[chef] Re: How to search node info in the chef server

[Ranjib Dey < >]

chef saves a two computed attributes, aka recipes and roles as part of run list expansion. so, you want to search against 'roles:foo' (plural). 

also some thing in your recipes sets an attribute (may be nested) 'role' , which might explains the first hit.

something like:

node[:a][:role] = 1,

Hi,

I want to get a node list with role[os-controller] in it's run list, so I tried "knife search" command at my chef server CML however I got a weird result as follow:
~]# knife search node role:os-controller
2 items found

Node Name:   centos-10-145-88-153
Environment: _default

IP:          10.145.88.153

In my understanding, chef server should only return one node info with role[os-controller] (here is centos-10-145-88-152), but it return two nodes. I have no idea how to figure it out.

If someone can point it out, it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
