Puppet Error Failure during provision command during the puppet agent run on replica 2 Failed to generate additional resources using eval generate Error 500 on SERVER Server Error

Question

Failure during provision command during the puppet agent run on replica 2: 
Failed to generate additional resources using 'eval_generate': Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: 
Not authorized to call search on /file_metadata/pe_modules with {:rest=>"pe_modules", :links=>"manage", :recurse=>true, :source_permissions=>"ignore", :checksum_type=>"md5"} Source: /Stage[main]/Puppet_enterprise::Profile::Primary_master_replica/File[/opt/puppetlabs/server/share/installer/modules]File: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/puppet_enterprise/manifests/profile/primary_master_replica.ppLine: 64

While provisioning replica to serve as backup I am geting this error. How do i resolve it?

Answer 1

• The provision command triggers an error if you try to provision a replica node that's connected to a compiler. 

• The error that you have got is similar to the error that the provision command triggers.

In order to resolve this:

• On the replica you want to provision, edit /etc/puppetlabs/puppet.conf so that the server and server_list settings use a master, rather than a compiler.

This should help!
