Update cluster-wide passphrase

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the advanced privilege level.

Description

The security key-manager update-passphrase command provides a way to update the cluster-wide passphrase, created initially by running the security key-manager setup command, that is used for onboard key management. This command prompts for the existing passphrase, and if that passphrase is correct then the command prompts for a new passphrase.

When the security key-manager update-passphrase command is executed in a MetroCluster configuration, then run the security key-manager setup command with the new passphrase on the partner site before proceeding with any key-manager operations. This allows the updated passphrase to be replicated to the partner site.

Examples

The following example updates the cluster-wide passphrase used for onboard key management:

cluster-1::*> security key-manager update-passphrase

Warning: This command will reconfigure the cluster passphrase for onboard
         key-management.

Update passphrase has completed. Save the new encrypted configuration data in
a safe location so that you can use it if you need to perform a manual recovery
operation. To view the data, use the "security key-manager backup show" command.
