hiera and puppet environments ( directory)

[Helen Paterson]

Hi,

I'm trying to set-up puppet environment so that our ymal files can usernames and passwords for Production and test ( dq), modules will be the same. I have run through the documentation but am getting the following error:

client error

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could
not find data item classes in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /e
tc/puppet/environments/dq/manifests/windows-servers.pp:54 on node hp-test2008r2.

debug from master

Cannot find datafile /var/lib/hiera/

I don't understand why puppet is looking in  /var/lib/hiera/.  before setting up environments hiera was working and looking at /etc/puppethiera.yaml but default

hiera.yaml 

:datadir: '/etc/puppet/environments/%{::environment}/hieradata'

If this is what you have/had in your yaml file, you've probably realized this is not a valid Windows path, which is necessary for the yaml files on the Windows clients.

Hi Rob ,

On the puppet agent node, when I try to install ssh packages it is failing with "Error 400 on SERVER: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call,
Could not find data item ssh_packages in any Hiera data file" error.
puppet agent -t works fine when modules does not contain hiera look ups. The issue seems hiera looksups is not working for puppet client/agent node.

However hiera lookups and ssh_packages working fine on master node when I use puppet apply -e 'include openssh:sshclient' module

Both puppet master and puppet client are using
# puppet --version
3.8.0 (Puppet Enterprise 3.8.0),

# hiera -v
1.3.4

On master node:
_______________

[root@pupmaster manifests]# puppet apply -e 'include openssh::sshclient'

Is there anything I am missing here /any thing I need to enable to make puppet agent to work fine with hiera.

Thanks,

[Rob Reynolds]

What do you get when you run facter operatingsystem and facter osfamily on pupclient2?

 

Thanks,

I don't understand why puppet is looking in  /var/lib/hiera/.  before setting up environments hiera was working and looking at /etc/puppethiera.yaml but default

hiera.yaml

What version of Puppet?

 

hiera.yaml 

:datadir: '/etc/puppet/environments/%{::environment}/hieradata'

If this is what you have/had in your yaml file, you've probably realized this is not a valid Windows path, which is necessary for the yaml files on the Windows clients.

This may not be correct - Hiera evaluates wherever the catalog is compiled I believe.
