SSH Problems when running Uptime.exe

EdSant — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 21:33:45 GMT

Hi,

I found an interesting article that explained how to run Uptime.exe from within HP SIM. I created a DOS batch file that simply launches the uptime.exe with the /s parameter.

Everything looks OK, however, when I launch the app, I get an error message, which reads:

Ssh Operation failed for node:node_name SSH_CHANNEL_FAILUREnull

Using the SSH in HP SIM 5.0 PDF white paper, I ran the following command:

ssh Mydomain\MyUser@targethost

Where MyDomain, MyUser and targethost were replaced w/ actual domain, user ID and server names. When prompted for the MyUser password, I entered the password that I know that works. However, I keep getting "Permission Denied" messages.

What could be wrong here?

hi

I suppose that openssh has been installed , keys have been exchanged probably between the HPSIM server and the the client server. You may use the mxagentconfig -a -n node name -u user -p password to make this exchange.
You may also chech under options / security / ssh keys on the hpsim server web UI if the line is selected or not : The central management server will accept an SSH connection with any key, even if not in the list below. )

Did you create an XML file to launch the uptime.exe ? or is it a custom command ?

I attached a tdf file (uptime.xml) to launch uptime from the HPSIM web interface.
copy the xml file into the tools directory. Uptime.exe needs to be present on each server.

regards

fred
