HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) custom commands and command line tools require that Secure Shell (SSH) be installed and configured on each of the managed systems to work properly. Refer to Secure Shell (SSH) in HP Systems Insight Manager white paper at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more detailed information on SSH and the features in HP SIM that use SSH.

The OpenSSH install is run from the central management server (CMS) and installs the OpenSSH service onto target Windows systems and then runs the mxagentconfig command to complete the configuration.

    3. In the Password (Verify) field, re-enter the Windows administrator password exactly as it was entered in the Password field.

    4. In the Domain field, enter the Windows domain.

      Note: Leave Domain field blank if the administrator account on the target systems is a local account.
