## Synopsis

Configure multipath to detect multiple paths to devices for fail-over or performance reasons and coalesces them.

This module implements the following elements:

* __Puppet classes__:
- `multipath`
- `multipath::common`
- `multipath::common::debian`
- `multipath::common::redhat`
- `multipath::params`

* __Puppet definitions__:
- `multipath::blacklist`
- `multipath::device`
- `multipath::path`

All these components are configured through a set of variables you will find in
[`manifests/params.pp`](manifests/params.pp).

_Note_: the various operations that can be conducted from this repository are piloted from a [`Rakefile`](https://github.com/ruby/rake) and assumes you have a running [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) installation.
See `docs/contributing.md` for more details on the steps you shall follow to have this `Rakefile` working properly.

## Dependencies

See [`metadata.json`](metadata.json). In particular, this module depends on

* [puppetlabs/stdlib](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/stdlib)
* [puppetlabs/concat](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/concat)
* [ULHPC/rclocal](https://forge.puppetlabs.com/ULHPC/rclocal)

## Overview and Usage

### Class `multipath`

This is the main class defined in this module.
It accepts the following parameters:

* `$ensure`: default to 'present', can be 'absent'

Use it as follows:

include ' multipath'

### Definition `multipath::blacklist`

The definition `multipath::blacklist` provides ...
This definition accepts the following parameters:

* `$ensure`: default to 'present', can be 'absent'
* `$content`: specify the contents of the directive as a string
* `$source`: copy a file as the content of the directive.

Example:

multipath::blacklist { 'toto':
ensure => 'present',
}

See also [`tests/blacklist.pp`](tests/blacklist.pp)

### Definition `multipath::device`

The definition `multipath::device` provides ...
This definition accepts the following parameters:

* `$ensure`: default to 'present', can be 'absent'
* `$content`: specify the contents of the directive as a string
* `$source`: copy a file as the content of the directive.

Example:

multipath::device { 'toto':
ensure => 'present',
}

See also [`tests/device.pp`](tests/device.pp)

### Definition `multipath::path`

The definition `multipath::path` provides ...
This definition accepts the following parameters:

* `$ensure`: default to 'present', can be 'absent'
* `$content`: specify the contents of the directive as a string

## Librarian-Puppet / R10K Setup

You can of course configure the multipath module in your `Puppetfile` to make it available with [Librarian puppet](http://librarian-puppet.com/) or
[r10k](https://github.com/adrienthebo/r10k) by adding the following entry:

# Modules from the Puppet Forge
mod "ULHPC/multipath"

or, if you prefer to work on the git version:

mod "ULHPC/multipath",
:git => 'https://github.com/ULHPC/puppet-multipath',
:ref => 'production'

## Puppet modules tests within a Vagrant box

The best way to test this module in a non-intrusive way is to rely on [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/).
The `Vagrantfile` at the root of the repository pilot the provisioning various vagrant boxes available on [Vagrant cloud](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort=&provider=virtualbox&q=svarrette) you can use to test this module.

See [`docs/vagrant.md`](vagrant.md) for more details.

## Online Documentation

[Read the Docs](https://readthedocs.org/) aka RTFD hosts documentation for the open source community and the [ULHPC/multipath](https://github.com/ULHPC/puppet-multipath) puppet module has its documentation (see the `docs/` directly) hosted on [readthedocs](http://ulhpc-puppet-multipath.rtfd.org).
