Adding a member node to an encryption group

During the initialization phase a set of key pairs and certificates are generated on every node.
These certificates are used for mutual identification and authentication with other group members
and with KMIP. Every device must have a certificate in order to participate in a deployment of
encryption services. Some devices must have each other’s certificates in order to communicate.

Before adding a member node to an encryption group, ensure that the node has been properly
initialized and that all encryption engines are in an enabled state. See

“Initializing the Brocade

encryption engines”

on page 157.

After adding the member node to the encryption group, the following operations can still be
performed on the member node if necessary. Initially, these commands should not be necessary if
the initialization procedure was followed:

cryptocfg

--

initEE

cryptocfg

--

regEE

cryptocfg

--

enableEE
