cryptoCfg
Description
Use these cryptoCfg commands to configure and manage High Availability (HA) clusters.
An HA cluster consists of two encryption engines configured to host the CryptoTargets and to
provide the active/standby failover and failback capabilities in a pair-wise relationship in a single
fabric. The encryption engines that are part of an HA cluster must belong to the same encryption
group and be part of the same fabric. The same media type container (Disk or Tape) must be
configured for all members of an HA cluster.
Failure to ensure that HA cluster members are part of the same encryption group dissolves the HA
cluster and the encryption engines lose their failover capability.
The HA cluster configuration must be performed on the group leader. Configuration changes must
be committed before they take effect. Use the cryptocfg --commit command to commit a new
configuration or a configuration change. Refer to section
information. Any operation related to an HA cluster performed without a commit operation will not
survive across switch reboots, power cycles, CP failover, or HA reboots.
The command group includes a show option, --show -hacluster. When invoked on a member node,
this command displays the committed HA cluster configuration. When invoked on the group leader,
both defined and committed configuration data is displayed including the following:
Operands
The cryptoCfg HA cluster configuration function has the following operands:
--help -hacluster
--create -hacluster
146
Encryption group name: A user-defined name
Number of HA clusters in the existing encryption group: numeric value
For each HA cluster:
-
HA cluster name: user-defined label
-
Number of encryption engine entries: numeric value
-
HA cluster Status: Committed or Defined
For each encryption engine member in the HA cluster:
-
EE WWN: the encryption group world wide name
-
EE slot number: the encryption group slot number
-
EE status: online or offline
Displays the synopsis for the HA cluster configuration function. This
command is valid on all nodes.
Defines an HA cluster with a specified name and optionally associates up to
two encryption engines with the HA cluster. This command is valid only on the
group leader. The EEs must be members of the same encryption group as the
group leader on which this command is issued. The two encryption engines
must have the same media type (Disk or Tape) containers. This command
fails if the member nodes' IP addresses for the GbE ports (I/O sync ports) are
not configured. The encryption engines must belong to different switches or
chassis. This rule is enforced by the CLI to ensure redundancy.
The following operands are supported:
HA_cluster_name
Specifies the name for the HA cluster. The name can be up to 31 characters
long and can include alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.
White space, and other special characters are not permitted. This operand is
required.
