Master Security Client Situations
The first time the Security Configurator is started in
an unsecure environment, the following message is
displayed: “This utility is running on an unsecure
system. Continuing will allow you to set up a new
security configuration making this system the
Master Client System.”
Click OK on the message and complete the ACG setup.
The system on which the Security Configurator is running
will become the MSC.
When I start the Security Configurator on a Backup
Master system, the following message is displayed:
“Warning: This system is a backup master client
system. Therefore you will only be able to view the
security configuration. To make changes, you will
need to run this utility on the master client system.”
Because each Backup Master system receives all the
updates that the MSC makes to the security configuration,
the Backup Master systems must be online when the
Security Configurator is running on the MSC. Otherwise,
updates to the security configuration are not reflected to
the Backup Master. If the Backup Master becomes the
MSC, corruption of the security configuration may occur.
Click OK to close the message.

Situation Resolution
The MSC is no longer bootable or able to
connect to the FC network.
You must reassign a Backup Master as the new MSC
from the Backup Master.
Warning: Use this procedure only if the MSC cannot
relinquish control to a Backup Master. For
example, if the MSC is no longer bootable or
able to connect to the FC network. Under any
other circumstances, if the Backup Master
takes over as the MSC and the MSC is still
running or comes back online later, there will
be two MSCs for the same security
configuration. This will eventually lead to
corruption of the security configuration.
New Keys Were Generated While Servers Were
Offline. A "Generate New Keys" operation was
performed while one or more of the servers were
offline. Now those servers can no longer access the
HBAnyware Security Configurator or the
HBAnyware utility.
The servers are no longer part of the security
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 can be added back into the security topology
by the MSC.
Note: If the server was also a client to an ASG, then
when you run the Security Configurator on the
MSC or a parent client of this client, its label in the
ASG tree of the Access Sub-Group tab will be "-
ASG (Offline Client) -". You must delete the ASG
(after deleting the child ASGs) and recreate the
ASG configuration of this client and its child
ASGs.
