Hi,
I'm playing around with strategies on cfengine 2.1.13, and I want to
activate one strategy depending on whether a particular class is
defined.
(As a matter of fact, I'm trying to distribute my machines over
different servers, and the choice of the server is made by a strategy,
and now I want the secondary servers to be taken into account only when
cfengine is run from cfexecd.)
What does not work:
strategies:
from_cfexecd::
{ server_select
server_primary: "2"
server_secondary1: "2"
server_secondary2: "2"
}
!from_cfexecd::
{ server_select
server_primary: "1"
}
(This would have appeared to me to be the most logical way to do
things.)
What does also not work:
control:
from_cfexecd::
secondary_weight = ( 2 )
!from_cfexecd::
secondary_weight = ( 0 )
strategies:
{ server_select
server_primary: "2"
server_secondary1: "$(secondary_weight)"
server_secondary2: "$(secondary_weight)"
}
(This gives an error message `strategy distribution weight must be an
integer'. That would have been my second choice.)
I should be able to get around this limitation by using
`from_cfexecd|server_primary' and `!from_cfexecd.server_secondary', but
that strikes me as a little less elegant.
