Validate the disaster recovery package passphrase

Cohesity strongly recommends that you validate the disaster recovery (DR) package passphrase every 30 days. It helps you recall the passphrase when you need to recover the primary server identity using the DR package.

If validation fails, the specified passphrase is set as your DR package passphrase.

To validate the disaster recovery package passphrase

  1. At the top right, select Settings > Global security.
  2. Go to the Disaster recovery tab.
  3. Locate the Passphrase Validation section and select Validate.
  4. Enter and confirm the passphrase that you set earlier.
  5. Select the check box Notify me to validate passphrase every 30 days. This option is recommended.
  6. Select Validate.
