Viewing FIPS status for Access Appliance
The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 standard is enabled for Veritas Operating system (VxOS) with the default factory settings. You can view the FIPS status of VxOS for a cluster node and the FIPS status of NetBackup MSDP for each Veritas Data Deduplication server configured for the cluster.
To view the FIPS status:
- Log in to the Access Appliance web interface of the configured cluster by opening a supported browser and typing:
http://console-ip:14161
where console-ip is the management console IP address where the web interface is hosted.
- In the navigation pane, click Settings, and then click Security management.
On the FIPS tab, the VxOS FIPS status for both the cluster nodes and the MSDP FIPS status for each Veritas Data Deduplication server configured for the cluster is displayed:
Enabled: The FIPS mode is enabled.
Disabled: The FIPS mode is disabled.
Unknown: The FIPS status cannot be retrieved because the Veritas Data Deduplication server is stopped, shut down, or unreachable.
