To clarify, I never managed to get the --no-rsync versions working. Ultimately I managed to hack around this by symlinking the eucalyptus user's id_rsa into root's .ssh/ dir and re-running "sudo euca_conf --discover-nodes".
** Description changed: I have just installed two systems using karmic over PXEboot. Both were given the anna/choose_modules=eucalyptus-udeb boot option. The Node Controller box was given the preseed config line: - d-i eucalyptus/install-mode string Node + d-i eucalyptus/install-mode string Node The Cluster Controller box was given: - d-i eucalyptus/install-mode string Cluster + d-i eucalyptus/install-mode string Cluster As well as appropriate settings for eucalyptus/cluster-name, eucalyptus/publicips, and eucalyptus/private-interface. After boot, I followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/NodeInstallation to use ssh-copy- id to get the eucalyptus pubkey from the CC to the NC. I then tried the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall to autodiscover nodes with: - sudo euca_conf --no-rsync --discover-nodes + sudo euca_conf --no-rsync --discover-nodes My NC was found, and I accepted the prompt to proceed to add it. The scp failed, because root does not have the eucalyptus user's key. I then tried: - sudo -u eucalyptus euca_conf --no-rsync --discover-nodes + sudo -u eucalyptus euca_conf --discover-nodes And this succeeded in copying keys around, but failed when it tried to edit /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf because that is owned by root. This seems to be a fairly grave problem in either the instructions or the euca_conf program. At the moment, though, I'd appreciate a helpful workaround.
