HBAnyware Security Configurator Situations - Backup Masters
Not All Servers are available to an ASG.
When you create a new ASG or modify an
existing ASG, not all of the servers in the ACG
are available to be added to the ASG.
A client system can be connected to more than one fabric.
While the system the Security Configurator is running on
may be able to access all of the servers in its ACG, it is not
necessarily the case that the selected client for the ASG can
access all of the servers. Only those that can be accessed
by the selected server will be available.
Table 4: HBAnyware Security Configurator - Backup Masters Situations
Situation Resolution
Cannot create a backup master. Select a system (or group of systems) from the MSC to be
the Backup Master. The system must be either an
unsecured system (which will be secured by being made a
Backup Master), or a system that is not part of any ASG
(client or server). These systems will mirror the MSC's
security configuration.
Because the Backup Master may some day take over as
the MSC, the Backup Master must be able to physically
access all of the systems that the MSC can access.
Therefore, if the MSC is connected to multiple fabrics, the
Backup Master also must be connected to those same
fabrics. When you select a Backup Master, the HBAnyware
Security Configurator displays a warning if it detects that
the system selected to be a Backup Master is not able to
physically access the same systems that the MSC can
access
Cannot modify the Security Configurator.
Select a system (or group of systems) from the MSC to be
the Backup Master. The system must be either an
unsecured system (which will be secured by being made a
Backup Master), or a system that is not part of any ASG
(client or server). These systems will mirror the MSC's
security configuration.
The Backup Master has client access from the HBAnyware
utility to all of the servers in the MSC's ACG. However, the
Backup Master does not have client access to the MSC and
it cannot modify the security configuration (create, modify or
delete ASGs).
No Backup Master and the MSC Is no longer
available. I do not have a Backup Master and the
MSC system is no longer available. The servers
are still secure. I installed the Security
Configurator on another system, but I cannot
access those servers to remove the security from
them.
The servers are no longer part of a valid security
configuration because there is no MSC to provide master
control of the configuration. In order to reset the security on
the affected servers, you must contact Emulex Technical
Support to receive a special application and instructions on
the reset procedure. After the servers have been reset, they
should be seen by the Security Configurator and the
HBAnyware utility. At this point, you can set up security
again through another MSC. At this time, also create a
Backup Master.
