Line wrapping in the known_hosts file introduced the incorrect whitespace in /config/ssh/ssh_known_hosts (generated by /etc/sysconfig/sshd-functions) this makes known_hosts entry non-functional because the contents of the file are space delimited.
Unable to SSH from one blade to another in a VIPRION or clustered vCMP guest or VELOS tenant, e.g. "ssh 127.3.0.whatever" or "ssh slot2". Unable to SSH to localhost, e.g. "ssh localhost".
-- SSHD configuration is modified to specify MaxAuthTries to a value of 3 or lower (the default value for MaxAuthTries is 6).
