Have you tried to connect by both FQDN and IP?

I had this problem early this week - was an issue with the storage.....initially thought it was the FC mezz card of the blade but ended up being the SAN.

What troubleshooting steps have you perfomed so far?

Have you presented storage to this host?

[ram84]

What happens when you are sitting at the console and trying to log in as root?

HI i am able to login through console and userid root

So so your trying to log in the server via ssh with the root account. Is this correct? If it is root access by default, disabled. The best thing you can do is to create another account to connect with and then use "su -" to change to root
