How to change ip address of node after added to chef-server

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hello,

Let me ask about how to change ip address of node after added to chef-server.

target sever has some ip address like this.
eth0 : 192.168.10.1
eth1: 192.168.20.1
eth2: 192.168.30.1

I run bootstrap from chef workstation to the target server. workstation has 192.168.10.100.

knife bootstrap 192.168.10.1 -N node-4 -E poc -x root -d centos6

and then completed to install chef-client, registered to chef-server.
chef-serrver has 192.168.10.200

So all (workstation / chef-server / target-server) is in 192.168.10.x

But the ip address registered to chef-server is 192.168.20.1. Why?
How can I change the ip address to 192.168.10.1?

knife node show node-4

The ipaddress is an automatic attributehttp://docs.opscode.com/ohai.html#automatic-attributes detected by ohai. It defaults to the default route. All attributes collected by Ohai are unmodifiable by the chef-client.

So, the short answer is: you can’t (unless you change the default route…but that will probably break something)

Not to say you "can't", you just need to determine why ohai is setting
it the way it is and possibly replace the offending behavior. You
could add a new ohai plugin to modify the behavior, or potentially
submit a patch if it's a bug in ohai.

Maybe instead of relying on node[:ipaddress] you can rely on
node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses] hash. It has all the network
info you may need. To get the IPv4 address you need to check for value of
"family":

node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses].each do |addr|
if addr[:family] == "inet"
return addr # not sure if this var contains actual value..
end
end

Here's relevant section from ohai output:

"network": {
"interfaces": {
"eth0": {
"type": "eth",
"number": "0",
"mtu": "1500",
"flags": [
"BROADCAST",
"MULTICAST",

This problem has been bothering me too.

I fixed it in my case by changing the default IP route to eth1 rather than
eth0. In ubuntu, the command was:

sudo ip route change to default dev eth1 via [gateway ip]

I hoped I might do this in a recipe using the route resource, but:

route "default" do
device "eth1"
end

Didn't recognize "default" as a valid address. Having looked at the doc
http://docs.opscode.com/resource_route.html and code
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/route.rb it
looks like the route resource only supports specific IP addresses.

Default route is the same with 0.0.0.0, you could try it instead.

I gave it a go and I can add a route for 0.0.0.0 but unfortunately it
doesnt result in ohai picking up the eth1 address, because I've still got a
default route for eth0. Seems like 0.0.0.0 isn't quite the same as default
in this respect.

Subject: [chef] how to change ip address of node after added to
chef-server.

Hello,

Let me ask about how to change ip address of node after added to
chef-server.

target sever has some ip address like this.

eth0 : 192.168.10.1

eth1: 192.168.20.1

eth2: 192.168.30.1

I run bootstrap from chef workstation to the target server.
workstation has
192.168.10.100.

knife bootstrap 192.168.10.1 -N node-4 -E poc -x root -d centos6

and then completed to install chef-client, registered to chef-server.

chef-serrver has 192.168.10.200

So all (workstation / chef-server / target-server) is in 192.168.10.x

But the ip address registered to chef-server is 192.168.20.1. Why?

How can I change the ip address to 192.168.10.1?

knife node show node-4

Node Name: node-4

Environment: poc

FQDN: node-4

IP: 192.168.20.1

Run List:

Roles:

Recipes:

Platform: centos 6.5

Tags:

I already use edit command, but there is not ip address.

and also “-a” option, but I’m not sure which part should I modify.

knife node edit node-4

{

"name": "node-4",

"chef_environment": "poc",

"normal": {

"tags": [



]

},

"run_list": [

]

}

Thank you.

Hmm. I got that, I don't how Ohai plug-in works. But the route resource
defaults mask to /24 and it is of course not the same, cuz the default
route mask is /0.

I gave it a go and I can add a route for 0.0.0.0 but unfortunately it
doesnt result in ohai picking up the eth1 address, because I've still got a
default route for eth0. Seems like 0.0.0.0 isn't quite the same as default
in this respect.

Default route is the same with 0.0.0.0, you could try it instead.

This problem has been bothering me too.

I fixed it in my case by changing the default IP route to eth1 rather
than eth0. In ubuntu, the command was:

sudo ip route change to default dev eth1 via [gateway ip]

I hoped I might do this in a recipe using the route resource, but:

route "default" do
device "eth1"
end

Didn't recognize "default" as a valid address. Having looked at the doc
http://docs.opscode.com/resource_route.html and code
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/route.rb
it looks like the route resource only supports specific IP addresses.

Hello

Understood. It’s very helpful hint.
I will check the ohai output again and also custom plugin.

Thank you.

Maybe instead of relying on node[:ipaddress] you can rely on
node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses] hash. It has all the network
info you may need. To get the IPv4 address you need to check for value of
"family":

node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses].each do |addr|
if addr[:family] == "inet"
return addr # not sure if this var contains actual value..
end
end

Here's relevant section from ohai output:
