Set Up the Remote Site 
Before using the Secure Shell to communicate with a remote site, you need to set up 
that site with the ISDS. The instructions in this section describe how to use the 
siteCmd program to set up a remote site. 
 
Setting Up the Remote Site 
Complete the following steps for each RNCS site that your ISDS will manage. 
1  If necessary, open an xterm window on the ISDS. 
2  Complete the following steps to log on to the xterm window as root user. 
a  Type su - and press Enter. The password prompt appears. 
b  Type the root password and press Enter
3  Type siteCmd  -S and press Enter. The following message appears: 
Enter the host name of the site you are adding.
 
4  Type the host name of the remote site you are registering and press Enter
Example: lionn2 
Result: The following message appears: 
Enter the IP address of the site you are adding.
 
5  Type the IP address of the remote site you are registering and press Enter
Example: 10.202.0.1 
Result: The following message appears: 
The following line will be added to /etc/hosts: 
[IP address]  [host name] 
Do you want to continue? [y,n,?,q]
 
6  Type (for yes) and press Enter
Results: 
 
The system performs a connectivity check between the RNCS and the ISDS. 
 
The system sets up the RNCS with the required configuration so that a 
Secure Shell can be used for communications between the ISDS and the 
RNCS. 
 
The system creates a synchronization directory for the RNCS in the ISDS 
(/dvs/distFiles/[host name]). 
Example: In the example used in this procedure, the siteCmd program creates 
the following directory on the ISDS: /dvs/distFiles/lionn2
7  Verify that a secure connection exists by typing siteCmd  [hostname]  ls  -l and 
press Enter. The system should display the hostname and site ID of the remote 
site, as well as a listing of the files in the directory of the remote site. 
Note: Substitute the hostname of the remote site for [hostname].
