Misleading error message when openvdc console fails

[Metallion]

Problem

When piping a command to openvdc console and said command fails, the error message reads: Failed to ssh to <ip address>. This would have you believe that the SSH connection failed while in reality that succeeded and it was the command afterwards that failed.

bash-4.2$ echo xxxx | openvdc console i-0000000017
/bin/bash: line 1: xxxx: command not found
FATA[0000] Failed ssh to 172.16.3.10:31195       error="Process exited with status 127"

Solution

Display different error messages for when the SSH connection failed and for when the command afterwards failed.
