Afternoon all... I've started looking at coding this into our framework now, and have hit a possible stumbling block...
Currently, I've got a fact that reads out the configured Oracle SIDs in /etc/oratab and sticks that into an 'oracle_sids' fact. I've also got a Property (oracle_required_sids) against the host in Foreman which contains a comma separated lists of SIDs that *should* be configured on the host. What I want to do is compare those 2 lists, and action any changes... So if there's a SID in the oracle_required_sids var that isn't in oracle_sids, then it should be created. If there's a SID in the oracle_sids var that isnt in oracle_required_sids, then it should be removed... I've established that Looping isn't something that Puppet currently handles, so I'm looking for an alternative method... Any ideas???
