Access interconnects using SSH to HPE Synergy Composer

You can use the SSH option to connect to the HPE Synergy Composer and manually manage interconnects that are not managed by HPE OneView. SSH provides a command line interface to connect to the device consoles within the associated HPE Synergy enclosures.

Prerequisites
  • An SSH client. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends you use PuTTY or SSH command to access the appliance console through an SSH connection.
  • HPE Synergy Composer must have SSH access-enabled.
  • Privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Network administrator with scopes as appropriate to connect to an interconnect.
Procedure
  1. Invoke one of the recommended tools on your local computer.
  2. Access the appliance by specifying its fully qualified domain name or its IP address.
  3. Log in using your HPE OneView credentials.
  4. Issue the following commands:
    1. console-view
    2. display interconnect list
    3. connect interconnect <enclosure name> <bay number> 1
  5. Press the Enter key twice to establish a connection.

Use the help or ? command to get a list of all the commands.

NOTE:

To disconnect from the console use <Ctrl>_. (that is, Control + Shift + underscore followed by a period).
