Add a key management server

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

Description

This command adds a key management server at the indicated IP address to its list of four possible active key management servers. The command fails if there are already four key management servers configured. This command is not supported when onboard key management is enabled.

Parameters

-address <IP Address> - IP Address

This parameter specifies the IP address of the key management server you want to use to store keys.

[-server-port <integer>] - Server TCP Port

This parameter specifies the TCP port on which the key management server will listen for incoming connections.

Examples

The following example adds the key management server with address 10.233.1.98, listening for incoming connections on the default TCP port 5696, to the list of key management servers used by the external key manager:

cluster-1::> security key-manager add -address 10.233.1.198

The following example adds the key management server with address 10.233.1.98, listening for incoming connections on TCP port 15696, to the list of key management servers used by the external key manager:

cluster-1::> security key-manager add -address 10.233.1.198 -server-port 15696
