It was told to me, that it was okay to lock it down; as root will only access it at initial setup. Therefore, with what you state; it seems to be necessary to permit access all the time? - Mo On August 11, 2014 at 5:47:42 PM, Yiping Zhang (yzh...@marketo.com) wrote: My research so far indicates that this host user has to be root, and the management server will ssh to port 22 of hypervisor hosts to do its magic. So my follow on question is: does management server require the ability to ssh to hypervisor host all the time, or just during initial setup phase ?
