Hi,
I am a newbie for chef. Is there any way to disable one cookbook or role on one
node?
For example:
DBA want to disable role – mysql on one node to do maintenance, but other
cookbooks or roles are still functional through chef-client.
using provider, I can check local file content before do any actions, but don’t
know how to disable a role or cookbook on chef-client side.
Appreciate for any helps.
Bill
You can probably run knife node edit $nodename and disable that cookbook/role temporarily. Once you are completed with your maintenance, add the role/cookbook back via knife node edit

Hi, Nikhil,
Thanks for your reply. what I want is:check a file on local FS of node, if string is disabled, role or cookbook will not functional for this node only when chef-client running.
I can do your suggestions on chef server, but my customers want to control it by themselves.

That's totally possible, you'd just have to create a recipe that does that
for you.

Bill,

Bill,
An attributes can be specific to a node. You can use the UI to change to node attributes or you
can use knife[1]. I believe you can also use tags for similar purpose.
