Install Zettaset XCrypt Full Disk

1min

The installer sends the Zettaset XCrypt Full Disk libraries and configuration files to each target node and encrypts the nodes and partitions listed in the hosts.inv file.

The Zettaset XCrypt Full Disk installer must have permission to write to the PKCS #11 (FXPKCS11) log file, fxpkcs11.log, on the primary KMIP node. Before proceeding with the steps in this procedure, run the following command as root or sudo to add write permissions on the fxpkcs11.log file.
