# SSH Example

These instructions demonstrate how to create the Passphrase and Credentials files for the OVA VM using VMware vSphere and SSH.

---

## Access VM Instance

In VMware vSphere, access the OVA VM using SSH. The username is `rafay_admin` and the password is `Admin$321`.

---

## Create a Passphrase file

In the SSH window, enter `vi <filename>.txt`, then press Enter. Replace `<filename>` with the name of the Passphrase file from the Console.

**Example**

```
vi upstream-test-passphrase.txt
```

This creates the passphrase text file and opens it in the Vi editor.

Type `i`. This puts the Vi editor into Insert mode and allows you to modify the file.

Copy the passphrase from the Console.

Right-click inside the SSH window. This pastes the copied passphrase.

Press `esc`, then type `:wq` to save the file and exit the Vi editor.

---

## Create a Credentials file

In the SSH window, enter `vi <filename>.pem`, then press Enter. Replace `<filename>` with the name of the Credentials file from the Console.

**Example**

```
vi upstream-test-credentials.pem
```

This creates the credentials PEM file and opens it in the Vi editor.

Press `i`. This puts the Vi editor into Insert mode and allows you to modify the file.

Copy the credentials from the Console.

Right-click inside the SSH window. This pastes the copied credentials.

Press `esc`, then type `:wq` to save the file and exit the Vi editor.

After creating the passphrase and credentials files, you can continue provisioning the [OVA VM](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/upstream/ova/provision/#step-3-launch-vm).
