Wait about 3 minutes to allow the server to complete startup before you connect via
SSH in the next step.
Configuring the SKM
Appliance Servers
Follow the instructions below for
both SKM appliance servers
.
Note:
Both SKM appliance servers must be configured, operational, and connected to
the network before any libraries can be set up to use them.
Configuration requires you to read and accept the end user license agreement, and then
complete a setup wizard to configure the following values. Before beginning, decide
what each value should be. (You can change these values in the future, if desired.)
• Password
• Time zone, date, and time
• IP address, netmask, and gateway
Allow 30 minutes per server to complete the configuration.
