Hi Erez,
Thats what i suspected,
I want to use foremans ENC to set the hostname,
foreman stores a hostname against each interface/mac address,
as Marek mentioned Hostname is always synced to the primary interface name
in foreman,
the primary interface value is not a node side fact and is only in the ENC
what i'm stuck on is how to consume that information in puppet,
how can i retrieve the information,
if i could iterate i would iterate through each item (mac address) in
foreman_interfaces: and return the hostname value for the item(mac address)
that has primary = true
here is a cleaned output of a hosts YAML output provided by the ENC for
foreman as an example of what i am looking at.
parameters:
puppetmaster: puppet
hostgroup: HostGroup1/Example2
root_pw:
foreman_env: development
owner_name:
owner_email:
foreman_subnets: []
foreman_interfaces:
- mac: 6a:ab:a5:a4:1a:99
ip: 10.1.1.1
type: Interface
name: myhost.mydomain.tld
attrs:
netmask: 255.255.255.0
mtu: '1500'
network: 10.1.1.0
virtual: false
link: true
identifier: en0
managed: true
primary: true
provision: true
subnet:
- mac: a8:a0:ab:5a:ea:1f
ip:
type: Interface
name: ''
attrs:
mtu: '1500'
virtual: false
link: true
identifier: en1
managed: false
primary: false
provision: false
subnet:
Cheers,
Luke
