Re: EMC DD2500: Communicating to the device from IBM i

Getting around SSH passwords is a common problem.

Here's the "correct" way to do it (using public/private key encryption):

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, but I understand it's prety straightforward.

I am using DD2500's fine with my Power systems, both AIX and IBM i. What I
would like to do is to communicate with the device's command line using
languages on the IBM i to move tapes and stuff.

Simple sample is :
QSH
ssh -l rob@dekko-1 kdvl-dd2500.corp.dekko.com
- get prompted for password
help
- lists some commands.

Basically I do not want to get prompted for the password as I want to
script this session.

In addition to the commands an alternative is to use their REST apis but
that sounds trickier (at least to this uninitiated soul).
