Support ONPARENT option for aliases about puppet-network HOT 4 CLOSED

Is this a redhat-centric option? Could you provide an example ifcfg-* file that shows what you would like to be created?

from puppet-network.

I'm not sure if it's redhat specifically, but that's what I'm using.

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:rm

File managed by Puppet

DEVICE=eth0:rm
BOOTPROTO=none
ONPARENT=no
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=THE IP ADDR
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=yes

Useful for when an external program (not the OS) is in charge of managing whether or not the VIP should be up on this particular host.

from puppet-network.

The redhat provider supports the options property which allows you to pass in arbitrary configuration if you need.

network_config { 'eth0:rm'
  method => static,
  address => address,
  netmask => netmask,
  options => {
    'USERCTL' => 'yes',
    'ONPARENT' => 'no',
  }
}

Does this look like it would suit your needs?

from puppet-network.

It would indeed, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
