LSM allows the User or Scripts to access the underlying "Target Operating System" (Windows, Linux, BSD...) file system(s) when the RAM Agent is active in RAM.
Refer to RAM Agent CLI to access the RAM Agent CLI.
Provided are examples for Windows (WS 2016), RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 7.6 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Note that the RAM Agent Username is "ramagent" and the RAM Agent password is "live".
Remote Access the Windows file system on a Machine
From the LSM Server command line, ssh to the Machine using its Service IP address (in this case, Windows Server 2016 Standard):
# ssh ramagent@192.168.49.130
