Preparing to configure the clusters in secure mode

You can set up Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT) for the cluster

In a cluster that is online, if you want to enable or disable AT using the

installsfcfs -security command, see the Veritas Cluster Server Administrator's

Guide for instructions.

The prerequisites to configure a cluster in secure mode are as follows:

■ A system in your enterprise that serves as root broker (RB).

You can either use an external system as root broker, or use one of the cluster

nodes as root broker.
