18 Steps for connecting to an RKM appliance The CA certificate file referenced in the SSLCAcertificateFile field (see step 4) must be imported and registered on the switch designated as an encryption group leader. You may want to note this location before proceeding to "Loading the CA certificate onto the encryption group leader" on page 446. RKM key vault high availability deployment When dual RKM appliances are used for high availability, the RKM appliances must be clustered and must operate in maximum availability mode, as described in the RKM appliance user documentation. When dual RKM appliances are clustered, they are accessed using an IP load balancer. For a complete high availability deployment, the multiple IP load balancers are clustered, and the IP load balancer cluster exposes a virtual IP address called a floating IP address. The floating IP address must be registered on the Brocade encryption group leader. Neither the secondary RKM appliance nor individual RKM appliance IP addresses should be registered. Loading the CA certificate onto the encryption group leader The certificate for the CA that signed the switch KAC CSRs must be loaded onto the encryption group leader. The group leader can then distribute the CA certificate to the encryption group members. 1.
