I'm afraid no. As you mentioned the openstacklib::db::mysql defined type includes the mysql::server, which triggers installation and configuration of mysql. This is basically because the implementation uses some resources like mysql_user imported from puppetlabs-mysql and these resources are designed to work in the node where mysql is deployed by mysql::server. (Especially the ~/.my.cnf file created). Technically speaking you can remove that include as long as you can prepare all of the required resources with these resources but that'd be quite tricky.

Hey openstack-discuss,

is there any intended way of using e.g cinder::db::mysql (which is using puppet-openstacklib) to create databases, but not also run / include mysql::server which apparently happens at

https://github.com/openstack/puppet-openstacklib/blob/33fb90326fadd59759d4a6... ?

In short I already have a running database server and only want the databases to be created.

Thanks,

Christian
