Checking Image versions on multiple F5 Devices

Hi  ,

I had this explained in this step,

Have the passwordless login set up if not done already. You can refer internet on how to have passwordless login from a particular account. Or worst case, have a sshpass method used.

You can google on how to use sshpass method. Its your call to put explictly or by using in a file.

sshpass -p 'secret-password'

echo "HOSTNAME,Version" > /var/tmp/F5-version-report.csv
for i in `cat /var/tmp/serverlist.txt`;
do
sshpass -p 'secret-password' ssh root@$i "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" "bash -s" < ./version-script  >> /var/tmp/F5-version-report.csv
done

or write your password in a file, make it readable by the user (share proper privileges)

sshpass -f secretfile 

echo "HOSTNAME,Version" > /var/tmp/F5-version-report.csv
for i in `cat /var/tmp/serverlist.txt`;
do
sshpass -f secretfile root@$i "-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no" "bash -s" < ./version-script  >> /var/tmp/F5-version-report.csv
done

Hope this helps.
