OpenSSH : Use Parallel SSH2023/06/14

 
Install Parallel SSH to connect to multiple hosts.
[1] Install PSSH.
root@dlp:~#
apt -y install pssh
[2] This is the basic usage for PSSH.
This is the case for key-pair authentication without passphrase.
If passphrase is set in key-pair, start SSH-Agent first to automate inputting passphrase.
# connect to hosts and execute [hostname] command

debian@dlp:~$
parallel-ssh -H "10.0.0.51 10.0.0.52" -i "hostname"

[1] 17:28:02 [SUCCESS] 10.0.0.51
node01.srv.world
[2] 17:28:02 [SUCCESS] 10.0.0.52
node02.srv.world
# it's possible to read host list from a file

debian@dlp:~$
vi pssh_hosts.txt
# write hosts per line like follows

debian@10.0.0.51
debian@10.0.0.52
debian@dlp:~$
parallel-ssh -h pssh_hosts.txt -i "uptime"

[1] 19:37:59 [SUCCESS] debian@10.0.0.52
 19:37:59 up  1:35,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
[2] 19:37:59 [SUCCESS] debian@10.0.0.51
 19:37:59 up  1:35,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
[3] It's possible to connect with password authentication too, but it needs passwords on all hosts are the same one.
debian@dlp:~$
parallel-ssh -h pssh_hosts.txt -A -O PreferredAuthentications=password -i "uname -r"

Warning: do not enter your password if anyone else has superuser
privileges or access to your account.
Password:    
# input password

By the way, PSSH package includes [parallel-scp], [parallel-rsync], [parallel-slurp], [parallel-nuke] commands and you can use them with the same usage of pssh.
