create certificate
Description
Creates or removes a custom security certificate.
The storage system supports use of unique certificates for secure data communications, to
authenticate that the expected storage systems are being managed. Use of authentication
certificates applies to the HTTPS protocol, which is used by the web server in each controller
module. The PowerVault Manager and SMI-S interfaces use the same certificate.
After using this command you must restart each Management Controller to which the change is
applied to have the change take effect
