Nortel Networks NN46120-104 instruction

Installing an ASA 310-FIPS in a New Cluster 61

( new setup, continued)

Verify that HSM-SO iKey (purple) is inserted in card 1

(with flashing LED).

Hit enter when done.

Enter a new HSM-SO password for card 1: <define a new

HSM-SO password, or use the same HSM-SO password as for

card 0>

Re-enter to confirm:

The HSM-SO iKey has been updated.

Verify that HSM-USER iKey (blue) is inserted in card 1 (with flashing LED).

Hit enter when done.

Enter a new HSM-USER password for card 1: <define a new

HSM-USER password, or use the same HSM-USER password as

for card 0>

Re-enter to confirm:

The HSM-USER iKey has been updated.

Card 1 successfully initialized.

6Split the wrap key from HSM card 0 onto the CODE-SO and CODE-USER iKeys.

This step is related to splitting the software wrap key used internally in the cluster, and then loading the split wrap key onto the two black CODE-SO and CODE-USER iKeys. These iKeys will then be used to transfer the cluster wrap key onto another HSM card either within the same ASA 310-FIPS device (as in Step 7), or to HSM cards in an ASA 310-FIPS device that is added to the current cluster.

Each ASA 310-FIPS device is shipped with four black CODE iKeys. However, you will only need to use two of these in one given cluster. The extra two black iKeys can be used to create a pair of backup CODE iKeys. For more information about how to create a pair of backup CODE iKeys, see the splitkey command on the HSM menu (described under Maintenance Menu in the Command Reference).

To successfully split and load the cluster wrap key onto the correct iKeys, you need the following:

•Two black CODE iKeys, supposedly labeled "CODE-SO" and "CODE-USER" respectively.

If the black iKeys are not already labeled CODE-SO and CODE-USER respectively, you are recommended to do so before inserting them. Whenever the cluster wrap key needs to be transferred onto an initialized HSM card, you will be prompted for the specific CODE iKey, in turns. Having each iKey properly
