integer

I/O timeout in seconds for communicating with the key server.

server_ca_certificates

array[server_ca_certificates]

The UUIDs of the server CA certificates already installed in the cluster or SVM. The array of certificates are common for all the keyservers per SVM.

Configures onboard key management. After configuring onboard key management, save the encrypted configuration data in a safe location so that you can use it if you need to perform a manual recovery operation.

Name Type Description

enabled

boolean

Is the onboard key manager enabled?

existing_passphrase

string

The cluster-wide passphrase. This is not audited.

key_backup

string

Backup of the onboard key manager's key hierarchy. It is required to save this backup after configuring the onboard key manager to help in the recovery of the cluster in case of catastrophic failures.

Name Type Description

code

integer
