Distribute ed25519 ssh key error during installation

[rfcarter]

I get the following when doing a single node install:

FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'file'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleFileNotFound'>, original message: the file_name '/opt/ssh/id_ed25519.pub' does not exist, or is not readable"}

This may occur when the path /opt/emc/ecs-install/ssh does not exist on the host. Does that path exist?

This issue is closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if we can be of further assistance. Thank you.

I'm also facing same error. Did anyone get the resolution?

Are you using an older OVA? This is a known issue with the previous OVAs and was resolved in a recent (#238) issue and corresponding pull request.

If not, then please try these steps:

1. Double-check your deploy.yml. Make sure the install_node: field has the current IP address of the install node. If you're building for an Island deployment, you'll need to change this once you migrate the install node into your island.
2. If you are not on the current release of the install node (2.2.1), please rebuild your install node using the 2.2.1 release.
3. If neither of those solutions work for your situation, please let us know.

I did a fresh clone and I get the following:

Did you rebuild the install node? If not, please do so. This error is consistent with resolved bugs, but requires a new install node.

[rfcarter]

I will rebuild the server. I am doing a single server install.  Thanks

I rebuilt the install node. The first error was this:

ecs-install> Initializing data container, one moment ... OK
ecs-install> Applying deploy.yml

I ssh to the data node to get rise of the message to add to know host.
I restart step1 and I get the following:

Please run the following command and paste the output here:

ecsdeploy -vvv load

[psprahlad]

I am not using OVA, I am using CentOS 7.3. Yes system current IP is mentioned in the deploy file.
Well error related to file doesn't exist- '/opt/ssh/id_ed25519.pub goes away when I executed "island-step1" script. Thanks all

[padthaitofuhot]

Yes, and it will. The file that was missing is created during island-step1 and step1. One of these steps must be taken before running a higher-numbered step.
