Steps to add missing master keys

Use this section to add new master keys after migrating to a server which supports master keys that were not available when your CKDS and PKDS were initialized. The master key value will be calculated from your pass phrase, loaded and set. The CKDS and PKDS will be updated so keys for the new algorithms can be stored in them.

You must use the same pass phrase you originally used to initialize the master keys, CKDS and PKDS.
  1. Type the pass phrase in the space that is provided and select the 'Reinitialize system' option by placing an "s" in the "_" field.
  2. Press ENTER to run the utility.

    The utility will verify the pass phrase matches the active CKDS and PKDS. The values of the new master keys are calculated and loaded into all coprocessors. The CKDS and PKDS are updated with the master key verification pattern of the new master keys.

    Messages on the bottom half of the panel display the progress of the utility.

  3. When the utility has completed successfully, press END to return to the primary menu.
