[chef] Re: knife ssh issues

This often means that the node name isn't resolvable by DNS.

You can specify an alternate attribute to use as the connection hostname with 'knife ssh -a'

Hi,

I’m trying to use knife ssh to run chef-client on demand on some servers, but it’s failing with this message:

WARNING: Failed to connect to  -- SocketError: getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

The servers are on an AWS VPN to which I connect via VPN. Is this something that’s missing on my part, maybe knife configuration?

Cheers,
