Using crude ascii art, here is what I have set up so far in my lab…
[Foreman/Puppet Grand Master] <-- foreman-proxy here

V
[Puppet Remote Master] <-- foreman-proxy running
here.

[Simulated Remote Client]
The Foreman/Puppet Grand Master seem to be working swimmingly so far. The
Remote Master is getting its directions from the Grand Master. So far so
good.
Add the client and things start getting sideways. When I run the Puppet
agent on the remote client I get an error such that:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Failed when searching for node mtanjvspptc01.nvp.cip.att.com: Failed to
find FQDN via exec: Execution of '/etc/puppet/node.rb FQDN' returned 1:
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
I went over to the Grand Master and ran the /etc/puppet/node.rb from the
command line and it complains that it cannot find the yaml file in its
proper place. OK so I went over to the remote master and sure enough it
was there.
Needless to say Foreman has no idea the host is there.
What's the right electric acid Kool Aid foo to make this work correctly. I
would seem the YAML file needs to be on the Grand Master and not the remote
master… or does it? Is there a way the foreman-proxy can help here?
