Saving a master key to a smart card set

A card reader must be attached to the SAN Management application PC to complete this

procedure. Recovery cards can only be written once to back up a single master key. Each master

key backup operation requires a new set of previously unused smart cards.

NOTE

Windows operating systems do not require smart card drivers to be installed separately; the driver

is bundled with the operating system. However, you must install a smart card driver for Unix

operating systems. For instructions, refer to the Installation Guide.
