Overview
The SAFplus Management system provides an integrated NETCONF, SNMP, CLI (local and remote), local API, and web access platform whose data model presents on these northbound interfaces as a single management data configuration and statistics tree. Yet data can be stored and requests serviced by many separate applications running on many nodes in a cluster. Incoming requests from multiple protocol handlers are automatically translated into a standard high performance message request format and routed to the application that is currently servicing that portion of the data tree. Data routing is dynamic. Applications can "bind" to portions of the tree at any time, allowing data servicing to be handed from one application to another and for crashing applications to be seamlessly restarted or failed over.
This guide describes how to add SAFplus Management into a cluster. It assumes that cluster applications are already management-enabled. To learn how to enable your applications for management access, please refer to the SAFplus Management Developer's Guide.

Next, add our repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.openclovis.com/files/debian $(lsb_release -s -c) contrib"
Update the list of software packages in the repository
sudo apt-get update
Finally, install SAFplus Management
sudo apt-get install safplusMgt
Troubleshooting
NETCONF clients connect and then disconnect instantly
You have either not enabled NETCONF in sshd_config, or the binding program does not exist. Add this to /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart:
Port 830 Subsystem netconf <replace with your path to SAFplus>/bin/netconf-subsystem
