Connection types

Lyve Mobile Padlock unlocks Lyve Mobile Arrays using the following interfaces:

  • PCIe Adapter in Lyve Mobile Mount
  • Fibre Channel or SAS via Lyve Mobile Rackmount Receiver Padlock does not support iSCSI connected devices.

Direct connection
Padlock's LAN2 (DHCP server) port can be directly connected to an Ethernet port on PCIe Adapter or Rackmount Receiver. Padlock can unlock only one device connected to the Ethernet port.
Connection types - Direct connectionShown above: Padlock connected to Slot B's Ethernet port. If Lyve Mobile Array is in Slot A, connect the Ethernet cable to Slot A's Ethernet port.

Network connection
In network environments, PCIe Adapter and Rackmount Receiver Ethernet ports are connected to a network switch. Padlock's LAN1 (DHCP client) port can be connected to the same network switch to communicate with the devices.

The network must provide DHCP addressing.

Requirements

Connect Lyve Mobile Array
Before configuring Lyve Mobile Padlock to automatically unlock a Lyve Mobile Array, you must set up Lyve Mobile Array with your host device. Make certain to make all physical connections to the relevant ports.

USB external drive with Lyve token file
Lyve Mobile Padlock lets you unlock Lyve Mobile Arrays using an encrypted Lyve token file stored on a USB external drive. A product admin must provide you with a token file authorizing your Padlock to access Lyve Mobile devices.
Copy the Lyve token file to an external storage device capable of connecting via a USB Type A connector. The Lyve token file must be copied to the root level of the USB storage device to be detected by Lyve Mobile Padlock.

warningExternal storage device is not included with Lyve Mobile Padlock. Most drive formats are supported except APFS and ReFS.

    Padlock can unlock only one device via Direct connection.
    A direct connection only supports one Lyve Mobile Array. Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to the correct Ethernet port on the back of Rackmount Receiver.
    Connect Padlock - Direct connection - Step 1
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN2 port (DHCP server).
    warningThe LED on Lyve Mobile Array changes from solid orange to solid green, indicating that Padlock has successfully unlocked the device.
    Connect Padlock - Direct connection - Step 2

Network connection

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch for the network that includes PCIe Adapters and/or Rackmount Receivers. (Ethernet cable not included.)

    The network must provide DHCP addressing.
    Connect Padlock - Network connection - Step 1
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN1 port (DHCP client).
    warningThe LED on Lyve Mobile Array changes from solid orange to solid green, indicating that Padlock has successfully unlocked the device.
    Connect Padlock - Network connection - Step 2

Ensure device detection

If a Lyve Mobile Array's storage is not detected by the host computer, you may need to scan for new hardware.

Windows®

  1. On the Windows host computer, open Device Manager.
  2. Right-click Disk drives and select Scan for hardware changes.

Linux®

  1. On the Linux station, open a terminal session.
  2. Enter the following: rescan-scsi-bus.sh

Padlock web interface

You can monitor Lyve Mobile Padlock or add a device manually from a Windows PC.
On your Windows PC, open a file browser and click on Network. Click on the Padlock icon under Other Devices. The Padlock interface will launch in your default web browser.
The web interface can be helpful if one or more authorized Lyve Mobile Arrays remain locked. You can:

  • Confirm that Padlock has detected locked devices.
  • Add a device manually using its IP address and serial number.
