Description

The recently changed on-prem system requirements no longer include the “rsync” tool. However, the c4 update cluster command still required it to install the new version of c4.

Workaround

Install “rsync” on the jump host and all the data nodes and before running c4 update cluster

Fix

With this change, c4 update cluster no longer requires “rsync” and uses the other commands that are available on all the systems (“find”, “cp”, and “rm”).
