Manage EFS settings

Use this task to create, view, and edit encrypted file system (EFS) properties.

An EFS keystore is used to maintain the details of users and groups in a cluster. This keyfile is stored either on a shared file system or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). The EFS keystore is created before creating or adding EFS file systems to the cluster.

Fields

EFS keystore mode
Select the location for storing EFS keystore information.
LDAP
If an LDAP server and client connection are defined for the cluster, the location is set to LDAP.
Shared file system
If an LDAP connection is not defined, the location is set to shared file system.
Volume group for EFS keystore
Select a volume group from a list of available concurrent volume groups in the cluster to specify the location of the keystore file system.

This field can be set only when the EFS keystore mode value is specified as shared file system.

Service IP label or IP address
Select a service IP label or IP address from the list to export the EFS keystore as Network File System (NFS) mount in the cluster.

This field can be set only when the EFS keystore mode value is specified as shared file system.

For more information about editing an EFS keystore, see the Changing an encrypted file system (EFS) configuration topic in the AIX® Information Center.
