Provision a new instance or modify an existing instance and assign a partition

After creating the partitions, you must assign them to instances.

Important:

  • You can attach only one FIPS partition to an instance.
  • An instance with a FIPS partition can be assigned only one CPU core.

Provision a new instance or modify an existing instance

  1. On the Configuration tab, navigate to NetScaler > Instances, and add or modify an instance.
  2. Select Enable FIPS, and from the Partitions list, select a partition to attach to this instance.

You can verify that the partition is attached to an instance by using either the GUI or the CLI.

In the GUI, navigate to System > HSM Administration > Partitions. The instance name attached to the partition is displayed.

To unassign a FIPS partition¸ navigate to NetScaler > Instances. Edit the instance and clear the Enable FIPS check box.

In the CLI, at the command prompt, type the following commands:

show fips

If you see the following output, see the troubleshooting section for debugging.
