topic Query: Can no longer ssh into iLO in ProLiant Servers (ML,DL,SL)

Can no longer ssh into iLO

Afelis — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 10:36:53 GMT

Hi,

I am having trouble connecting to iLO 4's command line on a ProLiant DL560 Gen9 server.

After successfully connecting to the iLO's command line through SSH a few times, it suddenly stopped working and since then all connection attempts end up with a timeout on port 22.

The iLO's ip is rechable by ping, and the browser interface is still accessible; Under Access settings I made sure that ssh is enabled on port 22.

I have tried checking the documentation and found the following:

The iLO firmware can support simultaneous access from five SSH clients.

HPE iLO 4 Scripting and Command Line Guide

My guess is that my previous connections are still open, preventing access. How can I check if that is actually the case and close those connections?

System recommended content:

1. HPE iLO 5 3.06 User Guide | iLO login with an SSH client

2. HPE iLO 6 1.61 User Guide | iLO login with an SSH client

Hi @Afelis ,
You can view the active sessions in main page of "Overview' tab.

You can disable and re-enable the SSH sessions as follows-

Hi @shiva_jr,

the solution you proposed solved my issue (and is definitely faster than rebooting the iLO).

Thank you for your help!
