Upgrading Existing Managed Systems

Install SSH on the managed systems:

Upgrade the CMS. Refer to “Upgrading from SCM 3.0 to HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2” for more information.

On the CMS, copy the SSH-generated public key from the CMS to the managed system, and place it in the authorized keys file of the execute-as user (root or administrator).

Important: If the CMS is not an HP-UX system: On a non-English CMS, ensure that an administrator account (spelled exactly as follows, administrator) exists on the CMS, and that mxagentconfig has been run on the CMS for the created administrator account.

1. Launch the Manage SSH Keys dialog box from the CMS command prompt:

   mxagentconfig -a -n hostname -u username -p Password

2. Click Connect.

Alternatively you can configure SSH through the command line version of mxagentconfig. On the CMS, type "mxagentconfig -?" for usage.

	NOTE: Using the -p option will make the password available in "ps" output, so use of the -f option (with a file only readable by root) is highly recommended when using mxagentconfig -a. If the –p using option is used, enclose the password in single quotes if the password has any special characters like & or $.
