How to setup AIX SSH to communicate with HMC

1. Download and install SSL and openSSH on AIX client

• rpm Ivh ssl
• smitty install to install openssh (base, manpage, msg)

Note: After the SSL and OpenSSH have been installed it will create a directory called "/.ssh"

2. Generate the priv/pub keys on AIX client

• cd ~/.ssh/
• Type ssh-keygen t rsa

Note: This will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files

3. From AIX client add public key to HMC

• scp hscroot@hmc_name:.ssh/authorized_keys2 temp_hmc
• cat id_rsa.pub >> temp_hmc
• scp temp_hmc hscroot@hmc_name:.ssh/authorized_keys2
• Test it. Ex ssh hscroot@hmc_name date
