IBM Hardware Management Console (HMC) Configuration Script

The agent uses a trusted SSH key relationship and a special "uamuser" user account to connect to an IBM HMC. This avoids the need to divulge the HMC administrator’s password to the agent.

For UNIX and Linux agents, there is a shell-script called UAMhmcConfig that will guide you through the steps to set up the agent. If you are accessing an IBM HMC from a Windows agent, the configuration steps you need to perform are described later in this section.
