Ed17 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:44:40 GMT

Hello there,

I've been tryin to setup perfstat8 and I keep getting SSH authentication errors.

I'm using the following:

-Perfstat8_20150514_2838689_Windows

-FAS8080EX in Cluster Mode

-Data Ontap 8.2.3

I have tried these guides so far but nothing seems to work:

Error: When generating SSH Key i get the following..

Afterwards, i try to "Start" perfstat8 and this is what I get...

Maybe I'm skipping configuration changes in the controller.

I would really appreciate some help or directions, many of the tutorials are from 2012 or 13.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Ed17,

Did you ever get this resolved? I am trying to do this on our 8040 cluster and running into the same issue. Thanks.

You hace to execute perfstat 1 node at a time, otherwise it won't work.

Just install Openssh and follow instructions properly. I encountered this issue earlier. There must be a KB for this Hope you can find it. It will work.

Regards,
