxy-

Hi John,
Thank you for your response.
I am using the Ruby DSL, as I need to loop some exec commands for
which there will be some IP adress array that will be passed. Please

hostclass :swift::proxy-ring do
require "swift::common"
$storage_local_net_ip = ['IP1','IP2
Sateesh,
It is better if you don't look at it as a "loop." A loop is a very procedural
concept. You are working with a machine that you are trying to get into a
fixed state.
So better to think "I want to have a bunch of similar-looking resources that
are identified and enumerated in an array
Further, you should remember that there is no reason for an Apache
configuration to be monolithic. Apache is perfectly happy to have a bunch
of files to include. Throw in a naming convention (e.g. files named
foo.ssl will be included by my SSL config file) and you've got some real
flexibility.
