Hi David

That’s what shows empty.
I had specified the roles in run list of the node and I see it empty with the command you suggested. Do I need to update the role against another attribute?

Thanks

I believe you want knife node show -a roles (lower case and plural)

The funny thing is even after executing chef-client on the server; still its
node shows empty role.

Can someone please suggest if I am missing anything.

The roles attribute is only updated after a successful Chef Client run
as it reflects the current state of the node. Did you run Chef between
commands one and two?

Also, I believe you just need "knife node show xxxx -a roles" - don't
need the 'role[mongodb]' in there.

Hi Julian

Yes, I did execute the client run on the respective node. The output is after the successful execution of command.

'role[mongodb]' is the output of command.

Aniket
