Preparing to configure the clusters in secure mode

Installing the root broker for the security infrastructure

Install the root broker only if you plan to use AT to configure the cluster in secure mode. The root broker administrator must install and configure the root broker before you configure the Authentication Service for VCS. Symantec recommends that you install the root broker on a stable system that is outside the cluster.

You can install the root broker on an AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris system.

See Symantec Product Authentication Service documentation for more information.

See “About Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT)” on page 19.
