Description

After going through the steps to initialize the FIPS module, after the last reboot, the FIPS still shows as not configured.

Resolution

  1. Removed FIPS appliance from ADM management.
  2. Completed FIPS initialization process without issues.
  3. Re-added device to ADM management.

Problem Cause

  1. Devices were previously added to ADM management.
  2. ADM Management was making configuration changes and saving configuration during the FIPS initialization process.
  3. As the FIPS initialization process requires that the configuration only be saved once after the "set FIPS" command and requires several reboots, the configuration changes done by ADM were interfering with the FIPS initialization process.
