Oracle Help! (PLZ)

bamboo4409

so I hate Oracle. I am trying to SSH in for some backups. but when restarting the instance -- I can't even get to the login screen to type in my passwords.

HELP. Is there anywhere you can point me so I can access my instance?

SSH port is open? External firewall? Browser VNC access?

bamboo4409

I am not sure about Browser VNC access/

Is this a thing with Oracle's VM's? How can I check?

I was able to SSH last week. But now it is not cooperating. And I haven't made any changes.

anubhavhirani

Check if the port is open: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Can not help without more details.

Did you change the SSH port?

bamboo4409

I didn't change any ports.

When I type in my IP address & 22 for port, it says:

Port 22 is closed on 129.146.86.232.

Until I had Oracle (Current status: terminated for no reason) I had to mess with the external firewall in the panel to open ports but by default SSH port should be open, you are welcome!

Oracle does not use username and password unless you have changed it
User = opc and it uses the key pair you set up to authenticate
What client are you using to connect ?

user depends on the distro installed
