Configuring Advanced Security Level

Note When an error occurs while storing shares on the cards, the cluster should be deleted and recreated.

Detailed Steps

To configure the advanced security level, follow these steps:

1. In the Create Cluster: Confirmation screen, click Confirm to create the cluster. The Create Cluster: A Store Keyshares screen appears.

2. After the smart card applet finishes loading, click Next.

When entering smart card information, note the following:

• Be sure that the smart card reader is connected using the USB port (see the “Installing Smart Card Drivers” section on page 2-24).

• When you insert a smart card into the reader, the card will be verified. You will be prompted to initialize the card if the card has not been previously initialized.

• For each smart card, each SME Recovery Officer must log in and enter the smart card PIN.

• Make sure that you have the correct smart card drivers installed before proceeding.

3. Enter the switch login information (username and password used to log in to DCNM-SAN), the PIN number for the smart card, and a label that identifies the smart card. The PIN number and label were defined during the smart card initialization.

4. Click Next.

You will see a notification that the keyshare is being stored. This notification is shown after each keyshare is stored.

5. Click Next.
