Getting Started Administering SCM

Procedure 3-2 To get started administering SCM:

1. Log on to the central management server (CMS) as a trusted user.

2. Create a XML tool definition file for a new command tool.

   1. Open a text editor and paste the following tool definition file example into the file.

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <tool-list> <ssa-command-tool name="Test Find tmp"> <category>General Tools</category> <description>Find all the tmp directory and files</description> <comment> Example Tool </comment> <include-filter type="os"> <node-filter name="OSName" operator="eq" value="HPUX"/> </include-filter> <include-filter type="os"> <node-filter name="OSName" operator="eq" value="LINUX"/> </include-filter> <ssa-block> <command command-type="stdout" log="true">            find / -name tmp</command> </ssa-block> </ssa-command-tool>

   2. Replace tmp with mx.

      There are three instances that need to be changed.

3. Save the tool definition file as testtool.xml.

4. Copy the tool definition file to:

   /var/opt/mx/tools

5. Add the tool to SCM:

   mxtool -a -f testtool.xml

6. Execute the tool to test it:

   mxexec -t "Test Find mx" -n node

   where node is the hostname of an authorized target node.

7. Log on to the SCM graphical user interface.

   1. Open a Web browser on any network client that is connected to your company intranet.

   2. Access the log on screen by navigating to:

      https://hostname:50000/

      where hostname is the hostname of the CMS.

   3. Enter your User name and Password.

   4. Click Log On.

8. Select an HP-UX or Linux node with the DTF protocol.

   1. From the Nodes tab menu, select All Nodes to load the nodes list in the workspace.

   2. Select or clear the check boxes beside the nodes as necessary.

   The Tools tab menu replaces the Nodes tab menu after you select a node.

9. Run the tool from the graphical user interface.

   1. From the Tools tab menu, expand General Tools and select Test Find mx.

      The tool launch page displays in the workspace.

   2. Click Execute on the tool launch page.

      The View Task Results screen displays in the workspace.

   3. Verify the Status is Complete, and view the results on the Stdout tab.

      If the Status is Error, view the error information on the Stderr tab.

10. Remove the tool from SCM:

    mxtool -r -f testtool.xml
