Via foreman-console, you'd also ensure any references get updated. I would not
recommend doing any updates updating the db rows directly.
Also Puppetclasses in Foreman just have one attribute, 'name', no inheritance
or anything like that. You will have to update classes that look like apache
to legacy_apache.
For example, through the console:
Puppetclass.search_for("apache").each do |puppetclass|
new_name = puppetclass.name.sub('apache', 'legacy_apache')
puppetclass.update_attributes(:name => new_name)
end
Obviously test in a sandbox first, but I was able to rename the class in the
same way. I imagine the reason you want to do this is to preserve your
overrides,
correct?
