HBAnyware Security Configurator Situations - Backup Masters

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).
