Re-import worker in the cluster

Hi guys, I am having trouble re-importing a worker in my cluster.
My worker1 stopped being recognised at some point so i reinstalled the image on the SD card and now i am trying to add it to the cluster.
It seems to be added in the inventory but the air_bibbler plugin is not working. I am trying to ssh into worker1, but i get this message:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ED25519 key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:yXxJfG2Iijy1LNCTWDOzL4LKJWbV/+YMms0XfFU5jeo.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in C:\Users\LabEquipment/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ECDSA key in C:\Users\LabEquipment/.ssh/known_hosts:9
Host key for worker1.local has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

I feel stupid for asking this but i have tried several times and i am sure i use “raspberry” as password with no spelling mistakes… what could be the problem?

Ah sorry this is an annoying fact of SSH. It has nothing to do with your password. It’s purely a security feature, but looks more scary than it is.

  1. Open up the file C:\Users\LabEquipment/.ssh/known_hosts with a text editor.
  2. Delete the line(s) that starts with worker1.local.
  3. Save and try again.

Amazing! Indeed it worked :slight_smile:

Thank you!
