High Availability KMC
Enhancements in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3a) enable the KMC to be used in high availability
environments where unattended operation is a requirement. The KMC can be configured to use an Oracle
Enterprise database with Data Guard for redundancy. Both the primary KMC and secondary KMC are
configured to point to the redundant database. Oracle maintains the key store synchronization and
database availability.
A pair of KMCs is also required for high availability key management. Each SME cluster is aware of
both the primary and secondary KMC. In the event that a SME cluster cannot reach the primary KMC,
it automatically switches to the secondary. While using the secondary KMC, the SME cluster
periodically checks to see if it can re-establish communications with the primary. The cluster resumes
using the primary KMC once it is accessible again.
