HBAnyware Security Configurator Situations - Backup Masters
Table 20: HBAnyware Security Configurator - Backup Masters Situations
Situation
Resolution
Cannot create a backup master.
Select a system (or group of systems) from the MSC to be
the Backup Master. The system must be either an
unsecured system (which will be secured by being made a
Backup Master), or a system that is not part of any ASG
(client or server). These systems will mirror the MSC's
security configuration.
Because the Backup Master may some day take over as
the MSC, the Backup Master must be able to physically
access all of the systems that the MSC can access.
Therefore, if the MSC is connected to multiple fabrics, the
Backup Master also must be connected to those same
fabrics. When you select a Backup Master, the HBAnyware
Security Configurator displays a warning if it detects that
the system selected to be a Backup Master is not able to
physically access the same systems that the MSC can
access.

The servers are no longer part of a valid security
configuration because there is no MSC to provide master
control of the configuration. In order to reset the security on
the affected servers, you must contact Emulex Technical
Support to receive a special application and instructions on
the reset procedure. After the servers have been reset, they
should be seen by the Security Configurator and the
HBAnyware utility. At this point, you can set up security
again through another MSC. At this time, also create a
Backup Master.

The Backup Master tab is not available.
The Backup Master tab is displayed only when the Security
Configurator is running on the MSC or a Backup Master.
You use this tab to set up a system or systems to be
backups to the MSC and to replace the MSC with a Backup
Master.
Each time you start the Security Configurator on the MSC
and there is no Backup Master assigned, a warning
message urges you to assign at least one Backup Master to
prevent the loss of security information if the MSC were to
become disabled.
