The PKI Certificate utility always writes event and error information to a log file by appending information to an existing file or by creating a new one if one does not exist. You must provide the IP addresses or switch names (domain aliases) of one switch in each fabric you want to access. The utility will operate on all switches in a fabric. You cannot target a single switch in a multi-switch fabric. Addresses or switch names can be provided in a file (one address or name per line) or manually entered as prompted.

This utility may be run from the command line. This is useful when using a script from which to run the pkicert utility. Command (or batch) mode usage is as follows: pkicert [task-options] [-e event-log-file] [-d data-file] [-a addr-file] [-A switch-addr] [-L log-level] [-u user-name -p password] 10 Secure Fabric OS for Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Firmware Release Notes

PKI Certificate Installation Utility for Solaris
The main purpose of the PKI Certificate Installation utility is to provide functions
that support automated installation of digital certificates onto multiple switches.
Installation
An environment variable,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/gnu/lib:...
, must
be defined that includes the path to the library files that accompanied pkicert—
libFabOsApi.so
and
libstdc++.so
.
Usage
This utility may be used interactively via its text-based, menu-driven interface or
it may be used from the command line. The command-line (batch mode) usage
exists to support use of its functions from a script.
The easiest way to use this utility is to run it interactively by running the
executable
pkicert
with no task-option arguments. An argument of
-h
prints the
brief command line usage information. You can read more detailed help
information by starting it with no command-line arguments and interactively
choosing
Help
from the main menu.
The PKI Certificate utility always writes event and error information to a log file
by appending information to an existing file or by creating a new one if one does
not exist.
You must provide the IP addresses or switch names (domain aliases) of one switch
in each fabric you want to access. The utility will operate on all switches in a
fabric. You cannot target a single switch in a multi-switch fabric.
Addresses or switch names can be provided in a file (one address or name per
line) or manually entered as prompted.
Data files, both input and output contain switch data in XML format. You may
view the data files with an editor, but do not attempt to edit them as this may
invalidate the format or data.
This utility may be run from the command line. This is useful when using a script
from which to run the
pkicert
utility.
Command (or batch) mode usage is as follows:
pkicert
[task-options] [-e event-log-file] [-d data-file] [-a
addr-file] [-A switch-addr] [-L log-level] [-u user-name -p
password]
