SSH and SCP commands stucked in "FIPS initializing" when launched from ESXi 6.7 CLI

Hi team,

Here again with the following issue:

In ESXi i had always been able to transfer files using scp between servers.

Now, after upgrade to ESXi 6.7, i'm not able to start any SSH/SCP session from ESXi6.7, while i still can connect to ver.6.7 from 6.5.

I will upgrade the second server to 6.7 version today, but if this has no fix it means i will not be able to use SSH anymore between them!!

This is what i'm seeing:

[root@ESXi6.7:~] scp ./vmfs/volumes/datastore1/Dir1/*.* root@192.168.0.112:/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/

FIPS mode initialized

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.112 port 22: Connection timed out

Please help!!

There is no reason this cannot work in 6.7!!

Cristian
