Configuring Advanced Security Level
Note When an error occurs while storing shares on the cards, the cluster should be deleted and recreated.
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.
You will see a notification that the keyshare is being stored. This notification is shown after each keyshare is stored.
6. Enter the switch credentials and PIN information for the second recovery officer. Click Next.
7. Enter the switch credentials and PIN information for the third recovery officer. Click Next.
8. Enter the switch credentials and PIN information for the fourth recovery officer. Click Next.
9. Enter the switch credentials and PIN information for the fifth recovery officer. Click Next.
10. Click Finish to return to the DCNM-SAN Web Client to view the smart card information.
11. View the smart card information by selecting Smartcards.
