Configuring the first SKM appliance

If you have more than one SKM appliance, HP recommends that they be clustered for high availability. In

this section, one SKM appliance will be configured first. In

Establishing a cluster

, that configuration will

be transferred to the remaining SKM appliances.
If you are replacing an SKM appliance or adding a member to an existing cluster, skip to

Establishing a

The configurations in this step are performed from the SKM management web console, which can be

accessed from any web browser with Internet access to the SKM appliance. The URL for the appliance is:
https://<appliance hostname>:<appliance port number>
