Subject: Puppet RubyIO.java error
======================================================================
The following is a letter to a friend on a Puppet issue.

Friend,

Swapping some insomnia for Puppet skills, I hit an error that google didn't solve.  It seems "RubyIO.java" errors can occur on the client when the file (i.e. /downloads/rdbms_1201.dbt.erb) needs to live on the Puppet Master--hope this helps.

Regards,

Jim

PROBLEM:

On the puppet client/target:

#root$ puppet agent -t

Notice: Local environment: 'production' doesn't match server specified node environment 'orardbms', switching agent to 'orardbms'.

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

#root$ ls -l /downloads/rdbms_12102.dbt.erb

SOLUTION:

The biemond module is trying to read "/downloads" on the master, not the client where that last "ls -l  /downloads/rdbms_12102.dbt.erb" is being executed.  Create the template on the Puppet master, then run "puppet agent -t" again on the client.

This is the call to biemond's code:

     oradb::database{ 'testDb_Create':

     oracle_base               => '/u01/app/oracle',

     oracle_home               => '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/db_1',

     version                   => '12.1',

     user                      => 'oracle',

     group                     => 'dba',

 #    template                  => 'dbtemplate_12.1', # this will use dbtemplate_12.1.dbt.erb example template

     template                  => 'dbtemplate_12.1.0.2',

     download_dir              => '/u01/app/install',  # This path is on the MASTER!!!

     action                    => 'create',

     db_name                   => 'test1',

     db_domain                 => 'members.linode.com',

     db_port                   => 1521,

     sys_password              => 'Welcome01',

     system_password           => 'Welcome01',

     data_file_destination     => '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/data01',

     recovery_area_destination => '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/fra01',

     character_set             => 'AL32UTF8',

     nationalcharacter_set     => 'UTF8',

                          File['/u01/app/install/dbtemplate_12.1.0.2.dbt.erb'], ],

   }
