Set Time Information

Set the time information after providing the quorum login information within the QuickStart wizard.

  1. If an NTP server is available in your network environment, at the prompt, enter the NTP server host name or IP address.
  2. If an NTP server is not available, press Enter. Then, enter the date and time in one of the specified formats, or press Enter to use the displayed date and time.

    Ensure the date and time are accurate. Key lifecycles are based on time intervals, and the original creation times for the keys are contained in the backup. An accurate time setting on the replacement KMA is essential to preserve the expected key lifecycles.

  3. Once you see KMA initialization complete!, press Enter to exit. The QuickStart program terminates and a login prompt is displayed.
  4. Proceed to Restore a Backup to use OKM Manager to finish the restoration.
