Can't SSH into VIO-Controller-0

[figinhole]

Hi, I'm trying to ssh into VIO-Controller01 VM but can't!

First, when I try to ssh via putty it was throwing an error:

Disconnected : No supported authentication methods available

Did some research online and found out this KB article from VMware website..

These steps are for VMs in vCloud Air but it worked for me as I got in to the VM from console

1. Log into the Ubuntu virtual machine in the vCloud Air Portal.
2. Open /etc/ssh/sshd_config with a text editor.
3. Locate the line Password Authentication and change No to Yes.
4. Locate and change the line Challenge Response Authentication from No to Yes
5. Save the file.
6. Restart the SSH Service by using the command, service ssh restart You should be able to open a SSH connection to the virtual machine.

now its not taking the password for viouser account.

I have also tried to login as admin and root ..but no luck! Any suggestions?

Hi,

SSH using password is disabled for all nodes except management server. to login to controller or any other VIO node, you need to first login as viouser to management server, and then use ssh to login to the node (also as viouser)

You can login to nodes using vSphere remote console, with root/vmware.

Best Regards,

Can you try this:

- login to OMS server

- ssh controller01

see if that works...
