key_server_state

The connectivity state of the key server for a specific node.

Name Type Description

node

node

state

string

Key server connectivity state

connectivity

This property contains the key server connectivity state of all nodes in the cluster. This is an advanced property; there is an added computational cost to retrieving its value. The property is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter or GET for all advanced properties is enabled.

Name Type Description

cluster_availability

boolean

Set to true when key server connectivity state is available on all nodes of the cluster.

node_states

array[key_server_state]

An array of key server connectivity states for each node.

key_server_readcreate

Name Type Description

_links

self_link

connectivity

connectivity

This property contains the key server connectivity state of all nodes in the cluster. This is an advanced property; there is an added computational cost to retrieving its value. The property is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter or GET for all advanced properties is enabled.

secondary_key_servers

string

A comma delimited string of the secondary key servers associated with the primary key server.

server

string

External key server for key management. If no port is provided, a default port of 5696 is used.

timeout

integer

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

username

string

Username credentials for connecting with the key server.

external

Configures external key management

Name Type Description

client_certificate

client_certificate

Client certificate (name and UUID)

server_ca_certificates

array[server_ca_certificates]

The array of certificates that are common for all the keyservers per SVM.

servers

array[key_server_readcreate]

The set of external key servers.

onboard

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.

passphrase

string

The cluster-wide passphrase. This is not audited.

synchronize

boolean

Synchronizes missing onboard keys on any node in the cluster. If a node is added to a cluster that has onboard key management configured, the synchronize operation needs to be performed in a PATCH operation. In a MetroCluster configuration, if onboard key management is enabled on one site, then the synchronize operation needs to be run as a POST operation on the remote site providing the same passphrase.

status

Optional status information on the current state of the key manager indicating if it is fully setup or requires more action.

Name Type Description

code

integer

Code corresponding to the status message. Returns 0 if the setup is complete. This is an advanced property; there is an added computational cost to retrieving its value. The property is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter or GET for all advanced properties is enabled.

message

string

Current state of the key manager indicating any additional steps to perform to finish the setup. This is an advanced property; there is an added computational cost to retrieving its value. The property is not populated for either a collection GET or an instance GET unless it is explicitly requested using the fields query parameter or GET for all advanced properties is enabled.

svm

Name Type Description

name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

volume_encryption

Indicates whether volume encryption is supported in the cluster.

  • Default value:

  • Introduced in: 9.7

  • x-ntap-readModify: true

  • x-nullable: true

onboard

onboard

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.

policy

string

Security policy associated with the key manager. This value is currently ignored if specified for the onboard key manager.

scope

string

Set to "svm" for interfaces owned by an SVM. Otherwise, set to "cluster".

status
