HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

Managed node:

• ~/.ssh/.<cms_name>.dtfSshKey.pub

• ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

• ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.bak

Example 1

To copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the node node1 with the username root

and password password, enter mxagentconfig -a -n node1 -u root -p password.

Example 2

To remove the host from the known host list but still be able to run the SSH commands for an hour

after the last SSH command was executed, enter mxagentconfig –r –n node name. This

command is dependent on the following settings under Options→Security→Credentials→Trusted

Systems.

• The Central Management Server will save the SSH host key the first time an SSH

connection is made.

This option adds the unknown host to the known host list automatically the first time an SSH

connection is made.

• The Central Management Server server will accept an SSH connection with any host

key, even if not in the list below.

This option always adds the unknown host to the known host list automatically when SSH

connection made.

• The Central Management Server server will accept an SSH connection only if the host

key is in list below.

This option never adds the unknown host to the known host list automatically. You must add

known host explicitly using the mxagentconfig.

If you want Systems Insight Manager to not add the host key automatically, the third option must

be selected from above options. Systems Insight Manager maintains an SSH connection pool, so

that the already establish connection is valid for 1 hour. This means all SSH commands will work

for next 1 hour from the last time SSH connection used.

Example 3

The following command is used to configure the embedded remote support through the IRS server

-A [-n hostname] -u login [-p password] -M IRS -U IRS URL -V IRS Port

Example 4

The following command is used to disable the ERS configuration.

mxagentconfig -A [-n hostname] -u login [- p <password>] -M DISABLE
