Overview

You can use the Check Access State option to make sure that you have access to your SEP sesam Client(s).

To determine whether the client is accessible, that is, to verify that the SEP sesam software is present on the client, the network connection works and hence the client is reachable from the SEP sesam Server, proceed as follows:

From the SEP sesam GUI

  1. In the SEP sesam GUI -> Main Selection -> Topology, right-click the target SEP sesam Client.
  2. Select Check Access State and click Yes.
  3. Check access state.png

Note that availability of the update/install options depends on your selected update mode. If the Update mode is set to Turn off (hide from all users) the option Check Access state is not visible.

In the background the command for checking the access state (see the section below), will be executed asynchronously.

From the SEP sesam Server command line

Execute the following command on SEP sesam Server console:

sm_update_client check_client -C r -c <client_name> -m SMSSH

where the option -C r means that remote access of the client should be checked and -m SMSSH means that ssh should be used to check the connection.

Checking the results in the SEP sesam GUI

You can check the results in Topology in the column Access State, Last Access and Last sesam Message.

SEP Tip.png Tip
If the Topology columns are not visible, right-click a column header and select the option Column Visibility. Then simply select the relevant check boxes to set up which columns will be displayed.
