dsphakeys (display HA key information)

Display information about the SSH keys used for secure communication between an HA pair.

Purpose

Good security practise requires that the secret keys used to secure communications between appliances in an HA pair are periodically regenerated and exchanged. Use the dsphakeys command to see when the keys used by the HA configuration were last generated.

Usage Notes

  • This command must be run from the IBM® MQ administration mode. If the system is in the IBM MQ administration mode the prompt includes mqa(mqcli)#. To enter the IBM MQ administration mode, enter mqcli on the command line. To exit the IBM MQ administration mode, enter exit on the command line.
  • If you run dsphakeys on an appliance on which HA was configured before the upgrade to version 9.0.2, an error occurs. To correct the error, regenerate the keys by using the crthakeys command.
  • You can run the dsphakeys command at any time on either appliance in the HA pair. The command does not have any operational or performance impact.
  • The command displays the date and time that the keys were last generated in UTC time (UTC+00:00).
