Examples

CLI

hws HOSTNAME -t rs6000 -f IBMAIXUeSensor --ssh -u USER

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: rs6000
  selectedConnectors: [ IBMAIXUeSensor ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  ssh:
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt
