is nodes.pp a default file?

[Hai Tao]

Hi,

is nodes.pp a default file,like sites.pp, or I have to import it in puppet.conf?

I cannot find a paramater in "puppetmasterd genconfig | grep nodes.pp", can someone advice?

Thanks.

you can put this in the main section of your puppet.conf file

[main]
manifestdir = /home/puppet/manifests

that looks for your site.pp in that directory

you also can specify this in your puppet.conf for each environment.

manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp

then in site.pp you do something like this

import 'definitions'
import 'modules'
import 'templates'
import 'nodes'
import 'classes/*'

import looks for .pp files so definitions.pp modules.pp etc

does that help?

The introductory docs cover this sort of thing.
Have a look here. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/

If you use a nodes.pp file then you have to import it manually.  Typically, that takes the form of

import 'nodes.pp'

at the top of your main manifest (normally site.pp).  That is one of very few appropriate uses of the 'import' function, in fact.
