In a Chef recipe, I need to perform a reboot on a Node after doing some actions,
and after the reboot is done, I need to continue doing another actions:
Recipe:
-action 1
-action 2
-reboot
-action3
-action4....
I have checked some existing cookbook in the community: reboot-handler, chef-reboot, chef-restart, chef-dominous, but I cannot make any of them work.
Is there some method in Chef to get what I need?
Please provide detailed examples.
Thanks a lot for the help.
How about using chef tags to implement a series of state transitions? This approach can be combined this with reboot-handler cookbook to manage the actual reboots.
Example
default.rb
#
# Action recipes
#
include_recipe "mycookbook::action1"
include_recipe "mycookbook::action2"
#
# State transitions
#
if tagged?("doAction1")
untag("doAction1")
tag("doAction2")
elsif tagged?("doAction2")
untag("doAction2")
end
action1.rb
if tagged?("doAction1")
..
..
end
action2.rb
include_recipe "reboot-handler"
if tagged?("doAction2")
..
..
# Trigger reboot at end of chef run
node.run_state['reboot'] = true
end
This is a recipe of mine you can try.
# Cookbook Name:: reboot-test
# Recipe:: default
bash 'reboot' do
cwd '/tmp'
code <<-EOH
touch reboot.lock
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# echo "/usr/local/bin/chef-client" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local_bkp
echo "/bin/chef-client" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
reboot
EOH
ignore_failure true
not_if do ::File.exists?('/tmp/reboot.lock') end
not_if 'ls -lrth /tmp/reboot.lock'
end
#This is where you need to code for the config automation like the execute #resource but before the bash resource "CHEF-CLIENT-#EXIT"
execute 'touch' do
command '/bin/touch /tmp/suman.test'
end
bash 'chef_client_exit' do
code <<-EOH
rm -rf /tmp/reboot.lock
# sed -i '/\/usr\/local\/bin\/chef-client/d' /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# sed -e '/^\/bin\/chef-client/d' -i /etc/rc.d/rc.local
# sed -e '\|^/bin/chef-client|d' -i /etc/rc.d/rc.local
cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local_bkp /etc/rc.d/rc.local
rm -rf /etc/rc.d/rc.local_bkp
EOH
only_if 'grep -i chef-client /etc/rc.d/rc.local'
end
I have done it using FLAG file method, example given below.
Example of domain join-
Blockquote

powershell_script 'Domain_Join' do
guard_interpreter :powershell_script
code -domainJoin
$currentTime = Get-Date
$currentTimeString = $currentTime.ToString()
$systemDomain = (Get-WmiObject Win32_ComputerSystem).Domain
If (($systemDomain) -eq 'domainName')
{
Try {
write-host "$env:computerName is DOMAIN MEMBER"
Remove-Item C:\\DomainJoinFlag.txt -ErrorAction Stop
Unregister-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Chef client schedule_DJ" -Confirm:$false
} # end of Try
Catch [System.Management.Automation.ItemNotFoundException]
{ write-host "Server is already domain member, Or Exception raised due to either missing FLAG file or Server startup schedule task configuration."
eventcreate /t INFORMATION /ID 0909 /L APPLICATION /SO "ChefClient_$env:computerName" /D "Server is already domain member, Or Exception raised due to either missing FLAG file or Server startup schedule task configuration.

}
else { write-host "$env:computerName is NOT domain member, joining the server to the domain. Server will be rebooting in a while..."
eventcreate /t INFORMATION /ID 0909 /L APPLICATION /SO "ChefClient_$env:computerName" /D "Joining the server : $env:ComputerName to the domain ININLAB.COM (Server Time): $currentTimeString"

write-host "$env:computerName DOMAIN JOIN INITIATED for the server"
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential("domain\\domain_user", (ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force))
Add-Computer -DomainName "domainName" -Credential $cred -OUPath "OU=HyperV,OU=Infrastructure,OU=Servers,DC=domain,DC=name"
shutdown -r -t 120
} #end_of_else
domainJoin
notifies :run, 'windows_task[Chef client schedule_DJ]', :immediately
end
windows_task 'Chef client schedule_DJ' do
user 'SYSTEM'
command 'chef-client -L C:\chef\chef-client_after_reboot_domainJoin.log'
run_level :highest

action :create
only_if { ::File.exist?('C:\\DomainJoinFlag.txt') }
