Errors when running puppet on servers with "sh: vdsmdummy: command not found"

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Doing ifconfig against ;vdsmdummy;' shows you the following result.

# ifconfig ';vdsmdummy;'
;vdsmdummy; Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 5E:45:9A:F4:B5:27
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

After that, puppet starts complaining as below

# puppet agent -t
