9000 and 3600, respectively. For Server Certificate, select the name of the certificate you
created in “Creating and installing the SKM or ESKM server certificate” on page 30.
6. Click Save.
Creating an SKM or ESKM High Availability cluster
The HP SKM/ESKM key vault supports clustering of HP SKM/ESKM appliances for high availability.
If two SKM/ESKM key vaults are configured, they must be clustered. If only a single SKM/ESKM
appliance is configured, it may be clustered for backup purposes, but the backup appliance will not
be directly used by the switch. The procedures in this section will establish a cluster configuration
on one SKM/ESKM appliance and then transfer that configuration to the remaining appliances.
• Create the cluster on one SKM/ESKM appliance that is to be a member of the cluster.
• Copy the local CA certificate from the first SKM/ESKM appliance or an existing cluster
member.
• Paste the local CA certificate it into the management console for each of the SKM/ESKM
appliances added to the cluster.
