Environment

• YugabyteDB Anywhere - 2.16.x 

Issue

When installing YBA via replicated, the customer is given the option of overriding the default yugaware directory /opt/yugabyte in the UI.
See example below, which has the custom directory /data/yugabyte



But in YBA UI tab Nodes, under Actions/Connect the connect string displayed to connect from the YBA instance to the db nodes still shows the default path to the pem file.
i.e.

sudo ssh -i /opt/yugabyte/yugaware/data/keys/.....

Resolution

Overview

Simple work around is to create a sym link from /opt to the real yugaware directory.

Steps

1. On the YBA instance create a symlink
i.e.

sudo ln -s <real path> <link>

Example

cd /opt
sudo ln -s /data/yugabyte /opt/yugabyte
