The simsh and simcp commands
are installed with SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console
and the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment. The default path
to the commands is /HPCMC-installation-directory/webmin/utilbin and /HPA-environment-installation-directory/bin,
respectively. To use the commands, a user account must be configured
for passwordless secure shell.
Tip
Add one of the earlier referenced
installation paths to your system PATH variable to make invoking
simsh and
simcp easier.
The simsh command
uses secure shell to invoke the specified command on every machine
that is listed in the /etc/gridhosts file.
The following command demonstrates invoking the hostname command
on each machine in the cluster:
/HPCMC-install-dir/webmin/utilbin/simsh hostname
The simcp command
is used to copy a file from one machine to the other machines in the
cluster. Passwordless secure shell and an /etc/gridhosts file
are required. The following command is an example of copying the /etc/hosts file
to each machine in the cluster:
/HPA-environment-installation-directory/bin/simcp /etc/hosts /etc
