I have created a new Virtual instance on AWS, but can not access through ssh Error message server refused connection
To verify the Access-Key, created anew instance and and able to ssh without any issue.

Console log for both instances are as under...

Amazon AMI did created the ssh-rsa finger prints, but Nagios AMI did not create any ssh-rsa finger prints. Its installation fail.

We have a current bug into our developers for this. It seems that upon install epel is forcing https, but those do not respond. Mounting the drive on another instance, correcting /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo to use http only, then restarting with the drive correctly attached will properly get your ssh keys once the XI install finishes.
