It would have the same IP and hostname.   Disk and network is accessible to all 
CECs .
Thanks for checking!

Hm, wouldn't that "same Linux" (I assume you mean to boot the same image on 
different CECs) have different IP addresses, depending on where you boot it?

I am afraid the TKE could be confused if you really used the same IP address on 
different CECs, but I guess it couldwork and it would "think" you just replaced 
all adapters (assuming the TKE looks at adapter S/Ns).

But if each Linux instance has its own IP address then the TKE should be good 
at connecting to all of them and doing some work in parallel in particular if 
you want to configure the same master keys on multiple adapte domains.

But to be on  the safe side I will check with an TKE expert.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best Regards/Cordialement

Reinhard

Thank you!



One more question, would TKE be totally confused if I used the same linux, 
moving it CEC to CEC (in an LPAR) to load keys on say 8 boxes?

Or would each CEC need to have its own Linux?

Hi Marcy,



when using CCA (i.e. the TKE is configured to communicate with panel.exe) no 
authentication will be perfromed.

You need neither enter an ID nor a password just click OK.

This is not considered insecure because all the catcher does is to forward 
signed requests to the crypto adapter.



For EP11 (i.e. if the TKE is configured to communicate with the ep11TKEd) it 
must a Linux user and password configured for the ep11TKEd as described here 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/com.ibm.linux.z.lxce/lxce_installing_hostpart.html
 (The default setting is to allow any user that has a password configured and 
is member of the ep11tke group to gain access through the ep11TKEd daemon.)



Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best Regards/Cordialement

Reinhard
