Hi Chefs,
I am iterating through a list of hostnames and creating VMs on Rackspace
Cloud using:
knife rackspace server create -I 121 --flavor 4 -r
’role[base-yum],role[hdp-base],recipe[annoyances]’ --server-name $i
–node-name $i -d chef-full -VV
I background each iteration of that so that all the server creates are
running in the background.
I usually do this for about 7 nodes.
Seemingly randomly, for one to a few of the nodes, knife will not be able
to login over ssh.
Here is what that looks like:
DEBUG: allowed methods: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
DEBUG: trying publickey (b4:cd:b6:b8:56:7c:9e:85:ba:27:b6:fb:72:ac:5a:2a)
DEBUG: queueing packet nr 6 type 50 len 348
DEBUG: sent 372 bytes
DEBUG: read 84 bytes
DEBUG: received packet nr 6 type 51 len 60
DEBUG: allowed methods: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
DEBUG: trying password
DEBUG: queueing packet nr 7 type 50 len 76
DEBUG: sent 100 bytes
DEBUG: read 84 bytes
DEBUG: received packet nr 7 type 51 len 60
DEBUG: allowed methods: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
DEBUG: password failed
ERROR: all authorization methods failed (tried publickey, password)
Then the bootstrap stops for that node, of course.
I can immediately login to that node successfully with root and the
password that returns for “knife rackspace server create”.
Here is a gist for the complete bootstrap for one of those nodes:
Here is the output that should occur, from a successful bootstrap:
DEBUG: allowed methods: publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password
DEBUG: trying password
DEBUG: queueing packet nr 7 type 50 len 76
DEBUG: sent 100 bytes
DEBUG: read 36 bytes
DEBUG: received packet nr 7 type 52 len 12
DEBUG: password succeeded
Can anyone tell me what’s going wrong with these?
Thanks!
