Before you can issue command-line interface (CLI) commands
from the host to the cluster, you must prepare the Secure Shell (SSH)
client system.
Microsoft Windows operating
systems
The
IBM® System Storage® Productivity
Center (
SSPC)
and the
master console for
the
SAN Volume Controller include
the PuTTY client program, which is a Microsoft® Windows® SSH
client program. The PuTTY client program can be installed on your
SSPC or
master console server
in one of the following ways:
Note: Before you install the PuTTY client program, ensure that
your Windows system meets
the system requirements. See the IBM System Storage Productivity
Center Introduction and Planning Guide for
system requirements.
If you want to use an SSH client
other than the PuTTY client, the following Web site offers SSH client
alternatives for Windows:

IBM AIX operating systems
For IBM AIX 5L™ for POWER®, versions 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and AIX® version 6.1 for IBM POWER6® architecture,
you can obtain the OpenSSH client from the bonus packs, but you also
must obtain its prerequisite, OpenSSL, from the IBM AIX toolbox
for Linux® applications for IBM Power Systems™. For AIX 4.3.3, you can obtain the software from the AIX toolbox for Linux applications.
Linux operating
systems
The OpenSSH client is installed
by default on most Linux distributions.
If it is not installed on your system, consult your Linux installation documentation or visit the
following Web site:
www.openssh.org/portable.html
The OpenSSH client
can run on a variety of additional operating systems. For more information

the openSSH client, visit the following Web site:
