Configuring Standard Security Level

Detailed Steps

To configure the standard security level, follow these steps:

1. In the Confirmation screen, click Confirm to create the 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”).

• 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.

• Make sure that you have the appropriate 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. Click Next.

4. Click Finish to create a cluster.

5. Click Close to return to the DCNM-SAN Web Client and to view the smart card information after the cluster creation is completed.

6. View the smart card information.

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

Note The smart card reader is only supported on Windows platforms. This includes only the Windows XP 32 bit and Windows server 2003 32 bit platforms
