Test Connectivity to Oracle Analytics Server

Use Secure Shell (SSH) client software to connect to the Oracle Analytics Server compute instance deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to perform administrative tasks.

You need the public IP address of the compute instance to use SSH. See Connecting to a Compute Instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Note:

The way you access a private compute node depends on your environment. For example, you might decide to deploy a bastion host (see Oracle Technical Brief on post-deployment bastion host setup). If your network configuration uses FastConnection or VPN with IPSec, you must provide the network setup that allows you to use SSH to connect to the private compute node.

  1. Open any SSL utility, for example openSSL.
  2. Connect to your Oracle Analytics Server compute instance and log in.
    $ ssh -i path_to_private_key_file opc@oas_public_ip

    path_to_private_key_file is the full path and name of the file that contains the private key associated with the instance you want to access. This is the private key from the public-private key pair that you generated and specified when you deployed Oracle Analytics Server using Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

    opc is the default user for the compute instance opc.

    oas_public_ip is the public IP address for the compute instance that you obtained from the Console.

  3. Optional: Switch to the oracle user to explore the Oracle Analytics Server compute instance and perform administrative tasks.
