Issue #7559 has been updated by Justin Lambert.
I have solved this for me by updating line 28 in ec2.rb to: Facter::Util::EC2.has_ec2_arp?) || Facter::Util::EC2.can_connect? This could be simplified by removing all of the conditionals other than the EC2.can_connect? check since to keep the existing logic if the mac address matches a connection check is also run. I'm not sure this is the best solution, but it works for me on my EC2 instances. ---------------------------------------- Feature #7559: Fact for identifying Amazon VPC instances. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7559#change-65257 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: (From the list) I ran into a buglet in facter 1.5.9rc6 (from tmz repo). In normal AWS instances it works great. In VPC instances if doesn't work. This seems to be because VPC instances don't use the fe:ff:ff:... MAC addresses. <pre> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:E1:26:30 inet addr:172.17.129.24 ... /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:67:4E:DA:58:16 inet addr:172.17.128.126 /sbin/arp Address HWtype HWaddress Flags Mask Iface 169.254.169.253 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 172.17.128.1 ether 02:67:4E:C0:00:01 C eth0 </pre> Of the two VPC EC2 instances I've seen, the MAC address always start with 02:67:4E. I have only seen two instances, both in the same VPC, so I don't know if this holds for every VPC instance, YMMV. in ec2.rb , the following seemed to work: <pre> def has_euca_mac? !!(Facter.value(:macaddress) =~ %r{^02:67:4[eE]:}) end </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
