Issue #7559 has been updated by Jeff McCune. Assignee set to Martijn Heemels
This doesn't seem to be an issue in recent releases of Facter. I posted similar information in #14366 but I'll cross-post it here to get as much feedback as possible. Martijn, if you could easily configure your instances to install up to date packages from our own repository, would this be an acceptable solution to this issue? It looks like this issue is fixed in recent versions of Facter. I think Amazon simply needs to update the version of Facter they make available to the AMI. I checked facter running on amzn-ami-pv-2012.09.0.x86_64-ebs (ami-1624987f) in both a VPC and "normally" and here's what I get: <pre> [ec2-user@ip-10-204-211-77] (master)(dirty)[██▁]~/src/facter $ bundle exec facter virtual xenu [ec2-user@ip-10-204-211-77] (master)(dirty)[██▁]~/src/facter $ bundle exec facter is_virtual true [ec2-user@ip-10-204-211-77] (master)(dirty)[██▁]~/src/facter $ git describe 1.6.17-467-g05f2519 </pre> I think the main question at this point in time is; how can we make it as smooth and robust as possible to get recent Facter releases into these affected instances. Would you run Facter from our repositories if it were easy and well-supported to do so? -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Feature #7559: Fact for identifying Amazon VPC instances. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7559#change-81682 Author: Nigel Kersten Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Martijn Heemels Category: library Target version: Keywords: vpc ec2 arp Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.10 (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.
