OMNI Environment Already Exists Error

This FAQ covers what to do when running simp config outputs an "Unable to configure: Invalid SIMP omni-environment for 'production' exists" error

If installing SIMP on a system that has a pre-existing production :term:`Puppet Environment`, you may encounter the following error when running simp config:

Unabled to configure: Invalid SIMP omni-environment for 'production' exists:
  >> Puppet environment 'production' exists
  >> Secondary environment 'production' does not exist

or (depending on the version):

Unable to configure: Invalid SIMP omni-environment for 'production' exists:
  >> Puppet environment 'production' exists
  >> Secondary environment 'production' does not exist

Resolution Options

A New Start

If you want to have a completely clean start, then just rename the production directory (/var/simp/environments/production) to production.bak and re-run simp config and simp bootstrap.

A Different Environment

If you want to keep your existing production environment, you can use an alternate environment during your initial configuration of the system.

To do this, see :ref:`howto-use-an-alternate-simp-config-environment`.

Remember to assign nodes to this environment using your :term:`ENC` of choice.

For a simple inbuilt solution, see :ref:`howto-simp-enc`.

Puppet Enterprise Users

If you are using Puppet Enterprise, we recommend you use a control repo. See the section on :ref:`howto-setup-a-simp-control-repository`.
