Hi Harsha,

Yes, I tried. It failed.

root@elb-1:~# puppet agent -t
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/java_home.rb
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Invalid parameter create_parents at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:31 on
node elb-1.openstacklocal
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I think they have not yet implemented it, isn't it?
