I am able to ssh and ping ChefNode2 I am stuck with bootstraping node using the below command:

Knife bootstrap chefnodeipaddress -x root -N ChefNode2 

Error looks like this:

Failed to authenticate to the chef server (http 401). Server Response: Failed to authenticate as 'chef-validator'. Ensure that your node_name and client key are correct.

I think there is only one problem, you need to provide the password of the Chef Client while bootstraping the node. Kindly use the below command:

knife bootstrap chefnodeipaddress -x root -P PASSWORD --node-name ChefNode2

Try giving the password to access your node, something like this

$ knife bootstrap chefnodeipaddress -x root -P PASSWORD --node-name ChefNode2
