[DE79]: Compilation Error in Opencenter Chef Single-Controller Role #488

Closed seancarlisle closed 11 years ago

This resulted from the same session as issue #487. After a second attempt to deploy using Opencenter failed, I instructed the user to blow away the Opencenter server and the Opencenter agent on their nodes. This left a fully functioning chef server that I instructed them to use instead. They changed the controller role from ha-controller1 to single-controller and tried to run chef-client on their controller. This resulted in a "recipe compilation" error. After issue #487 and this, the customer had to wipe and reload their environment.

Hi @seancarlisle

the ha-controller1 role is designed to be used in opencenter in place of the single-controller role. Switching between roles on a server where chef-client has already run will indeed result in recipe compilation issues since certain node values will have been set that are not compatible with the way a different role works. I am going to mark this 'not a bug', since this is inherently not something we can fix

That makes sense, then. Thanks for the quick response!
