Is there a way to pass a parameter to the node when doing a knife
bbootstrap? I want to be able to pass the fqdn hostname to the host
and change the hostname prior to the chef-client cookbook configures the
chef-client.
If I use -N or --node-name with knife bootstrap, I am not sure how I can
pass that to Chef-Solo so that it can change the hostname prior to
running the chef-client cookbook.
knife bootstrap 192.168.1.50 -r
’recipe[hostname::change],recipe[chef-client],recipe[chef-client::delete
_validation],role[Base]’ --distro my-bootstrap -x user --sudo -V
variable=myhost.myco.com
I think this has been mentioned here before, but I cannot find it…
Thanks
Randy
