Using a Custom SSH port for Cloudboot HVs

If you are using cloudboot HVs but a non standard SSH port for the cloud:

Power on the servers and allow them to boot the default image.

You need to know the HV Management network NIC MAC address to find the HVs new IP:

[root@server1 ~]# grep -e dhcpd -e 'bc:30:5b:dd:1c:94' /var/log/messages|tail -2
Apr 12 06:32:25 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx from bc:30:5b:dd:1c:94 via eth1
Apr 12 06:32:25 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to bc:30:5b:dd:1c:94 via eth1

Then, login to the HV with SSH (no password is required) from the CP:

Note: Please set ssh port to 22 using -p option:

[onapp@server ~]# ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 22

Reconfigure sshd to listen on custom port:

[root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ~]# echo "Port xxxx" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config ; /etc/init.d/sshd restart

Add servers to the Control Panel by selecting MAC addresses and assigning IP addresses:

Settings -->Hypervisors -->Add a new CloudBoot Hypervisor

Add the following to Custom Config section:

echo "Port xxxx" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/init.d/sshd restart
