Veritas Storage Foundation™ and High Availability Solutions 5.0.1 Getting Started Guide

To verify that you can connect to a target system

On the source system (system1), type the following command:

system1 # ssh -l root system2 uname -a

where system2 is the name of the target system.

The command should execute from the source system (system1) to the target

system (system2) without the system requesting a passphrase or password.

Repeat this procedure for each target system.

Enabling remsh

Remote shell functionality is enabled automatically after installing an HP-UX

system.

Typically, the only requirement to enable remote installations is to modify the

.rhosts file. A separate .rhosts file is in the $HOME directory of each user. You

must modify this file for each user who remotely accesses the system using remsh.

Each line of the .rhosts file must contain a fully qualified domain name or IP

address for each remote system that has access to the local system. For example,

if the root user must remotely access system1 from system2, add an entry for

system2.companyname.com to the /.rhosts file on system1.

# echo "system2.companyname.com" >> $HOME/.rhosts

After you complete an installation procedure, delete the .rhosts file from each

user’s $HOME directory to ensure security:

# rm -f $HOME/.rhosts

See the operating system documentation and the remsh(1M) manual page for more

information on configuring remote shell.
