4.11.31. HOWTO Use an Alternate ‘simp config’ Environment¶
Generally, when running the simp config
and simp bootstrap
commands, all
items will be placed into the production
Puppet Environment and
SIMP Secondary Environment.
If you are installing SIMP onto a preexisting system, you may want to instead
install into an environment other than production
.
As of simp-cli
version 6.0.0 (new with SIMP 6.5), you can configure
the simp config
and simp bootstrap
commands to use an
alternate initial environment by setting the shell environment
variable, $SIMP_ENVIRONMENT
.
For example, if you wanted to name your initial environment simp
, then you
would do the following:
export SIMP_ENVIRONMENT='simp' simp config ... simp bootstrap
See Advanced Configuration for more information on simp config
