See the man page for csshsetup

Basically you create a file listing the hosts you want configuured with pdsh one per line and then pass it to the csshsetup command.

So if I have 3 hosts I want to work with pdsh, hostA, hostB, hostC, then I create a file called say "myhosts.txt" with the entries:

hostA
hostB
hostC

and then invoke csshsetup:

csshsetup -r -f myhosts.txt

Full manual for pdsh is part of the DSAU tools here:

See chapter 4.

Thanks Duncan,

Already we have configured SSH key configuration in our hosts. Now we can connect all our servers from one server without password.

Is it required to execute csshsetup command?

Do you have any idea about how to configure pdsh in hpunix? i checked the document. but not clear.

Well all csshsetup does is setup passwordless logins, so if you have that done already, there's nothing else to do... just try out pdsh with a simple command such as:

pdsh -w host1,host2,host3 bdf

obviously replacing host1, host2, host3 with the names of your hosts.
