Afternoon all
I've been posting about this subject in Puppet
Users<https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/puppet-users/SJjWbdLoBGU>,
but thought it might be worth me posting here as it doesn't look like many
users are actually using the Network Device functionality yet...
Basically, I'm trying to add support for NetApp filers as a Puppet Network
Device...
I think I've made some pretty good progress, in that I've managed to
successfully connect to our NetApp simulator, retrieve a load of facts
which can be used down the line, and also today managed to successfully
create/destroy volumes on the simulator using Puppet...
However following that brief period of success, I seem to have taken a step
backwards :(
I've basically copied the type and provider for netapp_volume to create a
netapp_qtree equivalent, tweaking as required.
It seems that running either the netapp_volume or netapp_qtree against an
individual node works most of the time.
However when I try and combine the 2, I start seeing random errors such as:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
> Could not autoload puppet/type/netapp_volume: Could not autoload
> puppet/provider/netapp_volume/netapp_volume: uninitialized constant
> Puppet::Util::NetworkDevice on node actint-star-nactl01
>
My node config looks like:
>
> node 'actint-star-nactl01' {
>
> # Testing qtree creation
> netapp_qtree { 'q_puppet_test1':
> ensure => present,
> volume => 'v_puppet_test',
> require => Netapp_volume['v_puppet_test1']
> }
>
> netapp_volume { 'v_puppet_test1':
> ensure => present,
> initsize => "1t",
> aggregate => "aggr01",
> spaceres => "none",
> }
> }
>
The other challenge I seem to be hitting is that despite dropping resources
from the manifest, they're still being queried as part of the puppet device
run... I guess this could be due to the fact that Puppet is failing to
download a catalogue at runtime, so is falling back to a cached version?
So, any ideas on where I could be going wrong???
All code is available on Github<https://github.com/fatmcgav/fatmcgav-netapp>
.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Gavin
P.S. It's probably worth adding that I'm not a developer by trade, I'm an
Ops guy, who usually works in Perl... So Ruby & Puppet is a learning curve
for me... :)
