To give you an idea. I defined the wollowing class:

class sws::services::cluster (

  $control_clu_name        = $sws::params::control_clu_name,
  $control_clu_members     = $sws::params::control_clu_members,

) inherits sws::params {

    package { 'ccs' :
      ensure => installed,
    }

    class {'pacemaker::corosync':
      cluster_name    => $control_clu_name,
      cluster_members => $control_clu_members,
      require         => Package['ccs']
    }

}

(There's a lot more in there, but I cut out the not so relevant bits...)

Currently this works, if I just declare the control_clu_name and 
control_clu_members parameters in advance, and then add this class to the 
nodes I listed in control_clu_members via Foreman.

Now when I add another node to the cluster I need to do two things: Add the 
class to the node in Foreman, and add it's fqdn to the control_clu_members 
parameter. I was just wondering if there was a way to do this last thing 
automatically.
