The following table shows which software utilities can be used to perform remote start and deployment. Information about installation and configuration of each software utility follow. Use the software utility’s documentation for more details.
You can use more than one utility for the machines in the cluster. However it is recommended that you use only one across all the machines. Ensure that the software is installed and running on all relevant machines.
Only SSH software enables MM to deploy BusinessEvents software to the predefined hosts, that is, those configured in the monitored cluster’s topology file.
If you want to use SSH on Windows machines, you must download the software and install it. For machines running Windows OS, TIBCO has tested with Copssh software. Note that Openssh for Windows is not supported.
You must activate one of the users available in the host where you install Copssh. To do so, select
Start > All Programs > Copssh > 01 Activate a User. Select from the list of system users shown, or enter a domain user name.
You can use TIBCO Hawk to start remote engines. It must be installed and running on the MM server machine and on all the client machines that use this method. All machines in the same cluster must use the same TIBCO Hawk domain and use the same transport definitions (server, network, daemon port).
PsTools is an open Windows utility that enables execution on remote machines. You can use PsTools to start remote engines only when both MM and the target host run on Windows.
The first time PsTtools is run on a client machine, a popup window appears. You must accept the certificate so that PsTools becomes fully functional. Do this once on each host machine.
