Connect to the FluidFS Cluster CLI Through SSH Without Using a Password

You can use SSH keys to bypass the SSH login prompt to manage the FluidFS cluster.
  1. Log on to a UNIX/Linux workstation for which you want to bypass the SSH login prompt.
  2. From the command line, type the following command: ssh-keygen -t rsa
  3. Press Enter at the Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ <user_name>/.ssh/id_rsa) prompt.
  4. Press Enter at the Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase) prompt and again at the Enter same passphrase again prompt. An SSH key is generated at /home/ <user_name>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
  5. Copy the SSH key.
  6. Log on to the CLI using a password.
  7. Type the following command: system administrators passwordless-access add-ssh-keys Administrator <MachineName> “ <SSH_key>”
    Now you can use the following command to log on to the FluidFS cluster from the workstation without needing a password: 
    ssh 
                                       <FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@
                                       <client_VIP_or_name>
    You can also use the following format to run commands from the workstation without needing a password: 
    ssh 
                                       <FluidFS_administrator_user_name>@
                                       <client_VIP_or_name>
                                       <CLI_command>
