SSH Example
These instructions demonstrate how to create the Passphrase and Credentials files for the OVA VM using VMware vSphere and SSH.
Access VM Instance¶
In VMware vSphere, access the OVA VM using SSH. The username is rafay_admin and the password is Admin$321.
Create a Passphrase file¶
In the SSH window, enter vi <filename>.txt, then press Enter. Replace <filename> with the name of the Passphrase file from the Console.
Example
vi upstream-test-passphrase.txt
This creates the passphrase text file and opens it in the Vi editor.
Type i. This puts the Vi editor into Insert mode and allows you to modify the file.
Copy the passphrase from the Console.
Right-click inside the SSH window. This pastes the copied passphrase.
Press esc, then type :wq to save the file and exit the Vi editor.
Create a Credentials file¶
In the SSH window, enter vi <filename>.pem, then press Enter. Replace <filename> with the name of the Credentials file from the Console.
Example
vi upstream-test-credentials.pem
This creates the credentials PEM file and opens it in the Vi editor.
Press i. This puts the Vi editor into Insert mode and allows you to modify the file.
Copy the credentials from the Console.
Right-click inside the SSH window. This pastes the copied credentials.
Press esc, then type :wq to save the file and exit the Vi editor.
After creating the passphrase and credentials files, you can continue provisioning the OVA VM.
