Task KVC0I065—Enter LMP Key

Use this task to enter a new, or update an existing LMP key. The LMP KEY must be placed on each server SYSRES volume that is used (100, 101, 102, or 103). This task is independent of the generation of the server nucleus and can be used annually to update the file with the site's new key. It can be done while the server is running. When it is placed on the currently active server SYSRES, the updated key is used for the next LMP key check by the server.

CA Top Secret is an LMP key‑controlled product. A valid LMP key must be supplied to run the product cleanly.

READ/WRITE access to the CA Top Secret server’s SYSRES minidisk is required. It is requested using a selected MULTI‑READ link. You may need to specify the server’s MULT password.

Use this task any time the LMP key file needs to be created or updated. Make sure that the updated key is placed on every SYSRES minidisk that is used in your environment. This task can be selected multiple times to update all the disks required.

To enter a new, or update an existing LMP key

  1. From the Task Selection Menu, select panel KVC0‑I065.
  2. Select the target vCUU address to receive the updated LMP key and press F2

    The LMP key file on the selected minidisk is updated.

  3. If prompted, enter the MULT password for the server SYSRES minidisk selected in the previous step.

    Note: Although the MULT password is requested, this procedure does not link in MULTI‑WRITE mode. Rather a MULTI‑READ link is requested to obtain exclusive WRITE access while tolerating existing READ‑ONLY links.

  4. The file CAILMP KEYS is opened using XEDIT. It will contain the contents of an already existing file or a single‑line dummy entry. Comment records can be added to the file by putting an * in column one of a line.

    Note: If sharing a server 100 disk across multiple CPU’s you may include all keys in this file. Each CPU will look for it’s match key during LMP key processing

  5. When the file has been updated, type FILE.

    The task completes.
