Creating key store

You can use the apsedkeydb command to create the key stores.

Procedure

  1. Log in to any control node as apadmin or equivalent user.
  2. Run the following command to create the key-store for AEK storage:
    apsedkeydb create <password>
    Example:
    [apadmin@e1n1 bin]# apsedkeydb create password
    Created key-store
    Note: Do not use special characters " or ' in the password. If you need to use these characters, as a workaround, you can use the myPass variable as in the following example:
    [root@gt08-node1 ~]# read -rs -p "Password : " myPass
    Password : 
    
    [root@gt08-node1 ~]# echo $myPass
    u'~EFwU;=RD'Q&q\mXzE$Y0V08."dxB6
    
    [root@gt08-node1 ~]# apsedkeydb create "$myPass"
    Machine Model is 3453-C2E
    Current node is control node..
