Symptoms

Oracle Infiniband switches use different users to distinguish your login host or ilom.

If you SSH to IB switch via 'root' user, you will login host and you can run management commands such as 'showvnic', 'showvlan', 'showgwports' and etc.

If you SSH to IB switch via 'ilom-admin' user, you will login ilom.

However, after you apply Exalogic Jan 2018 PSU, when logging into an Infiniband switch as ilom-admin the prompt hangs and never gets into ILOM, or when loged in as root and attempting to start ILOM using the spsh command, it also hangs and doesn't enter ILOM.

As one of results from this issue, vServers creation and start job will fail in virtual Exalogic environment.
