Hi, I've inherited an environment that is using Puppet 2.7. We're migrating from one datacenter to another, but we're still running out of the old datacenter. Some of our hardware there is reaching EOL, and it's creating a situation that I, with my limited Puppet experience, am not really sure how to procede.
We have a node that is fairly critical, that may be dying. Long story short, we have a a server there that has the same resource setup (CPU, RAM, etc), that isn't doing anything, and we want the spare node to take over for the critical node. After much discussion, we think the easiest way to make that happen is by running the puppet manifest for the critical node, on the spare node. This raises a couple of questions - the one that I'm having the most trouble wrapping my head around is, what is the best method for making the spare node use the critical nodes manifest? I don't think I can just copy and paste it into the spare nodes manifest (it used to be part of a different group of servers), can I? I assume I need to change the hostname...if so, what is the best method for doing so? Both nodes are running Debain 6 - any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
