OneView 3.0: Connection to remote backup location fails

[jwe]

Yes, the ssh host key from the backup target is used. Using a wrong key generates different errors.

A brief update regarding this issue:

HPE support has confirmed this issue. It's documented in a new Customer Advisor:

Advisory: HPE OneView 3.X - Remote Backup Setup Will Fail with a Connection Timed Out Message If the Password Prompt Is Not In Lowercase Letters

http://h20566.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-a00027753en_us&hprpt_id=HPGL_ALERTS_1984023&jumpid=em_alerts_us-us_Sep17_xbu_all_all_1280645_1984023_ServersEnterpriseSoftware_recommended__/

If the linux/unix system returns something like "Password" (starting with an uppercase letter), OneView will not recognize this and finaly a timeout will ocure.

Hopefully, this will be fixed in an future release, since customzing the prompt message is not possible for all linux versions.

Hi.

Im having the same issue. Oneview 3.1.

I have checked the advisory mentioned above and that is not an issue.  "password" is all lowercase.

I can SCP to my backup target using the username and password used in the backup settings.

I think this has not been solved.
