Adding a member node to an encryption group

NOTE

If the maximum number of certificates is exceeded, the following message is displayed.

Maximum number of certificates exceeded. Delete an unused certificate with the
‘cryptocfg –-delete –file’ command and then try again

6. Enter the cryptocfg

show

file

all command on the group leader to verify that you have

imported all necessary certificates.

The following example shows the member node CP certificate that was imported earlier to the
group leader.

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --show -file -all
File name: enc_switch1_cp_cert.pem, size: 1338 bytes

7. On the group leader, register each node you are planning to include in the encryption group.

Enter the cryptocfg

reg

membernode command with appropriate parameters to register

the member node. Specify the member node’s WWN, Certificate filename, and IP address
when executing this command. Successful execution of this command distributes all
necessary node authentication data to the other members of the group.

SecurityAdmin:switch> cryptocfg --reg -membernode \
10:00:00:05:1e:39:14:00 enc_switch1_cert.pem 10.32.244.60
Operation succeeded.

NOTE

The order in which member node registration is performed defines group leader succession. At
any given time there is only one active group leader in an encryption group. The group leader
succession list specifies the order in which group leadership is assumed if the current group
leader is not available.

8. Check the status of the encryption group to ensure correct state. This example shows the

encryption group KMIP with two member nodes, one group leader and one regular member.
