  • you try to login to karaf console from account openhabian ?
    Yes, I use PuTTY to connect to my RPi, then login using openhabian ID

have a look at the only row that contains port 8101:

as you can see it contains 127.0.0.1 in front of the port number.
This means that your karaf console is ‘only’ listening on the local interface not on the ehternet interface.
This means you need to use localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead of your host’s name or ip address as connection parameter.

So

ssh  -p 8101 openhab@localhost

instead of

ssh  -p 8101 openhab@192.168.2.22

karaf console per default only listens on the local interface.
This is why you get connection refused.
In case you want to reach it via it’s hostname you need to change the configuration. But this would only be required in case you directly want to reach it from an other computer without first logging into the OH host.

Apologies for my confusion, but I am using PuTTY to login to the OH host (the RPi on IP 192.168.2.22).

From my PuTTY console, what do I have to enter to get to the karaf console?

Do I enter

ssh  -p 8101 openhab@localhost
28

Did you try that command?
ssh -p 8101 openhab@localhost

This also works:
openhab-cli console
