Clustering procedures
Creating a cluster
You create a cluster on one SKM and then join other members to that cluster. To create a cluster:
1.
Select an SKM to be the first cluster member. This device cannot currently be a member of a
cluster.
2.
Log in to the Management Console as an administrator with Cluster access control.
3.
Navigate to the Create Cluster section on the Cluster Configuration page (Device > Cluster).
4.
Enter the Local IP, Local Port, and Cluster Password.
5.
Click Create Cluster.
Joining a cluster
Before joining a cluster, make sure that the KMS Server does not already belong to another cluster.
SKMs can belong to only one cluster at a time. To join a cluster:
1.
Log in to the Management Console of a current cluster member as an administrator with Cluster
access control.
2.
Navigate to the Cluster Settings section of the Cluster Configuration page (Device > Cluster).
3.
Click Download Cluster Key to save the key on your local file system. The cluster key contains
authentication information used when passing information between cluster members.
4.
Log in to the SKM that you want to add to the cluster and navigate to Join Cluster section on the
Cluster Configuration page. Enter the Local IP, Local Port, Cluster Member IP, Cluster Member
Port, and Cluster Password. Enter the location of the cluster key in the Cluster Key field.
5.
Click Join Cluster.
NOTE:
After joining the cluster, you will be prompted to synchronize with an existing cluster member.
We recommend that you synchronize your device. For more information about this process,
please see

6.
Delete the cluster key from the local file system on your workstation.
