Installing and Configuring the SKM Appliance Servers 7
Scalar Key Manager 2.5
Caution: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Remember Your
Password!
If you change the password from the default and forget it, there is
no way to retrieve it!
Each SKM server has its own password. If you set them differently,
you must remember both.
If you forget your password, you will lose login access to the SKM
server, including backup and restore capability. Quantum will NOT
be able to restore the password.
Charges may apply for replacement of an SKM appliance server
required due to changing and then forgetting the password.
CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION!
• If you do not wish to change the password at this time, just press <Enter> at the
“change password” prompts and the default password (
password) remains.
You can change the password at any time later using SKM Admin Commands.
• If you wish to change the password:
a At the (current) UNIX password prompt, type the default password
(
password) and press <Enter>.
b Type a new password and press <Enter>.
c Type the new password again and press <Enter>.
d Press <Enter>.
11 Continue through the setup wizard to configure the rest of the settings: time zone,
date, time, SKM server IP address, netmask, and gateway. If you press <Enter>
without entering a value, the existing value remains.
Note: To ensure proper TLS certificate generation, Quantum recommends setting
both the Primary and Secondary SKM servers to the same date, time and
time zone even if they are in different time zones. (On both servers, use the
date, time and time zone values applicable to the Primary SKM server.)
Then, 24 hours after TLS certificate generation, you can correctly set the
date, time and time zone for the secondary server.
The IP address you are configuring is for Ethernet Port 2, the port you will be using
for network connection to SKM.
Ethernet Port 1 IP Address (never changes): 192.168.18.3
Ethernet Port 2 Default IP Address: 192.168.20.4 or 192.168.18.4 depending on
the server version
