NVE: Não é possível iniciar o serviço SSH no NVE

A solução NetWorker é configurada com o equipamento NetWorker Virtual Edition (NVE), mas não pode ser acessada por meio de SSH.  Os portais de gerenciamento do administrador do NVE ainda estão acessíveis (NetWorker Management Console, NetWorker Web User Interface e NetWorker Installation Manager) e a funcionalidade backup\restore também está funcionando com sucesso.  O shell do sistema operacional NVE pode ser acessado por meio de um console remoto do vSphere Web Client.  

O serviço SSHD não está em execução e relata o seguinte:

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.

O arquivo /etc/ssh/sshd_config do NVE contém uma entrada kexalgorithms, que não foi removida durante um upgrade anterior do 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

 

Remova a entrada kexalgorithms do arquivo /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

1. No vSphere Web Client, abra uma sessão de console remoto para o NVE
2. Autentique-se no NVE com o usuário root
3. Abra o arquivo /etc/ssh/sshd_config com um editor de texto: vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
4. Remover ou comentar a linha kexalgorithms
5. Salve as alterações no arquivo /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
6. Inicie o serviço SSHD: systemctl start sshd.service
