Updating Cluster Key

The steps to generate a new set of the cluster SSH keys.

Before you begin

Ensure that all the nodes in the cluster are active, before changing the cluster key.
If a new key is deployed to a node that is unreachable, then connect the node to the cluster. In this scenario, remove the node from the cluster and re-join the cluster.

Generate a new set of the cluster SSH keys to the nodes that are directly connected to the local node. This ensures that the trusted appliance cluster is secure.

To re-generate cluster keys:

  1. In the ESA CLI Manager, navigate to Tools > Clustering > Trusted Appliances Cluster > Maintenance: Update Cluster Settings.

    The following screen appears.

  2. Select New Cluster Keys.

    A message to re-generate the cluster keys appears.

  3. Select Yes.

    The new keys are deployed to the nodes that are directly connected.
