Subject: Re: [cobbler] using parameterized mgmt classes

David, that was a terrible post on my part.  I've already apologized to jimi_c on IRC.  Was very frustrated that day.

For what it's worth, I too am trying to move toward Ansible, but it's hard to get buy-in.

Ah ha.  So for the time being I have to create a separate management class object for every unique declaration of a parameterized class.

At a certain point, doesn't it just make sense to say "Cobbler supports puppet 100% and support for other tools vary" instead of "Cobbler supports configuration management 100%"?  How many people use Cobbler with a config tool that is not Puppet?

I do. I've used Cfengine, Chef, Puppet, and now days I use Ansible.

Please do not cater only to Puppet.

I only say this because I fear we're going in a direction with config management that is no longer intuitive.  How can I help?

The parameters go in the variables section of the mgmt class, not in ksmeta (I will do variable substitutions from ksmeta in the future, but for now it doesn't).

I suspect I am being obtuse here.  I'm trying to use the arusso/vnc module from puppet forge which is declared like this:

class { 'vnc':
    refresh => true,
    servers => [  'user' => 'pete',
                  'args' => '-geometry 1920x1200 -depth 16' ],

    service_ensure => true,
    xstartup_template => 'myclass/xstartup.erb',
}

Via the Web console, I did the following:

--------------------

(1) Created management class "vnc":

**** name: vnc

**** class name: vnc

**** parameters/variables: service_ensure xstartup_template refresh servers

(2) In system object:
**** selected class "vnc"

**** Added yaml to management parameters which was converted to:

{ service_ensure: True, xstartup_template: vnc/xstartup.erb, refresh: True, servers: [{'user': 'pete'}, {'args': '-geometry 1920x1200 -depth 16'}] }

--------------------

However, this is what cobbler-ext-node returns for the system:

~> cobbler-ext-nodes pete.local

classes:

  site: {}

  vnc:

    refresh: '~'

    servers: '~'

    service_ensure: '~'

    xstartup_template: '~'

environment: production

parameters:

  from_cobbler: 1

  refresh: true

  servers:

  - user: pete

  - args: -geometry 1920x1200 -depth 16

  service_ensure: true

  tree: http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/centos-6.4-x86_64

  xstartup_template: vnc/xstartup.erb

I didn't think that this would work the way I did it, but I was hoping the resultant breakage would give me a clue as to how to fix.  No such luck.  I am stumped.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Mahalo in advance.
