Enabling SSH on Backup Appliance

For security reasons, SSH is disabled on the Nutanix AHV backup appliance by default. However, you can enable it for the purposes of manual management and troubleshooting:

  1. Switch to the Configuration page.
  2. Navigate to Settings.
  3. On the Summary tab, set the Enable SSH toggle to On.

When you connect to the Nutanix AHV backup appliance using SSH, enter credentials of the administrator account that you have specified during the initial backup appliance configuration.
