What is Remote DSU feature
Option to enable updates to another system from the host system. The following options are the methods to use connect with remote
system for updates either using single command or updated on multiple systems
Remote option for single systems
• Command to use remote option on Microsoft Windows Operating System
The following option is to enable the remote option on Microsoft Windows systems: dsu /remote=domain
\credentials@hostname
• Command to use remote option on Linux Operating System
The following option to enable for a single machine can be used in the cong le or only as the single command in the prompt.
--remote="username:password@hostIP"
• Remote option for multiple systems
The cong le is used when we need multiple connections.
When using the remote option with two separate credentials and IP address.
dsu --remote=root:password1@100.100.10.11,root:password2@100.100.10.22
If using the cong le for the two IP address
dsu --remote --config=/root/dsuconfig.xml
Below is the DSU cong le - Method 1
<DSUConfig>
<RemoteSystem>
<System Address="100.100.10.11">
<AuthenticationSequence>
<Authentication Type="PLAIN" Username="root" Password="password1" ExecProto="SSH"/>
</AuthenticationSequence>
</System>
<System Address="100.100.10.22">
<AuthenticationSequence>
<Authentication Type="PLAIN" Username="root" Password="password2" ExecProto="SSH"/>
</AuthenticationSequence>
</System>
</RemoteSystem>
</DSUConfig>
The DSU cong le with Authentication Sequence - Method 2 : In this case, authentication sequence is provided globally for the system
hence avoiding duplication of the same.
<DSUConfig>
<AuthenticationSequence>
<Authentication Type="PLAIN" ExecPort="22" Username="name" Password="password1"
OrderID="1"
ExecProto="SSH"/>
<Authentication Type="PLAIN" ExecPort="22" Username="name" Password="password2"
OrderID="2"
ExecProto="SSH"/>
</AuthenticationSequence>
<RemoteSystem>
<System Address="100.100.10.11"> </System>
<System Address="100.100.10.22"> </System>
