Tasks
VCS administratorCopy the files that are required to configure a cluster in secure mode
to the system from where you plan to install and configure Storage
Foundation Cluster File System.
See “Preparing the installation system for the security infrastructure”
on page 81.
Installing the root broker for the security infrastructure
Install the root broker only if you plan to use AT to configure the cluster in secure
mode. You can use a system outside the cluster or one of the systems within the
cluster as root broker. If you plan to use an external broker, the root broker
administrator must install and configure the root broker before you configure
the Authentication Service for Storage Foundation Cluster File System. Symantec
recommends that you install the root broker on a stable system that is outside
the cluster.
You can also identify an existing root broker system in the data center to configure
the cluster in secure mode. The root broker system can run AIX, HP-UX, Linux,
or Solaris operating system.
See Symantec Product Authentication Service documentation for more
information.
