Initial PSP Install issues

[Alex Chalmers]

There's been a considerable amount of traffic already on this subject, but I'm running into a couple of things that I haven't seen in other posts.

Like others, I was running into a bad SSH user config but I cannot use an "Administrator" account due to local policies. I've adjusted the execution user in the proliant-msa-tools.xml file for the appropriate tools and 'mxtool -m'd the file to set the new values in the database. The problem I'm having is that the new settings have not persisted across a clean reboot, causing the authentication exception again.

Secondly, due to driver testing and hardware needs, I need to deploy a custom package using the tool and would prefer using the custom baseline creator rather than editing existing XML files. I've tried using setupc.exe for remote deployment outside of the SIM graphical interface, but have not had success with custom baseline XML files. Does anyone know a workaround?

Thanks for any info!
