When trying to migrate a VM to another node I get the error, that migration fail because of a RSA mismatch.
I can ssh from the original node to the destination node without any problems.

Any idea, how to fix the problem?


Code:
2017-12-14 18:33:02 # /usr/bin/ssh -e none -o 'BatchMode=yes' -o 'HostKeyAlias=node4' root@**** /bin/true

Looks not that great but all information about your problem is in your post (in the code area).
 
I know what the problem is, I am looking for a solution ;-)

The correct id_rsa.pub is within the authorized keys of the other nodes. SSH-ing to the machine does not throw this error. So I am confused.
 
Problem solved. You have to copy the public key from /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa.pub to the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file of the other nodes.
