how to make changes to the network configuration without connection errors?

[Peter Bauer]

hi,

i am very happy with a network configuration module so far, but there is one thing left i can not find a solution for:

if i change the network configuration e.g. from a single interface to a bonding interface using puppet (basically if-down and if-ups), the next steps in the run of the agent fail due to connection errors but then the agent seems to reconnect again during the run and is able to send the report (of course containing the errors) to the master.

Is there some way to avoid those errors (maybe by waiting for the interface to be up)?

Can somebody please elaborate more on the connection handling of the agent:

- does it keep a TCP connection and reconnect on errors only and just for the following steps?

thx,

Peter

if somebody else will face the problem:

i made an exec with a bash one-liner to ping the $serverip until it works or the timeout occurrs (refreshonly => true).
Additionally i put the network configuration class in a separate stage and let it notify the class with the exec which is in the same stage.

g,
Peter

Ah, got it. Handling bonded interfaces with Puppet is quite tricky, but I like your solution!
