[chef] RE: Re: Re: bootstrap client passing recipe attributes

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

I also would like to know how to pass attributes to a node in the
bootstrap phase.   If I can figure out how to do this, I could pass the
final IP parameters and hostname via attributes.  

This would be handy for a server that is freshly deployed coming up on a
DHCP assigned address and then prior to running the chef-client cookbook
recipe in the bootstrap command, the host's name and network parameters
could be configured. 

Thanks
  Randy

Hi,

The value is a username in a network server. In some of my recipes I
have to connect to a cvs server I have and checkout some modules. The
attribute would be a username on the cvs server. I am creating recipes
to setup a developer machine, and one of the things I want to do is
checkout all cvs modules that a particular user will need. So, if I am
bootstrapping a chef client on a machine for Adam, and he works on
projects 1, 2, and 3 I would like to check them out on the process,
though I need Adam's username on the cvs server.

And that is the attribute I want to pass.
