Use the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user
interface to determine whether the HADR cluster configuration information in any of the master
servers of the cluster is out of sync. If the cluster configuration information is out of sync, you
can easily sync the information from the graphical user interface.
About this task
The cluster configuration details of a master server can be out of sync in the following
scenario: A new master server is added or removed from the cluster when the master server is
offline or unreachable. When the master server restarts, it does not have information about any
newly added or removed master server, and hence, goes out of sync.
Procedure
- Determine whether the cluster configuration information in the master server is out of
sync.
- Log in to the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical
user interface.
- In the Multi-Master section, check the Status column for all
the master servers of the cluster. A master server with out of sync cluster configuration is
indicated by a red status.
- Sync the cluster configuration of the master server:
- In the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager graphical user
interface, click
.
The Multi-Master Configuration page opens. In the master servers table, for the
master server that has an out of sync cluster configuration, the Cluster
configuration column displays a Red status
- Select the master server to be synced, and click Sync Cluster
Configuration.
The background Sync service runs and updates the cluster configuration details of the master
server.
- After some time, refresh the Multi-Master Configuration page. The
status of the Cluster Configuration column for that master server is updated
to Green.
