Knife ssh not working

Chef Infra (archive)

hi,

i am getting error for knife ssh command.

FATAL: 1 node found, but does not have the required attribute to establish
the connection. Try setting another attribute to open the connection using
–attribute.

please share the details for knife.rb

thanks,

If your DNS is not fully configured for the node in question, you may need to use “-a ipaddress” in order to connect on that basis. I’ve run into that.

Use the actual string "-a ipaddress" (not substituting the IP address
of the box).

Hi,
what's the output of knife node show ?
it's very likely that fields like FQDN, ip are blank. Have you run
chef-client atleast once on the node(s).? are you running chef-client
with override option.? (chef-client -o "recipe[foo]") . override option
doesn't do node.save.

Regards
Santhosh

Try this:

knife ssh "platform:xenserver" -a ipaddress "ls /tmp"
