Parameters

panel_name
(Optional) Identifies the node being serviced.

Description

This command installs a temporary SSH key for a superuser ID to run commands in the service assistant CLI (for example, to copy files to or from the node).

You can only use this command when completing a service action. Installing a temporary key will replace any available existing keys. The key will be deleted when the node joins a cluster or is rebooted or power cycled.
