This works, but I'm not sure it's the best way about going about it. I'm trying
to define host groups in my site.pp file in such a way that when puppet runs on
my nodes, they "know" their functional role and are configured accordingly. My
site.pp;
node base {
class { 'dirsvc': }
class { 'ntp': }
class { 'yum': }
}
# workstations
node 'inky.example.com', 'blinky.example.com' inherits base {
$hostclass = "workstation"
class { 'root': }
}
# server
node 'pinky.example.com' inherits base {
$hostclass = "server"
class { 'root': }
}
# server
node 'clyde.example.com' inherits base {
$hostclass = "server"
class { 'root': }
}
Example of a manifest using the $hostclass variable;
class root {
if $hostclass == "server" {
$rootpass = '$6$tTZjKZGj$undthG0kn5.5Fs/'
}
else {
$rootpass = '$6$6R8/bcDf$Ta5Uxl7eZlH.MP/'
}
user { "root":
ensure => present,
password => $rootpass,
}
notify { "my_hostclass":
message => "Hostclass: $hostclass",
}
}
