NVE: Impossibile avviare il servizio SSH su NVE

La soluzione NetWorker è configurata con l'appliance NetWorker Virtual Edition (NVE), ma non è accessibile tramite SSH.  I portali di gestione degli amministratori NVE sono ancora accessibili (NetWorker Management Console, NetWorker Web User Interface e NetWorker Installation Manager) e anche la funzionalità di backup/restore funziona correttamente.  La shell del sistema operativo NVE è accessibile tramite una console remota di vSphere Web Client.  

Il servizio SSHD non è in esecuzione e segnala quanto segue:

nve:~ # systemctl start sshd.service
Job for sshd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status sshd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

Il file NVE /etc/ssh/sshd_config contiene una voce kexalgorithms, che non è stata rimossa durante un aggiornamento precedente di NVE. 

nve:~ # cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -b2 kexalgorithms
Match Address ::1,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,::1,10.0.0.3,fe80::250:56ff:febb:58e7
   PermitRootLogin yes
kexalgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org

 

Rimuovere la voce kexalgorithms dal file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

1. Da vSphere Web Client, aprire una sessione della console remota su NVE
2. Eseguire l'autenticazione a NVE con l'utente root
3. Aprire il file /etc/ssh/sshd_config con un editor di testo: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
4. Rimuovere o commentare la riga kexalgorithms
5. Salvare le modifiche al file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
6. Avviare il servizio SSHD: systemctl start sshd.service
