Impossible to add ssh key to OA.

[Marc Campos]

Hi,
I can't add a ssh key to a BladeSystem7000c chassis.

I known there are several posts about this problem but none solves my issue.

I try to:

# ssh Administrator@Blade7000cSystem
# set script mode on

[SCRIPT MODE]> add sshkey *MARK* ssh-dss AAA....... *MARK*

But the command never completes, it seems it's waiting for some input...
I supect it's a problem with the mark I use, if not, I can't understand...
I've tried thousands of combinations of marks with no success.

I also know that the key is valid because I have other chassis using this key (not configured by me).

Can anyone tell me a valid mark wich works??
Or any idea??

Thanks,

Regards,
Marc.

Hi Marc,

from your example there i can see you are adding

*MARK* ssh-dss AAA....... *MARK*

are you forgetting the key size?

e.g: *MARK* ssh-dss 512 AAA....... *MARK*

My apologies if this is the first thing you checked, but I tried it on mine and without the keysize and it DID stall like it was waiting for the rest of the commend.

Cheers, gl, lemme know

Hi Ojex,

Finally I did it!

I tested adding the lenght of the key before it as you said, but didn't work...

I tested my command in another chassis (with no ssh key installed) and it worked, so I supossed it was a bug or something strange in that particular chassis.

So I restarted the OA and tryed again, and
it worked.

Next time, I'll restart the OA before anything...

Thanks for your help!


Cheers,
Marc.

As I said in the last post, I had to restart the OA to be able to set a new sshkey.

# ssh Administrator@OA
# restart OA
