Thank you very much to:
Peter Learmonth Tim McCarthy
for their quick responses. I have it working now.
I created a passphrase-less ssh protocol 2 key on Solaris using: $ sudo ssh-keygen -t dsa
And then put the public key on the toaster at: /etc/sshd/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Thanks also for the link to the documentation http://www.netapp.com/library/tr/3428.pdf
Much appreciated.
