Deploying OpenSSH to CIM 5.5 servers

[Ben Butler]

I am upgrading from cim 5.5 to SIM 4.1. I am using a new CMS and need to deply SSH to 280 servers. is there an easy way of doing this with out logging on to each box individually?

Under the Deploy pull down menu is a task that uses OS security to remotely install OpenSSH. Please note an important thing: OpenSSH is not required on any server except for the management server unless you are going to take advantage of the distributed task functionality.

Also, if you haven't already seen it, there is a whitepaper that has some good information when upgrading from CIM 5.5. Find it at http://www.hp.com/servers/manage --> HP SIM --> Information Library

Thanks for that David.
