Error in vbr copycluster

AndreAlmeida

Hi @ll

I follow the steps in https://www.vertica.com/docs/9.2.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/AdministratorsGuide/BackupRestore/CopyingTheDatabaseToAnotherCluster.htm to do a simple test and I got this message:

dbadmin@srvvert02:~$ vbr -t copycluster -c copycluster.ini
Error: Worker process exited with error: Permission denied (publickey,password).

Copycluster FAILED.
dbadmin@srvvert02:~$

Is a very simple envirionment, two single nodes servers for test propouse

My copycluster.ini is here

dbadmin@srvvert02:~$ cat copycluster.ini
[Misc]
snapshotName = Copydb001
restorePointLimit = 5
tempDir = /tmp/vbr
retryCount = 5
retryDelay = 1

[Database]
dbName = db001
dbUser = dbadmin
dbPassword = vertica
dbPromptForPassword = False

[Transmission]
encrypt = False
checksum = False
port_rsync = 50000

[Mapping]
; backupDir is not used for cluster copy
v_db001_node0001 = 172.16.113.150

And a SSH passwordless is working

dbadmin@srvvert02:~$ ssh dbadmin@172.16.113.150

Thank you!

@AndreAlmeida Can you retry the operation with more verbose logging by adding "--debug 3" to the copycluster command line and paste the last few lines around the failure from the vbr log? The vbr log will be present in /tmp/vbr
