Steps for connecting to a DPM appliance

•
Registration File: This file is created as /etc/fabos/certs/sw0/DpmReg_
registration file contains the current registration status of the client. A sample registration file
before successful registration with the DPM server is provided.
client.registration_state = 0
client.actmgmt_enable = 0
client.app_name = B10_00_00_05_1e_53_89_eb
client.actmgmt_poll_interval = 0
During a successful key vault connection and client registration, the registration file is updated
with the information provided by the DPM server. A sample registration file showing successful
registration with the DPM server is provided.
client.actmgmt_enable = 0
client.policy_signature =

When the registration process is completed successfully, the registration state will be 3. If the
state is 0, registration is in progress.
DPM key vault high availability deployment
When dual DPM appliances are used for high availability, the DPM appliances must be clustered
and must operate in maximum availability mode, as described in the DPM appliance user
documentation.
When dual DPM appliances are clustered, they are accessed using an IP load balancer. For a
complete high-availability deployment, the multiple IP load balancers are clustered, and the IP load
balancer cluster exposes a virtual IP address called a floating IP address. The floating IP address
must be registered on the Fabric OS encryption group leader using the cryptocfg
--
reg
-
keyvault
command.
Neither the secondary DPM appliance nor individual DPM appliance IP addresses should be
registered. The command to register a secondary DPM appliance is blocked, beginning with
Fabric OS 6.3.0.
