Selecting Advanced Security

When Advanced security is selected, you need to designate the number of cards that are required to
recover the master key. This can be 2 or 3 of 5 smart cards or 2 of 3 smart cards. You will need to
configure all 5 smart cards during the cluster creations process; however, you will only need the quorum
number (that you designated in this step), to recover the master key.
In the Master Key Security screen, select Advanced. Enter the number of required smart cards for the
quorum (2 of 3 or 2 of 5 or 3 of 5). Click Next.
