[V7] ISSUE: "Cannot connect SSH, please check the SSH settings" error when creating a backup set on a VMware ESXi host

Article ID Reviewed AhsayOBM/AhsayACB Operating System
5234 2017-03-15 7.5.0.0 to 7.x Windows/Linux/Mac

ATTENTION 1st January, 2022: v7 officially End-of-Life [details]

Problem Description:

When creating a backup set on a VMware ESXi host the following error is shown by AhsayOBM “Cannot connect SSH, please check the SSH settings”.

Cause:

The SSH setting is disabled on the VMware ESXi host.

To perform a backup of guests' virtual machines on a VMware host, AhsayOBM needs to login to the VMware host on ssh using the root account via port 22 (default).

Resolution:

To resolve this issue:

1. Enable SSH on the VMware using the following instructions https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.getstart.doc%2Fcli_jumpstart.3.6.html

2. After enabling SSH verify the setup is correct by using telnet from the AhsayOBM machine, i.e. telnet {VMware_host} 22

Example: The following information will be displayed by a VMware ESXi v5.5 host if SSH is enabled in response to telnet.

SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.6
