[chef] Re: Cookbook Template: Populating MAC address in ifcfg

[Mike < >]

You could try passing the keys to .first - that will select the first element in the array and return a string.

Like so:

HWADDR=<%= node[:network][:interfaces][:eth1][:addresses].keys.first %>

But I don't think this is exactly right, since there may be multiple entries in the array.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

I'm trying to set up an ifcfg file using a template.

HWADDR=<%= node[:network][:interfaces][:eth1][:addresses].keys %>

The MAC address populates the file but the entry is surrounded by brackets like
below.

HWADDR=["00:00:00:00:00:00"]

How can I get to - HWADDR=00:00:00:00:00:00

or is there a more efficent way to build the file?

Thanks for the help.
