Connect to a VPC VSIs or Power Virtual Server Instances by using floating IP

After deployment, connect to the landscape via SSH proxy using the jump box's floating IP to access the private IPs of Intel and Power Virtual Server instances.

Before you begin

  1. Ensure you deployed the landscape by entering a value in the external_access_ip field. Only this IP is allowed to login to the environment as it is allowed in the management-sg group.
  2. Review the outputs from the deployable architecture.

Connect to the landscape

  1. Make sure you have the right private SSH key.
  2. Use the following SSH commands to access the hosts.
ssh root@<access_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>

ssh -A -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=600 -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@<access_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>" root@<ansible_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>

ssh -A -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=600 -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@<access_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>" root@<ntp_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>

ssh -A -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=600 -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@<access_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>" root@<dns_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>

ssh -A -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=600 -o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p root@<access_host_or_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>" root@powervs_instance_management_ip> -i <path_to_private_key>
