HBAnyware Security Configurator Situations - Backup Masters

Table 20: 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).

	HBAnyware utility. At this point, you can set up security
	again through another MSC. At this time, also create a
	Backup Master.
The Backup Master tab is not available.	The Backup Master tab is displayed only when the Security
	Configurator is running on the MSC or a Backup Master.
	You use this tab to set up a system or systems to be
	backups to the MSC and to replace the MSC with a Backup
	Master.
	Each time you start the Security Configurator on the MSC
	and there is no Backup Master assigned, a warning
	message urges you to assign at least one Backup Master to
	prevent the loss of security information if the MSC were to
	become disabled.
