OpenSSH : Use Parallel SSH2021/02/22

	Use MPSSH (Mass Parallel Secure Shell) to connect to multiple hosts via SSH.
[1]	Install MPSSH.

# install from EPEL

[root@dlp ~]#

dnf --enablerepo=epel -y install mpssh

[2]	Basic usage for MPSSH. This is based on the environment you set SSH key-pair to target Hosts without passphrase. If set passphrase, run SSH-Agent and set passphrase on it first.

# specify target hosts per line

[cent@dlp ~]$

vi ssh_targets

node01.srv.world
node02.srv.world

# run [uname] command to target hosts

[cent@dlp ~]$

mpssh -f ssh_targets "uname -a"

MPSSH - Mass Parallel Ssh Ver.1.3.3

  [*] read (2) hosts from the list
  [*] executing "uname -a" as user "cent"
  [*] spawning 2 parallel ssh sessions
