Performance center 3.7 upgrade passwordless SSH

[Lieven Stubbe]

Dear Broadcom experts,

We are in the proces of upgrading PC 3.5 to PC 3.7.3
Apparently, passwordless SSH should run as root to continue the dr_install & dr_validate scripts
In our environment a passwordless SSH configuration is not allowed by the Linux Team, even if it's only temporary, because it's an network security violation.
Following the Vertica community "A workaround is to create a user with passwordless ssh, grant sudo privilege on all nodes, install Vertica, then revoke sudo privilege." 
does there exist a different dr_install script using a different user then root??

Kind regards,

Hello Wade,

Indeed, this is in the 3.7 docu, unfortunately we are upgrading from 3.5 to 3.7.3, so we need to upgrade the DR in 2 steps (3.5->3.6->3.7.2) because our Vertica version is still 8, so any workarounds for Data Repository 3.6?
