The TOE reboots and goes through boot time self tests. If the test fails, the TOE goes into a loop and displays an error message on the serial console and the LCD. Otherwise, it displays the Login prompt after the self tests. Multi-Grid management is enabled as soon as Grid support becomes FIPS capable.
Note the following:
- When you configure a Grid Master and enable a certain, either CC or FIPS, mode in the Grid Master and then configure a Grid member with a different mode than that of the Grid Master, the member automatically takes the same mode as the Grid Master when you add this member to the Grid Master. For example, if the Grid Master is in FIPS mode and the Grid member is CC mode enabled, the Grid member becomes FIPS enabled when you add this member to the Grid.
- Consider an HA Grid Master with a certain, either CC or FIPS, mode enabled in the active node. When you join a passive node to the HA Grid Master, it automatically takes the same node as the Grid Master in the active node. For example, if FIPS is enabled in the active node, then the passive node too becomes FIPS enabled when you join it to the HA Grid Master even though it was in CC mode earlier.
When the HA pair is enabled, you cannot enable or disable either the CC or FIPS mode on the active or passive nodes.
Infoblox suggests that you do the following for an HA pair:
- Set either CC or FIPS mode on each node before building an HA pair.
- Set both the nodes of an HA pair in the same mode, that is either in the CC mode, or FIPS mode, or none.
