Well, not really. Jeremy's script is pretty close to the thing I need.

There are some issues with Fauxhai aproach, since all nodes have similar attributes.

I need diverse nodes, various CPU, memory, network and disk configurations,

cloud and physical, etc, so I could test the script I'm building.

I've thought that Ohai specs will have what I need, but no luck there also.

Also, I hoped that there would be some example Chef server running online with nodes entered,

but couldn't find anything.

I believe this may be an example ChefSpec droid you're looking for.
