SSH Client does not work on NT4

The installer does not work on NT4, and OpenSSH is supported on that platform.

Any thoughts on how to get OpenSSH working on NT4?

Download OpenSSH from another source and install. I did this and it seemed to work.
You'll then need to use the various utilities to add the Accounts, including the local System Admin account.
You can then use the mxagentconfig to create the keys.

Are you actually using SIM to run commands on other boxes? If not OpenSSH is not needed on the remote Servers. It's certainly not a requirement for HPSIM except on the CMS itself.

Rob is correct. OpenSSH is not required for monitoring and is a net new feature for hpSIM. No new features are being delivered for NT4, although existing ones are still supported.
