I checked for openssh-server on both the Base VM and deployed VM. They both
have openssh-server
root@rough-try:~# dpkg -l | grep openssh
ii openssh-client 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8
ppc64el secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote
machines
ii openssh-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8
ppc64el secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote
machines
ii openssh-sftp-server 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8
ppc64el secure shell (SSH) sftp server module, for SFTP access from
remote machines
I am using latest version of Ubuntu 16.04
root@rough-try:~# cat /etc/os-release

I am able to login after maually making the ssh services up. But after every
reboot or the session logout, the ssh service goes down and for login I have to
go to the HMC and make it up manually

Provided this steps following documentation and ask to start the system.. ssh
not enabled after the reboot and system going to emergency mode.
sudo systemctl enable ssh

We will need to involve distro team further.
