Keep the following rules in mind when registering the Brocade user name and password:
-
The user name and password must match the user name and password specified for the
Brocade group.
-
The same user name and password must be configured on all nodes in an encryption
group. This is not enforced or validated by the encryption group members, so care must be
taken when configuring the user name and password to ensure they are the same on each
node.
-
Different user names and passwords can never be used within the same encryption group,
but each encryption group may have its own user name and password.
-
If you change the user name and password, the keys created by the previous user become
inaccessible. The Brocade group user name and password must also be changed to the
same values on SKM to make the keys accessible.
-
When storage is moved from one encryption group to another and the new encryption
group uses a different user name and password, the Brocade group user name and
password must also be changed to the same values on SKM to make the keys accessible.
