So I installed Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications in Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 on my Windows 7 PC. I needed to add the following directory to my %PATH%, C:\Windows\SUA\bin, since it contains all of the *NIX utils such as awk, grep, and . . . RSH. So now, when I open a command prompt, I can use RSH. So now, for example, I can do this:
rsh -l username:password filer version
On the other hand, when I try to now run perfstat I always get the message "RSH to filer myfiler fails! Quitting." I wonder if the app is looking for something other than just the rsh executable. Has anyone at NetApp ever tried this before?
Thanks for the link to the community site page I am able to see. I already knew about using plink in the past, and pretty much did the same, whereby I added plink to my path. Plink though gives me the same problems as above though, since I cannot run PerfMon or perstat with Plink. It just cuts short the installation of the Unix utils and adds a more secure layer of SSH connectivity.
