Update puppet class from Client

Hi all,

This is more a satellite 6 question

Is it possible to add / assign a puppet client to a class on the master from the client ? This is for automation and I can't get it to work.

On an existing client used as a web server I found the following content in

Code:

cat /var/lib/puppet/state/resources.txt

package[httpd]
service[httpd]
file[/etc/httpd/conf.d/aaa-default.conf]
file[/var/www/html/index.html]
file[/etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf]

cat /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt

httpd
settings
httpd

If I add the same content on the client I'd like to be in the same class and rerun

Code:

puppet agent -t

these files are getting overwritten and no httpd rpm will get installed.

Is there a sollution to this or is it even possible with hammer from the client site ?

I already logged a support call with redhat but didn't get an answer yet ?????

Thanks for any help

PUPPET-PLUGIN(8)						   Puppet manual						  PUPPET-PLUGIN(8)

NAME

       puppet-plugin - Interact with the Puppet plugin system.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet plugin action

DESCRIPTION

       This subcommand provides network access to the puppet master's store of plugins.

       The  puppet  master  serves Ruby code collected from the lib directories of its modules. These plugins can be used on agent nodes to extend
       Facter and implement custom types and providers. Plugins are normally downloaded by puppet agent during the course of a run.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may  not	be
       relevant  to  the  present  action.  For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify --server <servername> as an
       argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
       parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.

       --mode MODE
	      The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.

       --render-as FORMAT
	      The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot
	      are sometimes available.

       --verbose
	      Whether to log verbosely.

       --debug
	      Whether to log debug information.

ACTIONS

       download - Download plugins from the puppet master.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet plugin download

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Downloads plugins from the configured puppet master. Any plugins downloaded in this way will be used in all subsequent Puppet activ-
	      ity. This action modifies files on disk.

	      RETURNS

	      A list of the files downloaded, or a confirmation that no files were downloaded. When used from the Ruby API, this action returns an
	      array of the files downloaded, which will be empty if none were retrieved.

EXAMPLES

       download

       Retrieve plugins from the puppet master:

       $ puppet plugin download

       Retrieve plugins from the puppet master (API example):

       $ Puppet::Face[:plugin, '0.0.1'].download
