Remote Host Configuration

shyam · Post by **shyam** » 05 Sep 2011 2:24

Hi

We are trying to add a new Remote Host from Control M configuration Manager in Windows and the Control M server is installed in Linux. Both the EM and Server Components are 6.3.01.3 ( Fix pack 3).

However when I try to add a remote host via Configuration Manager to agent installed in Linux I am facing below issues
1. Remote Host not listed in Configuration Manager Component Window
2. Test fails with error as 6893 HOST_MAP PLUGIN and Failed to test Remote Host host-name
3. Error states remote host not reachable.

Does the Server and EM components requires restart of services after addition of remote host.
I am able to see entries in the DB for the newly added remote host but i am not able to see the same in Configuration Manager.

Any help of this will be really helpful ?

Hi,
Could you give the result of
ctmhostmap -action list [-node <remote>]
and
ctmsetown -action list
on the concerned control-m server ?

Hi Phil

Please find the result of below mentioned commands .No details were retreived
[controlm ~]$ ctmhostmap -action list

Action 'list' ended successfully.
However for second one this returned below result and these were hosts added using Configuration Manager. Both entries referred to same Host and was not getting reflected in Configuration Manager after adding.

[controlm@s214610rgsl21 ~]$ ctmsetown -action list

Owner Host Password/Key Flag Key value
----- ---- ----------------- ---------
batch_rt s214610rgvl031.uklond6.savvis.net Password Not Applicable
batch_rt RGSLV31 Password Not Applicable

2 entries were found.

Thanks very much in advance.

Hi,
ctmhostmap must be launch on controlm server to record remote nodeid's, do it at the most simple, but use it to realize end of discover.

ctmsetown is used to record user/password authorized to launch on that remote host.

so if ctmhostmap do not return the name of the remote host, do it by yourself using the -add parameter.

After that, use again the ctmsetown, and if the necessary privilege are not recorded for the user from that remote host, do it.

Hi Phil
Thanks for your reply. Can you please send me the actual step to be done to run and set up hosts from Control M server.
Can you please confirm that by adding from command line we could be able to view the same from Config Manager.
Also do I need to remove the old entries added earlier and does this addition of hosts requires restart of all processes.

Thanks very much for inputs shared so far.

Regards
Shyam

Hi,
You just have to define the remote host from controlm server

ctmhostmap -action add [-force] -node <remote> [-agent <Agents>
-protocol SSH|WMI [-sshport <SSH> -sshalg BLOWFISH|AES|DES|3DES
-compression <SSH>] [-sysoutdir <WMI>]]

and you will see that some few minutes later in CCM
