I am running this function through chef recipe to create a paging file.
This will check if the paging file is present else will create a paging
file in p:\
def CreatingPagingFileP?
if defined?(node[:WinTest][:CurrentInitialPagingFileSizeMBP]) &&
(node[:WinTest][:CurrentInitialPagingFileSizeMBP] != ‘’)
puts "paging file is already present. Nothing to set"
else
puts "Need to create the paging file"
cmd=Mixlib::ShellOut.new(‘wmic pagefileset create
name=“p:\pagefile.sys”’)
cmd.run_command
puts cmd.stdout
check_for_errors(cmd.stderr)
puts “max=#{node[:WinTest][:PagingFileSizeMBP]}”
com=Mixlib::ShellOut.new('wmic pagefileset where
SettingID=“pagefile.sys @ p:” set InitialSize=2048,MaximumSize=%max%’)
com.run_command
puts com.stdout
check_for_errors(com.stderr)
end
I would like to parametrize InitialSize and MaximumSize, so that they can
be set to values from attribute file.
I tried setting MaximumSize with options like
#{node[:WinTest][:PagingFileSizeMBP]}, %max%, max but nothing is working.
Can anyone help me in setting these values through a variable.
you;ll need to define two attributes for two of those value. convert the
mixlib::shellout call to an execute resource.
if node,attribute?(attr1) and node['attr1'].attribute?(attr2)
command = "something #{node[attr1][max]} and #{node[attr1][min]}"
execute command do
action :run
end
end

Now I am trying to set the initilalSize and MaximumSize through a batch
resource like
batch "SetPageFileSize" do
code <<-EOH
wmic pagefileset where SettingID="pagefile.sys @ p:" set
InitialSize=#{node[:WinTest][:PagingFileSizeMBP]},MaximumSize=#{node[:WinTest][:PagingFileSizeMBP]}')
EOH
end
end
still getting the error of type mismatch, through the values of InitialSize
and MaximumSize are correct
C:>wmic pagefileset where SettingID="pagefile.sys @ p:" set
InitialSize=3072.0,
MaximumSize=3072.0')
Updating property(s) of '\OCIDEVOPS\ROOT\CIMV2:Win32_PageFileSetting.Name
="p:\pagefile.sys"'
STDERR: ERROR:
